Inclusive Growth

CenterState CEO believes equitable economic growth leads to long-term community prosperity. The Inclusive Growth team seeks to build a globally competitive regional economy while maintaining an unwavering commitment to economic inclusion in the community. It does this by attracting investment, building wealth and creating family-sustaining jobs while ensuring that individuals from historically marginalized communities are participating in every aspect of the economy.

This work includes a focus on:

  • Start, attract and grow great companies, prioritizing those that make the region more equitable and globally competitive.
  • Develop and drive workforce solutions that help businesses thrive and all people prosper, prioritizing underrepresented and/or un-and underemployed individuals.
  • Catalyze equitable and sustainable development in strategic places, prioritizing neighborhoods and sites that have been historically subjected to disinvestment.
