Big time industrial growth in Lakeland during 2020
|

Polk County's business-friendly atmosphere, inviting communities, sunny days and quality of life continue to attract new residents, ranking Polk No. 1 in Florida's net migration - people moving here from other states.
Polk County ranked No. 8 in net migration in the country, drawing more than 17,000 people in a year. The county has grown 20% in the last decade, from roughly 600,000 when the U.S. Census was taken in 2010 to about 725,000 in July 2019, the latest data available. The state of Florida was No. 1 in net migration in 2019, attracting more than an estimated 600,000 people moving to the state, according to the U.S. Census, with Lee and Pasco counties also ranking in the top 10 nationally. Florida's overall population now exceeds 21 million. More people bring more opportunities, and the Central Florida Development Council is working to attract new businesses and industry to our county. With more than 10 million people and thousands of businesses in a 100-mile radius of the county, businesses have a ready-made audience to sell or deliver their products to. Add to that a talented and plentiful workforce, colleges that are willing to partner with industry and a top-rate transportation system, among other things, and it's easy to find many reasons for businesses to locate or expand here. But what we have isn't enough to meet the demands of our growing population. That's why we must improve our infrastructure now, whether it's roads, water, sewer and electric systems, or even schools. The Polk Regional Water Cooperative (PRWC), the Central Polk Parkway and Polk County Schools, not to mention our cities and county governments, are already doing that. "Planning, collaboration and innovative thinking are important as we continue to make Polk County Florida's Best Place for Business and residents," says Commissioner George Lindsey, Polk County Board of County Commission liaison for the CFDC. "Advancing projects that ensure Polk leads the way in strong infrastructure better equips our businesses and residents for success."
