Florida TaxWatch: Panhandle Poised for Economic Growth

Florida TaxWatch released a study on Thursday looking at the Panhandles economy and how that part of the Sunshine State is poised for future growth.

"Florida is experiencing increased investment in all regions of the state, and as new companies develop and existing companies grow, they are recognizing the value and available resources of the Florida Panhandle," said Dominic Calabro, the president and CEO of Florida TaxWatch.

"TaxWatch research shows that in addition to expansion of the manufacturing and trade, transportation, and utilities sectors, increased investment in tourism marketing by Visit Florida is helping the Florida Panhandle to bolster its number of annual visitors," said Jerry Parrish, Florida TaxWatchs chief economist.
