With over one million residents, the six-county Northeast Florida region features continuous growth, endless opportunities, and a superior quality of life. As more people are discovering, we're "on the grow" with something for everyone. Whether you prefer the excitement of a bustling downtown or the serenity of our rural areas, you'll find what you're looking for in Northeast Florida. That's why Jacksonville is the "best kept secret" in the Southeast.

Jacksonville is not only an NFL expansion city; it's an expanding business city. The city and its five surrounding counties make up the area called Florida's First Coast, so named because it is located on the Atlantic Coast in the northeast corner of Florida, and was the first coast of Florida to be settled by Europeans.

The metropolitan area is now the 46th largest in the U.S. and has a total population of more than 1.1 million. The population is significantly younger than all other major Florida cities, with a median age under 35.3 years old.

Jacksonville's deep-water port gives access to all global markets. The combination of three major interstate highways, the port terminals, three major railways, and Jacksonville International Airport has made the area a major distribution center and a city of growing international commerce.

Jacksonville is a city of today and the future. Companies from around the globe have discovered that it is not only a superior place to live and play; it is a superior place for business.
