Employment Sites Program
Pinellas County is deeply committed to helping companies expand and grow and provides tools like the Employment Sites Program and others to help drive investment and lay the foundation for the jobs of the future.
Pinellas County’s $90+ Million Employment Sites Program
Pinellas County instituted the Employment Sites Program (ESP) through the fourth iteration of Penny for Pinellas. This is the first time that funds from this revenue source have been associated with economic development initiatives. A total of 4.15% of the net proceeds of the Penny for Pinellas funds are dedicated to countywide investments in Economic Development Capital Projects. Over ten years it is anticipated that approximately $93 Million will be available.
