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.

About the Governor

Logo of Governor Matt Meyer featuring the silhouette of Delaware in white over a blue square background, with a yellow curved line crossing it. The text 'Governor Matt Meyer' appears in white, with 'Governor' in smaller uppercase letters above 'Matt Meyer' in larger uppercase letters.

Governor Matt Meyer is a former public school math teacher and small business owner who served as New Castle County Executive from 2017 through January 2025. As the leader of Delaware’s largest local government, Matt proved that government can still work for the people–delivering real results for real people and making real progress for Delaware’s working families. Governor Meyer will bring that same result-driven leadership across our state by creating an effective government that reflects our values and priorities.
