This edition is full of reasons to celebrate! In the past month, we've kicked off Ignite Davie, received over $2 million through an awarded grant, and hosted over 20 employers and 300 high school students for Advance Manufacturing day. I'm extremely proud of the work being done by so many dedicated individuals and teams here at DCCC.
