Workforce & Industrial Development

Located in Citrus County, Inverness Highlands North is strategically positioned within Florida’s rapidly growing Nature Coast region. This area has become increasingly attractive for industrial and logistics operations due to its access to major highways, including US-41 and State Road 44, which connect businesses to Tampa, Orlando, and the broader Central Florida market.

Recent years have seen a surge in interest from manufacturers and distributors seeking cost-effective alternatives to larger metro areas. The nearby Inverness Airport Industrial Park offers shovel-ready sites, modern infrastructure, and proximity to both air and ground freight options, making it a practical choice for expanding operations.

Citrus County’s Office of Economic Development actively supports business relocation and expansion, providing tailored assistance and guidance through permitting, site selection, and incentive applications. Florida’s robust incentive programs, such as the Qualified Target Industry Tax Refund and workforce training grants, further enhance the region’s competitiveness.

Local workforce development is a priority, with CareerSource Citrus Levy Marion delivering customized training and recruitment services. These partnerships ensure employers have access to skilled labor across manufacturing, distribution, and logistics sectors, supporting long-term business growth in Inverness Highlands North.
