It seems like the new year just started and it’s March already! When you think of March you might think of NCAA Basketball’s March Madness, a Spring Break vacation, or flowers blooming. Whatever you think about, Spring is here and things will start to get a little “mad” around here too with people, including visitors, starting to make trips to the beach, their favorite fishing hole or to a local business to get that yard, pool or house ready for the summer. Whatever the reason, Wakulla businesses are gearing up for a busy time of the year!
So, the flowers aren’t the only things blooming - Business is blooming as well! That is evident from the housing permits being issued, the numerous “brick and mortar” new business construction and the new business start-ups we are seeing every day. While growth does create its challenges (such as traffic), it also brings improvements to our everyday life through more local employment opportunities, increased wages, a competitive marketplace and more options for the consumer. It also helps keeps taxes local.
The Chamber of Commerce is also blooming with new members as well! In January there were 13 new members: Blackwater Systems Integrators LLC; Blessed at Hands Boutique; Crystal Clean Maid Service LLC; Guardian Public Adjusting LLC; JPM Major Appliance & A/C; North Florida Learning Center; Posey’s Steam Room & Oyster Bar; Rapid Press Inc.; Shell Point Marine & Powersports; Wakulla County Public Library; Wakulla County Youth Baseball Assoc.; Wakulla Kiwanis Club and Wakulla Teen Center!
Despite a short month, in February there were 14 new members: Attack-One Fire Management Services, Inc.; BizCo Rentals; Blackfoot Roofing; Good Times for Rent of Wakulla; HCA Florida Capital Primary Care; J&K Rocks; Jimmy John’s; Salvation Army Tallahassee Corps; Sue’s Art Workshop; The Wakulla Sun; VOLLEYiQ; Wakulla Ducks Unlimited; Wakulla County Girls Softball Assoc.; and Williamson Outfitters LLC!
