Industries
Florida's business-friendly environment is helping the state’s business sectors become more vibrant and diverse every year. New companies continue to relocate to and expand in Florida due to collaboration with similar companies, a favorable tax environment, excellent transportation infrastructure and, of course, electric utility rates that are the lowest, most reliable, and cleanest in the Southeastern United States.
