Diversified growth is the hallmark of Orange County

Orange County is the region's most populous county and includes the City of Orlando, as well as twelve other incorporated cities. The county sits in the approximate center of the state, midway between Jacksonville and Miami. The St. Petersburg-Tampa area on the Gulf of Mexico and Daytona Beach on the Atlantic Ocean are easy drives. Two of the state's major highways, Interstate 4 (east-west) and the Florida Turnpike (north-south), intersect just outside Orlando.

Few places in the nation have experienced the quality growth found in Orange County, which is anticipated to gain more jobs than any other county in Florida through 2010. Much of this explosion has come in the high tech sector. Orange County is home to the fifth largest research university in the nation, one of the top ten research parks in the country, one of only two National Entrepreneur Centers, a world-class international airport and an all new UCF College of Medicine, scheduled to open in 2009.

The county government guarantees fast-track permitting and actively seeks new contract vendors. For information about doing business with Orange County Government, click here.
