Hendry County

Hendry County is ranked number one in the nation in the production of oranges; number five for grapefruit; and number nine for watermelon. But we are not just a national center for agricultural development. Our abundance of land and easy access to rail and roadways makes us the perfect location for manufacturing and distribution, as well as a bright place to consider for relocating almost any business imaginable. 

The Hendry County Economic Development Council is eager to talk to you about business relocation and expansion opportunities. We work in conjunction with the Hendry County Board of Commissioners, the city governments of LaBelle and Clewiston, and both the LaBelle and Clewiston Chambers of Commerce.

Our office can provide you with the following.

  1. Assistance in filing for exemptions and other incentive programs
