In Citrus County the climate is exceptional! The business climate as well as the quality of life available, is what makes our county one of the most desirable areas in Florida. Citrus County, commonly known as the “Nature Coast”, is located in west central Florida on the Gulf of Mexico, just an hour north of Tampa. We are pro-business in Citrus County and through our Business Retention and Expansion efforts we will continue to build a community that offers all services necessary to the employers and employees.
