Our area’s business, education, government and economic development leaders are being called upon to help update Enterprise Florida’s plan for the state’s economic future by participating in a strategic planning workshop.

Ideas and recommendations from the planning meeting will be used to enhance the state’s blueprint for economic development – The Roadmap to Florida’s Future: The 2007-2012 Strategic Plan for Economic Development. The Roadmap details Florida’s priorities for furthering economic expansion and diversification. The half-day workshop will provide a forum for high-level Florida officials to work with our area’s business and community leaders in identifying key economic priorities. Topics will include creating, retaining and attracting high-value jobs; building a world-class workforce; enhancing infrastructure; and protecting Floridians’ quality of life.
