manufacturing
As the local economic development organization for Tallahassee, we are interested in helping provide all available resources and assistance to area manufacturing organizations, helping them grow and develop in the most efficient way possible. We have worked with FloridaMakes to determine how Big Bend’s manufacturing community can accomplish these objectives. In response, the Big Bend Manufacturers Association (BBMA) is being developed. FloridaMakes is a conglomeration of regional manufacturing associations throughout Florida that work together to share information, resources, and knowledge to help the companies achieve and surpass the goals and targets they seek to obtain.
