About Volusia County Economic Development

Volusia County has a strong and growing economy and is home to over 15,000 enterprises that produce or provide a variety of goods and services. Our companies transact business locally and globally, contributing annually to the $20 billion GDP generated within Volusia County. They enrich our communities by providing employment for thousands and by attracting visitors, revenue streams and new professional talent to the area.

One facet of a growing local economy is the attraction of new companies. Team Volusia EDC, our countywide economic development public/private partnership, is working to achieve that end. We also believe that incremental growth in the base of businesses that are already here is where sustainable economic success will be found. So, while continuing to support endeavors focused on recruiting new business, Volusia County’s Economic Development Division trains its eye on starting, growing and retaining businesses locally.

As part of our overall mission, we provide assistance at no cost to businesses with the desire and potential for growth within Volusia County. Volusia County Economic Development can help start-ups, second-stage and maturing businesses directly or refer owners to other qualified organizations.

We are pleased to work with professional economic development practitioners in our communities who are committed to changing the local quality of life for the better. Together we are focused on creating higher value, higher wage jobs for those who seek employment in Volusia County.
