Economic development is at the epicenter of our daily lives. It affects where we live, work and play. The prosperity of this community depends on thoughtful investment of our tax dollars to create jobs and foster a culture of private reinvestment that will continue for generations to come.
We are dedicated to economic development, which delivers critical jobs to our citizens. Hillsborough County is exploding with growth, and in the last few years of recovery from the recession, county government has focused on directing economic incentives and investments that promote a vibrant, thriving local economy.
Hillsborough County has a key leadership role in economic development. Over the past 10 years, the county has invested more than $258 million in economic development initiatives. These investments help create the “product” that we market to businesses.
