This resolution commends the Georgia Institute of Technology and its partners for their NSF GRACE Engine proposal, which aims to address critical mineral supply chain challenges in the United States. The resolution highlights Georgia's growing clean energy and electric vehicle industries, and notes the state's strategic opportunity to develop a sustainable critical resource supply chain. The GRACE (Growing Resilience for America's Critical Mineral Economy) Engine proposal focuses on four key areas: optimizing regional resources, fostering innovation and workforce development, advancing technology commercialization, and ensuring strategic investments. The initiative seeks to create an inclusive and competitive clean energy ecosystem that will provide infrastructure for workforce development, support business start-ups, and establish pathways for skilled jobs in both urban and rural communities. By recognizing this proposal, the resolution emphasizes the potential for Georgia to become a leader in critical mineral production, economic competitiveness, and clean energy innovation, while also directing the House Clerk to distribute copies of the resolution to the public and press.
