Strategic Partnerships The EDC actively seeks to connect local and private sector employers, offering incentives assistance and networking opportunities. This presents a sales opportunity to introduce complementary services such as recruitment, incentives advisory, site selection support, or manufacturing upgrades aligned with their mission to retain, expand, and recruit employers.

Manufacturing Investment Recent press signals a $16M manufacturing facility investment by Harrod and Gary Plastics, highlighting ongoing expansion in Haines City. This suggests demand for facilities development, equipment financing, supply chain services, and local vendor partnerships that a sales team can target.

Public-Private Operations are framed as a public/private not-for-profit organization with a focus on economic prosperity. This environment may favor solutions that support governance, grant programs, incentive management, and regulatory-compliant growth initiatives suitable for EDC-led projects.

Leadership Access Leadership includes President Cyndi Jantomaso and newly appointed Executive Level Partner Stephen Whitley. Engaging these decision-makers offers a direct path for presenting strategic initiatives, workforce development programs, and high-value partnerships.

Tech & Visibility Current tech stack includes cloud and web optimization tools plus marketing integrations. Opportunities exist to offer digital transformation services, website optimization, analytics, and marketing automation to enhance outreach, lead generation, and stakeholder communications for the EDC and its member partners.
