Nestled in the heart of dynamic west central Florida, Plant City thrives in its prime location between two of the state's most progressive cities and business centers, Tampa and Orlando.
Major highways mark Plant City's borders, offering convenient access for manufacturing, warehousing and distribution facilities. The pulse of city life is close by with major league sporting events, a wealth of cultural activities and other exciting attractions, yet Plant City maintains its distinctive small town charm.
The area's history is rooted firmly in agriculture and agribusiness industries. And more recently, with access to a labor force of 2.5 million residents and an extensive transportation network, companies around the country recognize Plant City as a new hub of diverse business activity.
