Lee County
Lee County is an 804 square-mile metropolitan area of some 600,000 residents nestled along the Gulf Coast of Southwest Florida. It's a county so committed to growing business that its national acclaim in the past few years has included:
- Top mid-sized economic development hot spot (Expansion Management, 2008)
- Fourth best business climate in the United States (Inc. Magazine, 2007)
- One of the fastest growing metros (U.S. Census Bureau, 2005-2006)
And, if that isn't enough, Lee County offers a backdrop for business that includes 50 stunning miles of white-sand beachfront, more canals than Venice, and one of the National Golf Foundation's top holes-per-capita rankings.
In Lee County, business is met with life. The beach shakes hands with the boardroom.
And, now, your business could qualify for a $25-million incentive to locate or expand within this growing Florida market!
We call it the FIRST initiative. You'll call it the icing on the cake.
Lee County is truly fortunate to have a community-wide effort in promoting economic development. The Fort Myers Regional Partnership works to bring new companies to the area and help existing businesses grow and expand. The staff provides support to the Horizon Council, Horizon Foundation, and Industrial Development Authority.
