The Virginia Growth and Opportunity Board has approved $930,000 for two grants that will fund projects using VCU engineering research into a new way to manufacture medicine in a former chemical plant in Petersburg and provide high tech industrial mechanics training in Prince George and Greensville counties.
Serena Harris is with the Grow Capital Jobs Foundation that is administering the Go Virginia Initiative approved by the General Assembly in 2016.
"We look at these projects as gateways to provide to support and encourage higher paying job creation and long term economic growth that’s associated with the region’s innovation economy."
VCU’s Medicines for All program has already tested its manufacturing concept with AIDS drugs for Africa and a $500,000 grant will be used for manufacturing generating $25 million in wages by the end of 2020.
A $430,000 grant and locality contributions will be used to set up training in “mechatronics” that combines mechanical and electrical engineering with computer science.
