Featured Partner: OneLink
TGITH! That has a funny ring to it, if you say it allowed. The great thing about Thursdays is Friday comes next. For the 1st day of February we are featuring our new monthly partner, OneLink for Everything. Their team designed our new digital cards! Plus, for all the Stat and Data Geeks out there, here’s what we got for TLH Stat Thursdays. Did you know that FSU’s President is active on LinkedIn? Give President McCullough a follow to catch all the insightful stats he shares, including a recent one (scroll down). Or, you can count on us to reshare if it positively impacts our region. 😉

ECONOMIC IMPACT
COWORKING

🏢 As coworking spaces and work from home rises, an important Tallahassee tax base is shrinking. The Tallahassee Leon County Office of Economic Vitality shows the office vacancy rate in Tallahassee is currently lower than the year before the pandemic.
In 2019, the vacancy rate was 6.1% in 2023 it was 5%.
There was a decrease in the number of “office buildings” with 2078 in 2022 compared to 2059 in 2023.
Although the coworking spaces represent less of a physical footprint they are still contributing to both the tax base and the economy.
Domi Station is a popular co-working space serving both Downtown and College Town. Post-pandemic the draw of remote work both popularized coworking spaces and changed the people Domi serves.

Bill limiting certain minors access to social media passes through Florida House.📱
Committee Substitute / House Bill 1 (2024) - Social Media Use for Minors bill was passed by the Florida House; it will now need the Senate's approval to reach the Governor's desk.
The bill would require reasonable age verification methods to verify ages of account holders and requires social media platforms to prohibit minors from creating new accounts.
The bill would restrict minors under 16 from accessing social media and terminate existing accounts. Lawmakers carrying the bill say the goal is to limit the impact of addictive features.
