Creating a bridge between our high-quality education institutions and employers within Washington County can create connections that lasts for years. This can inspire kids who were once students, now working professionals, to continue their careers and establish roots in Our Great Community. We are working towards investing in home grown talent. The American Rescue Plan Act awarded Washington County $26 million in recovery funds for economic and community recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic that will be used to address the current and future issues pertaining to the declining workforce in Washington County.
