Governor Rick Scott announced that ADP® will locate new offices in Orange County and create 1,600 new jobs. ADP is one of the many companies Governor Scott met with during his domestic trade mission to New York last spring. The new office opening will create 500 positions within the next six months and the company will invest more than $28 million in the local community.
Governor Scott said, “I am proud to announce today that ADP will be expanding in Orange County and creating 1,600 new jobs for families. While this global company could have chosen to invest in any other location, they ultimately decided that Florida was the best place for their business to grow. I look forward to ADP’s continued success in our state.”

Cissy Proctor, Executive Director of the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity, said, “Central Florida’s rapidly growing technology sector is an attractive asset for companies like ADP. The company’s new location will provide 1,600 new jobs for Floridians and help encourage additional investment in the community and across the state.”
Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs said, “We are thrilled to hear that ADP is opening a new office to Orange County. With our world class business environment, access to global markets, and thriving business services cluster, Orange County is a perfect fit. ADP’s decision to open a new office within our community speaks to the strength of our business assets and economic climate.”
City of Maitland Mayor Dale McDonald said, “Because of ADP’s high profile, the number of new jobs being created in Maitland and the value-added impact on the City and region, the Maitland City Council supports this project and is pleased to welcome ADP to the City of Maitland.”
David Fuller, chair of the Orlando EDC, said, “It is certainly a great day when we can welcome a company like ADP and celebrate all of the benefits that come with their growth – new jobs, better opportunities, and positive economic development for our community.”
Holly Wiedman, Orlando EDC executive vice president, said, “The addition of ADP to the region expands the list of industry leaders who have chosen Orlando because they have discovered what we all know – this is an incredible place for a business to thrive and prosper because of our skilled and abundant workforce. I am proud of the hard work done by the EDC and all of our partners as we worked together to successfully recruit ADP to our great region.”
Pamela Nabors, CareerSource Central Florida President and CEO, said, “ADP is a game-changer for Central Florida. While our EDC team continues to attract high-impact companies to our community, this project elevates us to another level. It’s always a win when a company commits to move – or expand – to our community and actively engages education partners, prioritizes the hiring of veterans, and becomes a premier employer in the region. CareerSource Central Florida is proud to partner in this endeavor and assist them in finding and hiring local talent. This is a great day for Central Florida.”
Alex Glenn, Duke Energy Florida state president, said, “ADP’s exciting announcement will mean new job opportunities this year and well into the future for the communities we serve. This win is a perfect example of the importance economic development plays in everyone’s life and the success that comes from community partners working together to attract new businesses to the region.
