MISSION AND VALUES
The Tampa Bay EDC is the lead designated economic development agency for Hillsborough County and the cities of Tampa, Plant City and Temple Terrace. Working with corporate executives, site selection consultants, real estate professionals, and other influential decision-makers, we provide customized, confidential relocation and expansion services to domestic and international companies interested in growing their business in Hillsborough County.
Opportunity Tampa Bay
The Tampa Bay EDC unveiled its new three-year strategic plan at the start of fiscal year 2020. Opportunity Tampa Bay focuses on three major goals in order to capitalize on the progress we’ve made and to strengthen Tampa Bay’s competitiveness: Business Development, Talent, and Placemaking.
These goals drive the content and focus of every one of our marketing initiatives. And the four guiding principles we’ve established will inform our growth and improvement objectives for the EDC and the market we serve.
The results from our FY2020-FY2022 Strategic Action Plan is available to download.
