In addition to being the world's leading vacation destination, the community is a premier business location and home to major corporations, including Lockheed Martin, American Automobile Association, Bank One, Tupperware and Oracle Corporation, among many others. Consider the following:

	We're Growing ... Metro Orlando is at or near the top of the charts in a number of critical categories, including population and workforce growth. The fact is, no region across the nation is growing faster, and that is not expected to change well into the 21st century.
	We're Affordable ... The commercial and housing markets are red hot, not only in terms of quantity, but in quality and affordability as well. Imagine being able to build or lease brand new office or industrial property at a fraction of big-city prices, or finding the home of your dreams for far less than the national average price.
	We're Well-Educated ... A thriving educational environment is evidenced by achievements in the classroom and in partnership with the business community. Our designation as the National Center of Simulation, internationally renowned research in laser and optics, and unique microelectronics technology training programs, highlight these partnerships.
	We're Pro-Business ... Local companies benefit from myriad tax advantages, such as low corporate rates and no state personal income tax. Well known for their pro-business attitude, local and state governments are eager to help through expeditious permitting and efficient development reviews.
	We're Progressive ... Metro Orlando is a state-of-the-art purveyor of communications services in a highly competitive market. Mass media, telephone and datacom providers each exhibit prowess that is difficult to match. The same applies for utilities, which keep an especially close eye on costs and efficiency.
	We're Accessible ... Bolstered by a central global location, the nation's fastest growing major international airport and abundant nearby waterways, moving people and products into and out of the region is swift, whether by land, air or sea. Light speed rail also is on the horizon.
	We're Home ... Metro Orlando is a great place to live and to work. The climate is just right, with everything from arts and culture to shopping, sports, exceptional healthcare and year-round recreation. Major employers find that they can attract and retain the best and brightest to the area.
