Last night, a no name storm hit Tallahassee hard. There were reports of power outages, flooded vehicles and homes in the southwest. There were also random spots of flooding around Midtown, Centerville Rd. and along Thomasville Road. That was 1 of many firsts, including Leon County Schools to push back drop off by a full hour. Talk about a rough start to the day, but the forecast looks more promising for the weekend.

The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) released the latest Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and jobs data for the Arts and Cultural Production Satellite Account (ACPSA). The data measures 2022 economic activity, which shows how industries were recovering post COVID-19 pandemic. | American for the Arts Action Fund
Nationally, GDP for the arts and culture nonprofit and commercial sector now tops $1.102 trillion with over 5.2 million jobs!
Additionally, America's arts and culture exports increased the trade surplus from $15.5 billion to $21 billion. The arts and culture sector represents a full 4.31% of the nation's GDP.
Customized GDP information for each state’s arts and culture sector is also now available. The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis reports that arts and cultural production accounts for $45,361,134,000 and 3.15% of the Florida economy, contributing 268,712 jobs.
According to the NEA, "The overall arts economy grew by 4.8% in inflation-adjusted dollars between 2021 and 2022, a rate increase far surpassing that for the entire U.S. economy during the same time period.”

It’s official: Tallahassee Community College to become Tallahassee State College after Gov. Ron DeSantis agreed to the name change. The name change is effective July 1st. | Tal Dem
The signing comes after the bill (SB 522) was passed by lawmakers and presented to DeSantis March 19th following the 2024 legislative session’s end.
The name means TCC will now be branded as a state college, falling in line with most of the other colleges in the Florida College System.
It will mark the college’s second renaming in history after it was changed from Tallahassee Junior College to TCC in 1970. A new logo is also underway after the college has already had at least five different logos throughout history.
