Lake City was
named one of the top
small business
markets in the

Florida, from a
report in the April
2008 issue of
Southern Business &
Development
Magazine.
Columbia County, FL
is located in a rapidly
growing region of North
Florida with over

trade area. The
population has doubled
in the last 25 years
with our current county
totals over 67,000. Lake
City is the county's
economic and
governmental center and
has grown into a town
that, while cherishing
its small town community
charm and manners, its
is forward thinking
enough to plan,
organize, develop and
support modern
conveniences and
amenities.
A variety of business
thrive here and employ
thousands of workers in
professions that range
from mining and
manufacturing to
healthcare. Located just
60 miles from
international airports

Tourism is also a

with famous springs and
rivers, and the gateway

thousands of suites and
hotel rooms & numerous
restaurants. |
