Florida Power & Light (FPL) is an EDC Investor and an invaluable utility partner! FPL provides Investor support and great resources to help the EDC diversify Sarasota County's economy. Recently, the EDC submitted a proposal to FPL's Florida First Sites program for the North Port I-75 Innovation Corridor - a cutting-edge center of prospective business park development along I-75 and Toledo Blade Boulevard. The site was one of only 10 projects accepted to the highly competitive statewide program, which is awarded in conjunction with Global Location Strategies. The Florida First Sites program helps the EDC market and elevate the Innovation Corridor to growing national businesses that will bring capital investment and good jobs to North Port.

Congratulations to Big Top Brewing Company on being the inaugural EDC President Award recipient! The award celebrates businesses that have invested capital, job creation, and their heart into the future of Sarasota County. Big Top Brewing Co. started when there were no craft breweries in Sarasota. They wanted to complement Sarasota's historical associations with The Ringling Circus, performing arts, great architecture, the best art and design schools, and world-renowned tourism. The EDC was also thrilled to be a part of Big Top's journey to where the company is today. Now, with its largest location open, which features a restaurant and brewery, Big Top Brewing Co. is well on its way to continued success. If you have yet to go, we highly recommend you gather your favorite people and check out the newest location in Fruitville Commons. It's a great place to spend time over the holiday weekend. #EconDev #EconomicDevelopmentInFlorida #Florida #July4th #Manufacturing #ManufacturingInSarasotaCounty #SarasotaCounty
