Business & Industry

With a dynamic business climate, progressive civic leadership and excellent quality of life, Greater Boynton Beach offers a host of opportunities for all types of businesses. From downtown and Federal Highway (U.S. 1), to the central Congress Avenue corridor and the western communities, Boynton Beach is experiencing healthy commercial growth. The chamber itself is investing in the community's future. After 85 years in the downtown area, the chamber moved into a new office on Congress Avenue. In addition, the chamber opened a new Visitor Center to serve the growing numbers of business and leisure travelers coming to Boynton Beach.

Certainly, there are many reasons why Greater Boynton Beach is so attractive to developers, investors and new businesses:

• A high quality of life, with a wide range of housing, highly regarded schools and countless recreational activities.
• A growing population base that includes 65,000 residents within the city limits and another 85,000 in the western Boynton area. The average household income in the area exceeds $62,000 and the median age is just under 42 years.
• A central location in the heart of Palm Beach County. More than 40 percent of the county's total population lives within 10 miles of Boynton Beach.
• Easy access to regional and state markets. Area businesses can serve the 5.5 million South Florida metropolitan area, while Interstate 95 and the Florida Turnpike put the entire state within easy driving distance.
• Global accessibility, with three international airports and three major seaports less than 50 miles away.

Other business advantages include the region's large pool of skilled workers, low tax rates and financial incentive programs. The chamber works closely with the Business Development Board of Palm Beach County (BDB) to assist expanding and relocating businesses.
