Message from the Director

The vision of the County’s economic development office is to promote a vibrant economy by attracting and supporting businesses, as charged by the County Commission. The mission of our office is to stimulate overall economic development with a special focus on small business growth as demonstrated by our day to day activities. These activities create opportunities that support the quality of life and prosperity of our residents, businesses, tourists and seasonal residents. This report demonstrates our ability to fulfill those objectives. At OESBD, we not only want to meet expectations, but rather we strive to intentionally work with our businesses and community partners to supersede, expand, and surpass these opportunities. This is indeed our premise for doing business and growing business, Broward and Beyond!

Mission To stimulate economic development by attracting, retaining and expanding targeted industries, including a special focus on small business growth, and thereby, enhance the quality of life for Broward County residents and visitors.

Broward County Commissioners (FY2019)

L to R: Commissioners Michael Udine, Nan H. Rich, Tim Ryan, Barbara Sharief,Steve Geller, Chip Lamarca, and Dale V.C. Holness. L to R (Seated): Vice Mayor Mark D. Bogen and Mayor Beam Furr.
