Lake County ~ At a Glance

Evolving change and a quickening of pace.  Aptly named, Lake County contains more than 550 lakes and waterways. Lake’s economy is based largely on agriculture and the retirement industry.  Change is afoot, however. Affordable land, convenient highway access and a pro-business attitude by leaders are paving the way for new development.

Much of the growth is in product distribution, with many large distributors calling Lake County home.  Another emerging industry is healthcare, particularly sports medicine, biomedicine and pharmaceuticals. The 80-acre Eustis Commerce Park has attracted high-wage, high-value tenants such as U.S. Nutraceuticals. The county’s aging population is one reason for that industry’s rapid progress. Another reason is the presence of the USA Triathlon National Training Center — named for its special partnership with USA Triathlon, the Olympic governing body for triathlon in the United States — located in the southern part of this evolving county.  The large residential community of The Villages and the boom in remodeling residential lakeside properties round out the area as a quiet, easy place to live.

Lake County
Lake County features some 1,200 acres of rolling hills and, as the name suggests, bountiful lakes. Not coincidentally the county is enjoying robust population and industrial growth throughout its 14 towns and cities. The counties of Polk, Volusia and Brevard all offer noteworthy features and distinct lifestyles, making Central Florida not only a hot spot, but also a warm and inviting community.
