Florence County Economic Development Commission

About:

Are you sick of the traffic, crime, hassle and noise of big city life? Would you like to leave your office and in minutes be fishing for trout on a “Wild River”, hunting for big bucks on 200,000 acres of public forests, or sitting on your dock with drink in hand?
Florence County offers an industrial park with low cost land, hard-working rural employees, TIF district incentives underway, municipal utility with low rates, excellent broadband coverage and a growing visitor population.
