mission

from the

CHAIR Championing a more prosperous and diverse economy. That’s the vision of the Orlando Economic Development Commission (EDC). As chair of the EDC for the past year, I am proud to report that together, with strong leadership from industry, academia and government, we have made great strides to attract new, high-paying jobs in diverse fields for the betterment of our four-county region and the City of Orlando.

Over the last year, we worked with companies that project to create and/ or retain up to 3,750 jobs over the next three years and generate more than $170 million in capital investment.

Overall, our efforts helped to achieve a nearly 13 percent increase in the average wages of EDC projects over the region’s average wage. These are just a few of the year’s many achievements that we attribute to the support of our board members, investors and community stakeholders. But we still have a lot of work to do. We need to create more jobs; we need to create better jobs. And we need to continue working together to create an economy of opportunity for our entire community.

This past year was a time for refocusing our efforts after market research showed that we needed to streamline our business development efforts to five Targeted Industries – Business Services; Advanced Technologies; Film & Digital Media; Life Sciences & Healthcare; and Aviation, Aerospace & Defense.

New business development strategies go hand-in-hand with new marketing efforts. In 2013, we launched the Regional Branding Initiative to measure current perceptions of potential business Annual Report // 2

Building upon an internationally known reputation for hospitality and tourism, we will launch a regional business branding campaign to educate our community, visitors and prospective international and national businesses about the “other half” of Orlando.

I am confident of the great opportunities ahead. I am grateful to have worked with so many of you to continually improve the overall economic health of our region, and I look forward to supporting the coming endeavors for the betterment of our community.

Seventy-seven cents of every dollar raised directly supported the EDC’s economic development mission. In planning for the future and any potential economic shifts, the EDC added $100,000 to reserves this past year. The EDC ended its fiscal year on September 30, 2013, with more than $1 million in reserves – up $300,000 since 2011.
