ESO: Strong Partnerships, Bright Futures
May 8th, 2025
Yesterday, Charlotte County Economic Development hosted our quarterly Entrepreneur Support Organizations (ESO) meeting—bringing together the partners who power innovation, small business growth, and workforce development in our community.
We shared exciting updates on Tradesman Place and the many future-forward plans in the works at the EDO. From real estate developments to workforce initiatives, momentum is building—and collaboration is the engine driving it.
Looking ahead, we discussed launching a CEO Roundtable and heard from Kay Tracy, who will be participating in a Workforce Roundtable with Dr. Timur from FGCU.
🚀 Next Steps for Our Ecosystem:
-
Brainstorm ways to attract and engage youth in entrepreneurship and the skilled trades
-
Explore Women in Aviation opportunities
-
Identify local influencers (like Danny Duncan!) who can inspire the next generation
Thank you to all our partners for leaning in and helping shape a thriving, inclusive future for Charlotte County’s business community. Let’s keep building together.
