JobsFirst Initiative
Growing Delaware’s Economy
Launched through Executive Order 18, JobsFirst is reforming Delaware’s permitting systems starting with the accelerator initiative to make government work at the speed of the economy. It coordinates state agencies around shared timelines, puts a single point of contact in front of every priority project, and tracks every decision publicly so anyone can see whether we are delivering on our promises.
Delaware families need more housing. Delaware businesses need reliable, affordable energy. Delaware communities need broadband and clean water. JobsFirst is how we build it — faster, smarter, and together.
Welcome. Let’s get to work.
