Local Manufacturers
The Chamber's economic development office works closely with our local manufacturers and other key employers, providing information and offering programs that encourage them to grow their production capabilities and increase job creation opportunities for local residents.
Florida manufacturers are eligible for a number of state sales tax exemptions, including:
- on the purchase of new equipment/machinery
- electricity used in production
- equipment used in research and development
- repair and labor charges
- pollution control equipment
