New Series: “40 Under 40” Highlights Local Talent

We’re excited to kick off a brand-new series here at Charlotte County Economic Development: “40 Under 40.” This initiative highlights the inspiring stories of young professionals who are making a significant impact in our community. From entrepreneurs to innovators, these individuals are shaping the future of Charlotte County—and we couldn’t be prouder to share their journeys with you.

Spotlight on Casey Kennedy of Bloom Academy
Our first feature in the series shines a well-deserved spotlight on Casey Kennedy, the dynamic owner of Bloom Academy. Casey’s passion for early childhood education and her entrepreneurial spirit have positioned her as a true leader in our region. She’s committed to not only providing exceptional care and education for young children but also fostering growth and innovation in her business.

🎉 Casey embodies everything “40 Under 40” stands for: drive, leadership, and community impact.

Stay Tuned for the Full Story!
Later this month, we’ll be sharing an in-depth feature about Casey’s journey—how Bloom Academy started, her vision for the future, and how her work is making waves in Charlotte County. You won’t want to miss it!

This is just the beginning of a series that celebrates the incredible young talent we’re so lucky to have right here in our backyard.
