The Commercial and Industrial Heart of the Region

According to the 2023 Study: Corporate Relocation at Highest Rate Since 2017 from Hire a Helper, Florida had 86% more corporations move their HQ into the state, compared to the number of companies that moved their head office out of Florida — the highest net gain of any state!

Additionally, Tampa was among the top ten cities with the biggest net gains in new corporate headquarters at 42.9%.

As the commercial and industrial heart of the region, Hillsborough County – which includes the cities of Tampa, Plant City, and Temple Terrace – is a leading location for corporate site selection in North America.

Companies operating here enjoy lower costs, favorable corporate tax policies, no personal income tax, and stable, pro-business leadership. Collaboration between government and industry has resulted in effective development packages, expedited permitting, and streamlined regulatory processes.

AFC Logistics celebrates the relocation of its corporate headquarters to Tampa with a ribbon cutting ceremony.

"

When we moved Workscapes’ headquarters to Tampa in 2019, we believed in the region’s
momentum, but the experience has exceeded our expectations. Tampa has proven to be an incredibly welcoming community, both professionally and personally, and it has become our favorite place to live. Our relationships with the Tampa Bay Economic Development Council have been especially meaningful. The level of collaboration and support we’ve experienced has truly contributed to our success here.

– Elizabeth Dvorak, Founder and CEO, Workscapes
