Uplift Central Coast
Overview
Uplift Central Coast brings residents, businesses, workforce partners, public agencies, and community organizations together to develop an inclusive and resilient regional economy. Through California Jobs First, its work combines community engagement, economic research, regional planning, and support for developing investment-ready projects. Partners can discuss workforce and industry priorities, contribute local perspectives, and explore published regional research. Organizations developing projects can ask about current predevelopment or implementation opportunities. Funding eligibility and application status must be checked with the team; earlier award announcements do not establish an open funding round.
