People who visit want to move here and the residents who live here don't want to move! Businesses are relocating or developing here every day. Visitors who help our biggest industry of tourism thrive, return year after year. St. Petersburg and Pinellas County offer an unequaled environment for work and play. Wonderful weather and miles of sandy beaches, a relatively low cost of living, agreeable taxes and progressive employment opportunities draw people to the area from around the nation and the world.

Add to these amenities quality schools, colleges and universities, top-notch health care, affordable housing, and outstanding arts and recreational facilities, and it is easy to see why we are so attractive to new residents and visitors.
