In 2024, Leon County continued to progress while addressing significant challenges and maintaining its commitment to setting the standard for local government performance, fiscal stewardship, and best practices. From the opening of Amazon, the largest private sector job injection in the county’s history, to reimagining the downtown library to meet emerging needs, Leon County has remained dedicated to advancing an ambitious vision for our community and delivering tangible results for our citizens.
Each year, I present an annual report to the Board of County Commissioners and our community that highlights Leon County’s commitment to investing in infrastructure, creating places for people and businesses to thrive, and embracing innovation and co-creation — all of which makes our county one of the best places anywhere to live, work, and play.
We did this and so much more in 2024, staying focused on our strategic priorities and bold goals for the organization and the community, including growing our local tourism economy, addressing pressing issues like affordable housing, protecting our precious environment, and so much more.
