Here Florida's contractors can access information on construction related stimulus and tax break programs to help re-invigorate Florida's construction industry. Here contractors can "one-stop-shop" for federal and state economic stimulus programs, tax incentives, and related training and certification programs to better position themselves to build their businesses and put more construction workers back to work. This site is a service of Workforce Florida, in partnership with the Florida Public Affairs Center, the Florida Home Builders Association, the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, and other construction industry association partners.
Florida’s home building construction industry has always been a mainstay of Florida’s economy providing billions of dollars in revenue and employing more than 500,000 Floridians. The current catastrophic economic downturn has impacted this historically strong industry in epic proportions with hundreds of thousands of jobs lost and hundreds of small businesses forced into bankruptcy. It is hoped that the federal stimulus effort will create a significant number of job opportunities throughout Florida. The purpose of this site is to create awareness in the private construction industry regarding these new opportunities. The need to match employers, job opportunities and needed training is at the heart of this initiative.
