Franklin
County has been re-designated as a Rural Area of Opportunity.
The
designation was created in 1999, by an act of the Florida Legislature
under then Governor Jeb Bush.
The
northwest Florida region is one of 3 areas designated by the
Governor; designated areas are given greater access to
the state’s economic development incentive programs.
It’s
designed to bring more businesses to the area by directing more state
grant money here and providing waivers that allows counties in our
area to apply for money they may not normally have access to.
Rural
areas of opportunity must
be re-evaluated every five years.
