| Summary: | This thesis analyzes the use of targeting in four Florida cities: Gainesville, Fort Myers, Fort Pierce, and Pensacola. Many Economic Development Organizations (EDOs) target certain industries to bring to their community. Often, these assessments are based on assumptions about quality of jobs and the impact they would have on the community. Geography is left out of the equation. Biotechnology (SIC 2836), Airplane and Parts (SIC 372), Corporate Headquarters (represented by administrative and auxiliary functions), and Printed Circuit Boards (SIC 3672) industries have been identified as targeted industries and are examined in depth. Various cities in the study set have chosen to target these industries. This thesis then goes on to explain where these industries typically locate and whether their characteristics match the Florida communities. | |
