Presentations will be given to local organizations
A survey will be introduced shortly to gain citizen input
A series of community participation sessions will take place between now and June of 2013

Annual Meeting

On March 19, 2013, we will hold our first Annual Meeting! You are invited to attend as we celebrate our first birthday.

It's hard to believe that it's been a little over one year since the North Port Economic Development Corporation was formed. Some pretty aggressive programs that have been initiated in this short time including

The launch of the OPPORTUNITY ACQUISITION PROGRAM
The recent public announcement of the five exciting ACTION VISIONS that combined could conservatively generate over $270 million in new construction and create over 1,700 new jobs in North Port
Our successful community discussion
And the growth of our all volunteer Board of Directors, Advisory Board and our members who share our vision with us.

We are excited about what we have accomplished and even more excited about the future we see for North Port.

Please join us March 19th as we recognize the accomplishments of the NEPDC and it's volunteers. Be sure to CLICK HERE to register and be part of North Port's future!
