Winter Haven new homesThe New Year is a time for fresh starts and new beginnings, and it seems that we’ll be seeing both here in Florida. Those shopping for new homes and new jobs will be happy to hear that Winter Haven and Lakeland homes will be in the center of an economic expansion, according to the recent Forbes.com article “Where the Jobs Will (and Won’t) Be in 2012.”

Both cities plan to increase their workforces at an accelerated rate this year as compared to other metropolitan areas in the country, and several key factors are contributing to this growth. In Winter Haven, the highly anticipated theme park, Legoland Florida, opened and brought with it approximately 1,100 jobs, and the Winter Haven Chamber of Commerce reports upcoming employment opportunities with CSX and planned retail developments.

In addition to the development in Winter Haven, Lakeland is home to many corporate headquarters including Publix, Geico and WellDyne RX, all of which have been in a hiring mode, and Coca-Cola recently announced expansion of their Auburndale facility. Read More→
