Communities across Rural Florida continue to compete for investment, jobs, and growth opportunities—yet many promising sites face challenges related to readiness, infrastructure, funding, and positioning. This training is designed to help counties and communities understand how to take a site from raw land to development-ready, while reducing risk and increasing competitiveness.
Participants will hear from experienced speakers who will walk through the full site readiness process—from early site preparation and due diligence to identifying grant and funding opportunities that can help offset development costs. The goal is to provide practical, actionable guidance that communities can begin using immediately.
This training is intended to be collaborative and is strongly encouraged for teams, including:
- Economic Development Organizations
- County and City Commissioners
- County and City Managers
- Landowners and property stakeholders
By bringing the right partners to the table, communities can better align priorities, accelerate site readiness, and position themselves for future investment. We encourage you to mark your calendars, identify who from your community should attend and register today.
We look forward to working together to strengthen site readiness across Rural Florida.
