Tallahassee Chamber’s Annual Breakfast Meeting continues to push job creation as a top priority for Tallahassee's economy. 📈
Tallahassee is expected to attract 18,000 more residents by 2030. Population increase necessitates a need for at least 9,500 new jobs to remain competitive.
In 2023, Amazon opened its robotic fulfillment center off Mahan Drive and created more than 1,300 jobs. JetBlue recently launched its new direct flight route from Tallahassee to Fort Lauderdale.
Chamber President and CEO Sue Dick said this is the year of "opportunity and recognition of what the community has to offer." She said now is the time to capitalize on the momentum and act with a sense of urgency in promoting Tallahassee as an attractive city for businesses to grow and relocate.

It has since grown into a comprehensive effort supported by the Office of the Provost aimed at equipping FAMU students with the skills, knowledge and resources necessary to thrive in the digital era.
