Quarterly Report
April, May, June 2021

|
As the world starts to return back to normal we're getting ready to spread our wings. Whether you're traveling to Boca Raton for business or pleasure, we welcome you to take a deeper look at our beautiful city and all it has to offer. One thing we've learned through COVID is we can work from anywhere. Why not choose paradise and keep more money in your wallet?
Although this year has been anything but "business as usual" we're beginning to see glimpses of normal life return and some very exciting things have been happening. In this quarterly report, we'll share some of the victories and help spread the good word of our local companies.
As a reminder, the Office of Economic Development is here to assist Boca’s corporate community. With 13,000 businesses and 123,000 employees in our City we continue to work to provide resources and support as needed.
If there's more we can, or should be doing to assist your company, please reach out to us at EconomicDevelopment@MyBoca.us.
