Reach out to Your Legislators

As jobs remain the top priority in Tallahassee this session economic development is under a microscope.  Every legislator has their own ideas, thoughts and criticism on how economic development is led at the state, county and city level.  It is more important that every that FEDC and our members are present in Tallahassee to educate our state leaders on our profession and to ensure that we keep the ability to create jobs through supporting small business programs like Grow Florida, keeping the tools of our business in tact such as the ability to work confidentially and ensure that we do not loose the economic infrastructure that is  vital to business attraction and expansion.

We believe this time holds great promise and the opportunity for us to work together to create a strong foundation for Florida’s economic recovery, further diversification and sustainability. We recognize the power of our collective voice, network of stakeholders throughout our great state and rely on the key partnerships that enhance economic development like our local and regional economic development organizations, Florida’s companies and Universities, Workforce Florida, the Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) and Enterprise Florida, Inc. (EFI).   Please download our guide, “How to Schedule a Meeting with Your Legislator” and reach out to your legislators today!
