3 Executive Summary Hernando County desires to improve its economy which will offer additional opportunities and prosperity to all citizens. This will be accomplished in a manner which does not degrade our high quality of life or community standards. By employing a coordinated and comprehensive strategy to accomplish this, the County can achieve the desired results through proven and established methods. In this plan are four principle areas for improving Hernando s economy: 1. High-wage business retention and recruitment 2. Educational attainment and educational resources 3. Workforce housing 4. Planning for business by City/County Government to include: a) Zoning b) Infrastructure c) Permitting d) Incentives e) Comprehensive planning f) Elected leadership g) Community support 3
4 Our History and Legacy Industries Hernando s business history is largely comprised of industries typical of a rural community with our attributes. As the County has grown and land values have increased, many of these industries have diminished. They are certainly noteworthy since much of our heritage can be attributed to these examples of our historical industries: Mining (remains a substantial portion of our industrial tax base) Cement Manufacturing remains a large industry in the County, one plant expansion currently underway will result in an additional $150m capital investment and significant job creation. Aggregate and crushed limestone products Timber-lumber Agriculture Citrus Cattle Crops 4

11 Florida s Population Center The population center moved through Hernando County in the 1940 s and with the population growth in central and north Florida the center has now started to move northward since the 1990 s. It remains close to Hernando County. This is an important business site selection consideration. Source: BEBR- University of Florida 11
12 Where in Hernando County Will the Economic Development Occur? The areas listed below and depicted on the following map are the projected centers for industrial growth in the County. 1. The Hernando County Airport and the surrounding Airport Planned Development District, consists of private and public land which is designated for business uses. 2. The Brooksville area to include areas within and around the current city limits. 3. The mining properties north and west of Brooksville when redevelopment occurs. 4. The Suncoast Parkway corridor 5. The I-75 and SR50 corridor 6. The SR50 and Hwy 301 area 12

14 Florida Economic Outlook By understanding and reviewing the economic outlook for Florida, we will be better able to understand and predict trends that will influence our local economy and the key elements of the Economic Improvement Plan: 2006 Stronger 1 st half, weaker 2 nd half Employment growth driving consumption higher, but slowing Housing slowdown, higher interest rates and energy prices sap consumer spending in 2 nd half 2007 Considerably weaker Higher interest rates and oil prices Weaker dollar/ higher inflation 2008 Recovery and Strong Growth 2009 Lower interest rates stimulate growth Source: Fishkind and Associates, Economic Outlook
15 Market Trends for Business Attraction Tampa Bay Area Relocations The Tampa Bay Area has grown extensively over the past several years and large counties like Pinellas and Hillsborough have endured well but are now feeling the pains of expensive real estate, a lack of available land and redevelopment costs. This will continue to provide Hernando County with opportunities to capture businesses that desire a lower cost-of-doing business location, particularly as it relates to those seeking sites with roomto-grow. Hernando is a viable local option before looking outside the region or the state. State of Florida Relocations As with the Tampa Bay Area, several areas of the state have reached a point where the real estate costs far outweigh the benefits of the large metro area. Metropolitan areas like Jacksonville, Orlando and Miami have experienced businesses leaving for a more price competitive home base. Hernando County has the opportunity to capture this growth. 15
16 Market Trends Existing Business Growth/Expansion Hernando County can benefit from the successes of our existing businesses. Maximizing the growth potential of our existing businesses provides a builtin growth factor. The trend, based on business owners input, is growth through new contracts as well as growth in their existing customer base. Additionally, many County businesses are looking to the international market to provide new opportunities. Hernando County is very fortunate to have a talented and capable group of business owners and employees which has translated into significant internal growth in our manufacturing sector. Relocation from Outside the State As companies grow and look for new markets to penetrate, Florida is very often on the short list. Hernando County can realize the benefit of Florida as a cost effective business destination. The historical trend for manufacturing relocations has been from the north to the south and this type of relocation has occurred in Hernando. 16
17 Florida Legislative Climate The Florida Legislature passed significant economic development and probusiness legislation in 2006 which will provide near term and long term benefit. This includes: Sales Tax Exemption on Manufacturing Machinery and Equipment Sales Tax Exemption on Research and Development Equipment Liability Reform (Joint and several liability was repealed) 2006 State Funding for economic development: Innovation Incentive Fund $200,000,000 Quick Action Closing Fund $45,000,000 Road Fund $10,000,000 Economic Development Tools $26,381,250 Enterprise Florida $12,500,000 Space $42,000,000 Military Base Protection $3,400,000 Defense Reinvestment $1,000,000 Defense Infrastructure $3,000,000 Rural Infrastructure $2,700,000 Film and Entertainment $20,753,000 17
18 Manufacturing Industry Why Does Manufacturing Matter? Given the movement of manufacturing jobs overseas and the very healthy growth in high-wage jobs in Florida s construction, professional and business services, and education and health services industries, does growth in manufacturing jobs really matter? The answer is YES and the reason is wages and salaries. Manufacturing has traditionally been one of the higher-paying major industries in the state. In 2004, manufacturing ranked fourth among Florida s 11 super sectors, with an annual average wage of $42,464 as compared to $35,159 for all industries. Factory jobs create many other jobs in other industries, and a combination of jobs in engineering consulting firms, manufacturing, transportation, and suppliers is a good mix for any Florida community.

19 Section I High Wage Retention and Recruitment: Manufacturing Is Important to Hernando Manufacturing and related primary industries provide an excellent base of employers in Hernando County. These businesses are important to our local economy because they: Typically provide higher quality jobs with benefits Are jobs that are not driven by our local economy Helps to diversify our tax base Increase opportunities for our citizens to work here (we export over 25,000 people to the metropolitan area each day) Provide a net gain to our local economy and all businesses by increasing the money in our local economy 19
20 What Is Currently Manufactured Here? Data and power cabling Pharmaceuticals Circuit boards Plastic injection molded products Food products Medical products Electronic components and assemblies 20
21 What Industries Are Coming? Wireless communication chips Building products Aluminum fencing Medical products Assembly Equipment manufacturers Distribution firms 21
22 What is important to industry? 1. Highway accessibility Labor costs Energy availability and costs Availability of skilled labor Occupancy or construction costs Available land Corporate tax rate State and local incentives Environmental regulations Tax Exemptions T. Proximity to markets Availability of advanced ICT services Low union profile Availability of buildings Right-to-work state Proximity to suppliers 71.8 * Source Area Development Magazine, All figures are percentages and are the total of "very important" and "important" ratings of the Area Development Corporate Survey and are rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent. 22
23 What is important to industry? I. Business and Operating Conditions Access (customers, suppliers, connectivity) Work force (availability, capability, scalability, sustainability, livability) Utility infrastructure (power, fuel, water/sewer, telecom) Transportation infrastructure (roads, air, rail, port) Regulatory/permitting environment Business/support services and amenities II. Geographically Variable Costs Work force (wages/salaries, benefits) Taxes (income, ad valorem, sales, customs/duties, fees) Real estate (land/sites, buildings, lease) Utilities Logistics Incentives (variable cost offsets) Inflation III. Real Estate/Site Availability Fit Expandability Flexibility Access Supporting infrastructure Terms Timing IV. Risks Natural disaster Political Social/safety Economic and currency Regulatory Timing However, it is important to keep in mind that the specific number of factors and their rank order within the checklist will vary greatly by function and industry. For example, there will typically be significantly more issues of importance on the checklist of a complex manufacturing plant location project relative to that of a back-office function. * Source Area Development Magazine, All figures are percentages and are the total of "very important" and "important" ratings of the Area Development Corporate Survey and are rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent. 23

25 Section II Education Education in primary, secondary and post-secondary institutions plays a key role in the viability of a local economy. Providing students in the primary and secondary grade levels with appropriate education and guidance for career choices will offer the county employers a prepared workforce. Students must have access to the necessary information to make informed decisions about their futures. It is imperative for local government, educational institutions and business owners work together to ensure all needs are being met. Educational attainment is a critical decision making factor as businesses choose to relocate or expand. Additionally, the demand for increasingly skilled workers has created an increased need for technical and skills enhancement training. By encouraging students to achieve a higher education level, the overall income of the Hernando workforce will be increased. This will be realized through the higher earnings potential of the students entering the workforce. The following graphic, prepared using statistics from The University of South Florida, Pasco-Hernando Community College and other sources, depicts average earnings based upon educational attainment. 25

29 Hernando County Educational Attainment Statistics On the following slide Hernando s Educational Attainment statistics are shown compared to the State average and National average. From this we can conclude: The average age is moderately higher than both the state and national average. The percentage of residents with less than a 9 th grade education approximates the state and national average. The percentage of residents with a 9 th -12 th grade education, without a diploma is approximately 33% higher than the state and national average. The percentage of residents with a high school diploma is 24% higher than the state and national average. The percentage of residents with some college approximates the state and national average. The percentage of residents with a A.A. college degree is marginally below the state and national average. The percentage of residents with a B.A. degree is 56% and 53% of the Florida and National averages, respectively. The County trails the state and national average considerably in graduate degrees. 29

31 Importance of Education Primary & Secondary Schooling It is important to reach the students as they are going through school and to help them determine their goals after graduation; whether they be traditional post-secondary education, trade school, or direct entry into the workforce. Working with and connecting the school career counselors, students, colleges and business owners will ensure all opportunities are presented and expectations are met. Post Secondary Education (Colleges or Trade Schools) Working relationships with nearby post-secondary educational institutions are key to understanding the upcoming workforce. It is imperative that the programs offered by these colleges meet the needs of the business community. Continuing Education Provide opportunities for employers to invest in their business through the continued education of their employees. Keeping staff on the cutting edge of the latest technologies, brushing up on skills, offering advancement opportunities, etc. strengthens the workforce, builds loyalty, increases wages and makes a business more successful. PHCC has implemented a significant number of customized training and online continuing education programs which are very beneficial to our business community. 31
32 Section III Workforce Housing The affordability of housing is crucial to businesses and our citizens. The absence of suitably priced housing can create difficulty in attracting and retaining employees who simply cannot afford to live in the community where they work. The State of Florida, particularly in the more urban areas, is experiencing a crisis with workforce housing. On a daily basis, news stories are written about this issue as it effects the ability of government and business to attract and retain employees. Based on an analysis of housing costs compared to average income and wage levels, an affordability calculation can be made. While Hernando compares favorably, relatively speaking, in this area the trend is unfavorable driven largely by increased land, development and construction costs with a favorable market place. This is a County, Regional and State issue. (Insert additional input from Housing Authority) 32

Generally, the new housing market has moved towards larger homes due to market forces and the increased cost of land. Chart Source: Hernando County Property Appraiser 33

36 Section IV County Business Planning The following pages provide County data detailing taxes, resources, finances and other analysis. As the moves forward it will be important for all local government entities to work together toward the common goal. Capital spending on infrastructure (roads, water, sewer) to business and commercial areas will be a key element in this section. A portion of this funding could be attained through economic development grants. 36
37 Hernando County Tax Base The should encourage additional commercial and industrial development. One of the keys to improving the local economy is to diversify the tax base ensuring that the burden to support county provided services is not placed disproportionately upon the businesses or residents. Businesses use less government services and generate greater tax dollars. Industrial businesses require approximately $.37 in government services for each tax dollar generated. 1 Homes require approximately $1.53 in government services for each tax dollar generated. 1 The following charts depict the current distribution of taxes and increasing burden placed on the business owner. Currently the industrial/commercial businesses account for about 24% of the tax base while 73% of the the tax base is residential. It shows that as a percentage of market value, the business classification (s) pay the highest percentages. The residential and agricultural properties pay a reduced percentage rate due to the homestead exemption/save our homes and green belt exemption programs, respectively. 1 Tishler and Associates Cost of Service Study-Sarasota County, February,

40 SWOT Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities & Threats The SWOT analysis covers strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Strengths and weaknesses are generally internal attributes, which we can address by changing our business. Opportunities and threats are generally external. 40
41 County Strengths Abundant workforce Abundant natural resources (water) Available land and building sites Attractive land and building costs Competitive development costs Efficient local highway system Good interconnections to the interstate and the Suncoast Parkway Attractive utility costs Low comparative cost of living High population growth Cohesive business community Strategic location- geographic center of Florida Stable tax millage rate Pasco-Hernando Community College Proximity to an emerging metropolitan area Competitive incentives including taxexempt bonds for manufacturing Diversified local industry base High industrial building occupancy rates High quality of living Significant amount of land designated for conservation Private economic group for incentives and assistance Brooksville/Hernando County Enterprise Zone Nature Coast Technical High School 41
42 County Weaknesses Workforce quality Not known as a business center Rapid residential development pressures on business land availability Lack of a private industrial and professional park developers The Airport is one of few sites that are ready-to-build Limited business sites that are available for sale Perceived as out there from Tampa Bay Budget and funding limitations Lack of class A office buildings and space Low educational attainment rates in certain segments Lack of adult technical education programs Lack of a four year university presence (important note: new partnerships with PHCC and International College, USF- St. Pete and St Leo are developing) High industrial building occupancy rates Less than 2% of current land use is in the industrial category Lack of back office facilities and sites 42
43 County Opportunities Promote with statistics the abundant Hernando workforce and strive to create and provide real-time information on the County websites relative to business Continue to market Brooksville/Hernando as a business location Identify and recruit successful business park developers to invest in Hernando Continue cultivating a business identity Develop collateral materials to assist our educators to encourage at-risk students to remain in school and graduate Incorporate long range plans for business needs in the comprehensive plan and the capital improvement plans (CIP). Encourage the educational system to maintain a close relationship with the business community Promote continuing education opportunities Employers are starting to chase the workforce which is favorable for Hernando Partner with the educational system to promote career opportunities and the importance of educational attainment to our students Include in our utility and services planning a priority for services to areas with business potential Continue to utilize the Internet as a significant marketing tool 43
44 County Threats Increasingly competitive market for valued industry, there are about 7,000 economic development agencies nationwide. Land use: As seen in other counties with high growth, the potential exists for industrial and office professional sites to be converted to other uses such as residential or multi-family. Insufficient business park development Unidentified funding sources for most of the long-range County Capital Improvement Plan Land pricing Increasing permitting timelines Increasing building code requirements and development regulations Insurance pricing and availability Educational funding for teacher salaries (Hernando ranks 66 out of 67 in teacher salaries in FL) Balance of industrial and commercial growth versus residential development Workforce housing affordability and availability Citizen support for a comprehensive Economic Improvement Program 44
45 Financial Plan and Resources Historical spending for the department is: FY2006A- $279,566 FY2007B- $287,726 FY2008B- $308,893 FY2009B- $279,614 * Budget includes QTI incentive contracts 45
46 Related Professional Organizations To accomplish the economic improvement goal, Hernando County will be able to collaborate, leverage and partner with many important organizations. These relationships will bring leads, contacts, and educational opportunities to Hernando County. This includes: Tampa Bay Partnership Enterprise Florida, Inc. Manufacturer s Association of Florida (MAF) Greater Hernando County Chamber of Commerce: Business Assistance & Education Committees Hernando County School Board Post Secondary Educational Institutions: Pasco-Hernando Community College, University of South Florida, Withlacoochee Technical Institute Hernando Progress Pasco Hernando Jobs & Education Partnership/ Career Central Tech Prep, Educators in the Workplace Hernando County Business Advisory Council Service Corp of Retired Executives (SCORE) Enterprise Zone Development Agency Progress Energy and Withlacoochee River Electric Hernando County Manufacturer s Association Nature Coast Human Resources Society 46
47 Conclusions The Hernando County must be a concerted effort among several entities both in and out of county government.
