| Statewide Interest: |
| The statewide interest is geared towards having professional individuals in various sectors of academia, mental & physical healthcare providers, family counselors, emergency management, and small business development professionals who will utilize their training to provide assistance to Colombians in their home country, therefore, expanding the outreach of the state in the Americas. With the largest percentage of Colombians in the United States residing in the state of Florida according to the 2000 Census Report, the funding will address a direct interest of the Colombian-American residents of Florida that contribute to the economy of the state. Lastly, with increase in the socio-economic stability in Colombia, Florida would be a directo benefactor of international business and trade with Colombia, one of the interests of Governor Bush. |
