True development begins with people. Beyond economic growth, real progress means creating opportunities, improving lives, and building communities where everyone can thrive. Let’s put people at the heart of development.

Why Florida? More value for what matters.

A competitive cost of living can help families make the most of their budgets and businesses make the most of their investments. Florida offers opportunities to build, grow, and plan for the future.

Strong rural communities are essential to a strong Florida economy. We stand with FREDA in supporting policies that protect the public services, infrastructure, and investments that help rural communities attract jobs, grow businesses, and thrive.

The Florida Rural Economic Development Association (FREDA) Board of Directors met and unanimously approved the following statement regarding Amendment 3:

"Florida's rural communities succeed when they have the tools to invest in their future. Amendment 3 would jeopardize funding for essential public safety, infrastructure, and community investments while shifting more of the tax burden onto businesses and other property owners. These changes would make it more difficult for rural communities to compete for jobs, attract new investment, and grow their local economies. The Florida Rural Economic Development Association supports thoughtful tax reform—but not at the expense of the services and investments that help rural Florida thrive."
