Shaping our Appalachian region has been selected as one of 22 finalists for the U.S. Economic Development Administration Recompete Pilot Program. It was really excited to get that news. We're just thrilled and excited to get to work because Phase 2 will be doing in April and just represents a tremendous opportunity for the region. SOAR has been invited to Phase 2 of the application process, which will award implementation grants totaling between 20 to 50 million dollars to those selected. The Recompete Pilot Program provides grant funding to persistently distress communities across the country to create and connect workers to good jobs. SOAR was selected out of over 560 initial applicants. We're hoping for more good news, maybe late summer, early fall 2024 and hopefully we'll be bringing a bunch of funding back to help a lot of people in the region. As a finalist, SOAR will work with partners and communities to draft a competitive and compelling application and will participate in feedback sessions and a virtual summit with national experts before submitting a final application in April of 2024.
