Economic Recovery Bill and the African-American community
Over the next 5 years a half a billion dollars in job training money will be coming to Clarksville. Hemlock Semiconductor (HSC) will open a new plant in Clarksville that will hire over 1,000 construction workers to build, and provide over 800 permanent high paying jobs when they open. HSC will be one of the richest employers in Clarksville’s history since the arrival of Fort Campbell in the 1940s.
Under the President’s Economic Recovery Bill, states and counties are poised to receive significant federal funding to stimulate the economy and put people back to work.
To learn more about the coming opportunities, join in a Community Discussion titled “How Will President Obama’s Economic Recovery Bill Affect the African American Community?” to be held on March 5 at the Montgomery County Public Library, 350 Pageant Lane, Clarksville, from 6-8 p.m. The event, which is free and open to the public, is hosted by the Urban Resource Center and its director, Terry McMoore, in partnership with the Center for Community Change.
New job opportunities for targeted populations include high school graduates, college graduates, veterans or members of the reserve forces, homeless individuals, non-violent ex-felons, and low-income individuals.
These are some of the questions:
- Pastors: Are you educated enough on the new job issues to help your congregation?
- Business Owners: Do you know the steps in getting funding for training under the Green Jobs Act?
- Community: Are you prepared to have a place at the table right now while there are still jobs and money available?
How and what this money is spent on is important to the survival of our communities; these are the jobs of the future and they pay good salaries. Don’t wait until the last minute.
