A skilled workforce is here and ready to get to work
We have one of the largest concentrations of military retirees in the nation
We have over 34,000 military retirees in the 325 zip code. Access to one of the highest concentrations of skilled, highly-trained, and ready-to-work populations in the country is a competitive advantage. Spouses and dependents of active-duty military personnel from the local military presence also contribute to our growing labor force.
Wages are competitive and incentive levels are easy to reach
The average wage for Santa Rosa County is $19.46 per hour. For a facility to qualify for incentives, the average employee wage needs to be only $22.38, compared to a state-wide average of $30.64. Our pro-business climate is rich with incentives that offer bottom-line advantages for long-term profitability. We’re more affordable than states like California, New York, and Michigan when it comes to land and labor.
