Southeast Florida (Gold Coast, Treasure Coast & Keys)
August 31, 2026 — Southeast Florida (Gold Coast, Treasure Coast & Keys) new business activity
For anyone selling to new businesses in Southeast Florida, this week points to a market that is firming up after a soft stretch, with the strongest signal in freight and logistics. Transportation and warehousing filings rose faster than any other sector, and the concrete developments back that up: a logistics firm adding 41 jobs in West Palm Beach, a port pushing to deepen its channel, and a commerce park in Martin County moving toward construction.

August 29, 2026 — North Central Florida (Gainesville & Ocala) new business activity
For someone selling to new businesses here, this week says the easy growth is over but the work is still there. The headline count fell, and the building-related sectors that usually drive it pulled back, so the prospects are thinner on the development side.

August 23, 2026 — Northwest Florida (Panhandle & Capital) new business activity
A down week in filings does not mean a quiet market. The pullback was concentrated in professional services, real estate, and management companies, while construction held steady and personal services, finance, and education grew.

August 31, 2026 — Southeast Florida (Gold Coast, Treasure Coast & Keys) civic and development activity

Read the report →North Central Florida (Gainesville & Ocala)
August 29, 2026 — North Central Florida (Gainesville & Ocala) civic and development activity
The week's records point to steady land use work across North Central Florida. Rezonings in Columbia County, a cellular tower and a housing program in Lafayette County, road dollars in Levy County, and engineering contracts in Alachua County all point the same way.
Read the report →Northeast Florida (First Coast)
August 27, 2026 — Northeast Florida (First Coast) civic and development activity
The clearest signal this week is Jacksonville's run of rezonings, which point to new mixed-use and commercial building ahead. Firms that do site work, construction, and the trades that follow should watch these move through review.
