Edgewater Economic Board Boosts Business Growth

Edgewater actively works to enhance its community and economy through strategic initiatives that support local businesses and attract new investment. The city aims to strengthen quality of life, from the Edgewater Historic District to its waterfront, by fostering the success and expansion of existing enterprises and creating new employment opportunities.

The Edgewater Economic Development Advisory Board, composed of nine volunteer members appointed by the City Council, collaborates with Economic Development staff to identify and recommend strategies for job creation, business retention and expansion, economic diversification, and community prosperity. The board champions local business growth, encourages entrepreneurship, and highlights Edgewater’s economic advantages to potential investors along Biscayne Boulevard and near the bay.

Key objectives for the board and city staff include recruiting businesses that offer high-quality jobs and contribute to a diverse tax base. These efforts align with Edgewater’s vision for balanced growth, long-term sustainability, and economic resilience. The board markets the city's economic strengths and supports the recruitment of new businesses and investment opportunities.
