Florida's Statewide  5-Year Strategic Plan for Economic Development

The Department of Economic Opportunity’s Division of Strategic Business Development is conducting regional forums to gather insights related to the creation of Florida’s 2012-2017 Statewide Strategic Plan for Economic Development. The purpose of the forum is to review and prioritize goals, objectives and strategies for implementation by state government that would assist Florida’s regions with economic development and job creation. Job creation partners and planners from local governments; local and regional economic development organizations; other local, state, federal, and international community and economic development entities; workforce and talent development entities; the business community; educational institutions; and others from the public are encouraged to participate. Because seating is limited and a diversity of representation will be important, please let the local coordinator know if you would like to receive an invitation to the meeting for your region.
