Palm Beach County, FL – Day Pitney LLP has partnered with the Business Development Board (BDB) of Palm Beach County in honor of Economic Development Week in Palm Beach County, which runs February 11-15. The purpose of this first-time initiative is to promote the importance of economic development for Florida communities and to deepen the understanding and appreciation of the work and value of economic, workforce and community developers' contributions to Florida's business climate, job retention and growth, tax base and overall quality of life.
In collaboration with city, county and state partners, the BDB works to leverage the county's assets by promoting the expansion of existing businesses and attracting new ones to the area. The BDB also receives support from hundreds of local companies, including Day Pitney, that invest in Palm Beach County's economy through the BDB's economic development efforts, because they all have one powerful shared vision of the future. These combined efforts contribute to the prosperity of the county by providing quality jobs for our citizens, fostering economic growth and delivering a vibrant community that is a premier business destination.
