Testimonials
"We have had the privilege of working alongside the Central Florida Development Council on several occasions. From assisting us in the transition of an almost-overnight relocation of a business to the consolidation of a state-wide distribution system, [CFDC] consistently demonstrates their professionalism and willingness to help."
- George Livingston, Chairman Emeritus, NAI Realvest
"AMB has identified Polk County as an industrial distribution growth market and has made a substantial investment in the area. The central location with excellent infrastructure connections to Tampa, Orlando and Miami, plus a fast growing local population and a pool of qualified labor makes the area ideal for state-wide distribution. The county and the Central Florida Development Council have been instrumental in partnering with AMB to...pave the way for future successful projects."
- Steven M. Kros, Vice President, Development, East, AMB Property Corporation
"Of all the groups I have dealt with in Polk County, I have found the Central Florida Development Council to be very responsive to my business requests over the years. Their speed of response to my business dealings in Polk County has been very efficient and productive. Central Florida is a great place to be with its being located between Tampa and Orlando, an excellent workforce to draw from and with great access to Interstate 4 and South Florida, I see us working with the Council for many more years to come."
- Garrett Kenny, Feltrim
"POLK COUNTY, FLORIDA… A TEXTBOOK COMMUNITY. Located between two major metropolitan markets, two international airports, and with world class educational, medical, cultural and recreational assets. Year round working climate and centered in an 18 million population Florida growth market. These amenities have helped Hauger-Bunch locate land and facilities for over 800 businesses for successful operations."
- David F. Bunch, SIOR, Hauger Bunch Commercial Realtors
"Polk County is the center of Florida. For distribution, there is no other site in Florida close to 8.5 million people within 100 miles. Why not be located on the I-4 corridor directly between Tampa and Orlando? Our labor costs are lower than the larger cities and our utility rates are the third lowest in the state. If you want to control your overhead, Polk County is the place to be."
- J. Greg Ruthven, The Ruthvens
"The Central Florida Development Council has played a major role in diversifying [Polk County's] industrial base and bringing the unemployment rates to some of the lowest in the state. The CFDC is well recognized as a successful example of a public/private partnership and I am proud to have been a part of the economic efforts and to work with many motivated volunteers and a very capable, professional staff. Polk County has a bright future ahead because of its location, availability of land and a positive attitude toward quality growth."
