Glades County

Our central location – two hours north of Miami, two hours south of Orlando and nearly equidistant between Fort Myers and West Palm Beach – makes us a natural hub for the emerging warehousing/distribution and advanced manufacturing markets, via both road and rail. And our agricultural heritage makes us the natural epicenter for renewable energy.

Much of our county is located within an enterprise zone, which offers special tax incentives for credits against corporate or sales tax for job creation, sales tax refunds for purchases of business machinery and equipment, building materials sales tax refunds, and corporate income tax refunds equal to 96% of the value of new or improved property.

Your company could participate on the ground floor with a build-to-suit construction. Property owners might be interested in joint ventures, long-term lease or outright subdivision and sale of the property, depending upon your business needs and the particular site in which you're interested.
