ECONOMIC IC DEVELOPt1CNT CORPOR 1TIC N
Team Volusia Economic Development Corporation("TVEDC")is a public-private partnership representing Volusia County
and its 16 cities which comprise the Deltona-Daytona Beach-Ormond Beach metropolitan statistical area. The formation of
Team Volusia is evidence of a community-wide,collaborative effort to diversify the local economy and ensure economic
prosperity for its residents.
TVEDC is funded by the County of Volusia,10 municipalities,52 private-sector businesses,five higher education institutions,
and Volusia County Public Schools.
In 2013,TVEDC transitioned into a sales and marketing organization with a focus on meeting face-to-face with national and
global site selection consultants and business owners to raise the awareness of Volusia County as a premier business
destination.
• Recruitment and Business Development
o Meet face-to-face with business owners and C-suite executives interested in relocation and/or expansion;
o Meet with and foster relationships with national and global site selection consultants,developers and
brokers who are hired to assist companies with relocation/expansion projects;
o Participate on international recruitment and consultant missions to attract trade and expansion
opportunities;
o Attend two developer events per year in order to attract retail and commercial development in cities
where this is a significant source of revenue.
• Marketing
o Targeted direct-mail campaign to select consultants
o Optimized website for mobile use and increased usability to attract business owners,c-suite executives
and site selection consultants
o Increasing social media content and news releases highlighting community assets
• Competitive Intelligence
o Investor cities in East Volusia will have the opportunity to present two select sites/buildings to a nationally
recognized consulting firm for assessment revealing insight on how to best market those sites.
TVEDC has participated in all meetings,including the Chamber-led mission to Washington DC,relative to the potential
launch site proposed in close proximity to southeast Volusia,as we know that the long-term effects of that development
will enhance Volusia County's recruitment efforts.
TVEDC is recognized by Enterprise Florida as the lead recruitment agency for the County of Volusia. TVEDC prepares and
provides all proposals in response to Enterprise Florida leads. These projects and those led by site selection consultants
tend to be larger job-producing and higher-capital investment projects than self-generated leads. This is due to the
financial capability of large companies to enlist outside assistance during the relocation/expansion process.
As projects move through the pipeline,practitioners of investor cities and private-sector investors are invited to represent
their community and/or business to assist in attracting new companies during site visits and familiarization tours.
TVEDC currently has 31 projects in the pipeline with 3,004 jobs potential in Stages 2-4(17 projects). An international
company is looking at Edgewater for the location of their first United States distribution center employing 3 employees with
capital investment of approximately$500,000.
