Orange County has employment opportunities in a wide range of industries. As new businesses continue to move into the area and existing businesses grow, employment will continue to be on the rise. Orange County has an educated and motivated workforce traditionally functioning in a non-union work environment. The greatest area for potential employment lies in the services industry, which represents approximately 40 percent of all employment. Within the services area, the tourism sector is particularly promising. Two of the three biggest employers comprise theme parks and hotels: the Walt Disney World Resort and Universal Orlando. Health care and retail (stores) also are major employers within the services sector. In addition, several corporate headquarters are located throughout the region. They include Siemens Westinghouse, American Automobile Association, Dixon Ticonderoga, Darden Restaurants, Hilton and Tupperware International.

Take a look at http://www.employmentwizard.com/?pid=172 Orlando and Orange County Arts and Culture
Orlando's arts community is, strong and growing." The budget of all arts organizations is $25 million annually. The quality of what the community receives for this investment is extraordinarily high. Two organizations need to be mentioned: Central Florida Performing Arts Alliance The Central Florida Performing Arts Alliance is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit member organization that advances theatre, dance and music through informing, advocating and nurturing relationships on behalf of the performing arts community. The Performing Arts Alliance serves roughly 500 individual artists and 85 producing companies in Central Florida. United Arts of Central Florida United Arts of Central Florida is a dynamic collaboration that includes regional corporations, small business, local governments, arts organizations, museums, artists, school districts and individuals. They work to enhance the quality and diversity of cultural experiences available throughout Lake, Orange, Osceola and Seminole counties. Since its inception in 1989, United Arts has invested over $74 million in local cultural organizations and cultural education. Above information from Performing arts council site at: http://www.orlandoperforms.com/displaycommon.cfm?an=1&subarticlenbr=25 The following stats include Orlando and communities within 25 miles-Kissimmee-Winter Park-Maitland Museums and Culture There are 32 museums Dance and theatre There are 34 facilities Performing arts-schools-instruction (music to ballet) There are 35 facilities Art Galleries/ Visual Arts There are over 150 galleries Antique stores There are over 210 Antique stores Orlando Symphony Orchestra 3710 Neptune Dr, Orlando, FL 407-228-8414 To see lists and addresses go to www.yahoo.com/ or www,google.com Some local highlights include the following: The artistic director of the Orlando Ballet, Fernando Bujones, is internationally renowned in ballet circles. Orlando is home to one of the top orchestras in the state. Orlando is home to the top opera in the state. The Morse Museum is internationally known for its Tiffany Glass collection. The City of Orlando’s Public Arts division curates three galleries, all of which are free to the general public. Two of the galleries are located in Orlando’s City Hall; the third is housed within the historic Harry P. Leu Gardens Garden Home. The Florida Film Festival in Orlando has been ranked among the top 10 festivals in the world by The Ultimate Film Festival Survival Guide, 2nd Edition. The Zora Neale Hurston Festival is an internationally known celebration of the cultural contributions that Africa-descended people have made to the United States and to world culture. The Orlando Museum of Art boasts a renowned permanent collection and has played host to many world-famous traveling exhibits, including American glass artist Dale Chihuly, China’s Ming Dynasty Collection, and American folk painter Grandma Moses. In the past, they have hosted the Ming Exhibit, among others. Orlando annually hosts the Orlando Broadway Series, Orlando-UCF Shakespeare Festival and the Festival of Orchestras. The Orlando Fringe Festival is a well-known, off-beat cultural event. We are also home to professional sports and the annual Capital One Bowl and Champs Sports Bowl games. In conclusion, a good tax base and income from visitors and new residents means an expanding arts program. Arts and culture is a very strong part of the Orlando experience. Kissimmee
Kissimmee (pronounced Kih-sih-me) is a city in Osceola County, in the south Orlando metro area. It’s right in the middle of central Florida, adjacent to a couple of big lakes called Tohokepaliga (really). It enjoys a great location for exploring Disney (right next door), the Orlando area (10 miles north), or the chain of lakes region of central Florida (everywhere). Melbourne’s excelent beaches are now less than an hour away, with the nearly complete modernizing of US 192. From a commercial perspective, Kissimmee is at Florida’s crossroads – literally, since the big “X” where the I-4 corridor crosses the Florida Turnpike is just up the road. For driving distances throughout Florida from Kissimmee go to : http://www.ersys.com/usa/12/1236950/distance.htm Real Estate opportunities in the area are as diverse as you’d expect in a big city, or, close by, as rural as all the books about Florida’s “Best Backroads” and small towns. You can buy classic little historic places in the adjacent old town of St. Cloud, or you can find pricier river and lakefront properties both southeast and southwest of Kissimmee. Just east of St. Cloud there is also the major new planned community of Harmony. So Kissimmee is much more than just the gateway city to Disney World and other world famous attractions that it once was. It still is the inexpensive version of that. But you should look past the congested and unattractive parts of US 192 that define too many people’s first impressions (City Fathers are doing something about this, and the city and county are belatedly working on creating the infrastructure to support the area’s rapid growth). Instead, see it in context. And if you are relocating to Florida, check it out. A few facts The estimated population, in 2003, was 54,598 and the median age is 33. Kissimmee is adjacent to Lake Tohopekaliga and the Kissimmee chain of lakes. These destinations have always been some of the best destinations for trophy bass fishing in the country. The area to the south and through the lake district all the way to Lake Okeechobee is one of the prettiest in Florida. In general, recreation options are extensive, and include everything you can do in Florida The city of Kissimmee is located in the fourth fastest growing county in the United States. The growth has been in the areas of business, industry, tourism, and residential relocation. Due to the rapid growth there is a constant need for quality employees and new business. Kissimmee’s historic downtown historic districts feature unique shops, art galleries, antique shops, restaurant and sightseeing. The area goes from a modern feel to a Western feel. (The Kissimmee silver spurs rodeo is a major event and draws competitors from around the country). Major types of employment in the area. Arts, Entertainment, Recreation, Accommodation, & Food Services Trade (Retail/Wholesale) Education, Health,& Social Services Construction Professional, Management, Administrative, & Waste Management Services Transportation, Warehousing, & Utilities Finance, Insurance, Real Estate, & Rental/Leasing Transportation Kissimmee sits astride the surface transportation commercial crossroads of peninsular Florida, and it’s also just minutes from the south airport entrance to Orlando International. All the same highways, railways etc, that are on the Orlando transportation link apply here with a few additions. US 192 A major tourist strip in the area around the Walt Disney World Resort, including "mile markers" (with a variable distance between each) to help tourists locate businesses. Osceola parkway In the late 1990s, the Osceola Parkway was built as a bypass of 192 around Kissimmee 192 Intersections with other U.S. and Interstate Highways US 27 west of the Walt Disney World Resort I-4 at the Walt Disney World Resort US 17/US 92 (John Young Parkway) in Kissimmee begin US 17/US 92 concurrency US 17/US 92/US 441 (Main Street) in Kissimmee end US 17/US 92 concurrency; begin US 441 concurrency US 441 at Holopaw end US 441 concurrency I-95 west of Melbourne. As noted, 192 has been 4-laned from about Holopaw to 95, continuing on a commercial but fast urban parkway all the way to the beaches. 4-laning west of Holopaw is under construction. For more local information go to: http://www.floridakiss.com/ In conclusion Kissimmee has both rural and brand new neighborhoods, and some Old Florida small town neighborhoods. You can have a home close to commercial streets in the city, in the country on a lake, or live in a rural neighborhood. Prices are very affordable. And if you’re looking for commercial opportunity, there’s plenty of that here too. The selection here is diverse, and yet you have everything a big city (Orlando) has to offer, and ready access to all the transportation links. When the name Orlando is mentioned we always think about Disney and theme parks. And these were the economic engines that drove Orlando’s growth for a quarter century.
But today’s Orlando is much, much more than that. It is a diverse community, with great neighborhoods and excelent educational and health systems that manage to serve this rapidly changing community and still compete with the best in the country. Orlando-Orange County and adjacent sections of other Central Florida counties are home to a number of colleges and universities which over time are helping transform this area into a center of higher education. Seminole, Volusia, Lake Built around literally hundreds of lakes, Orlando is also an extraordinarily beautiful city. As Orlando has grown, it has enclosed old Orange County cities like Winter Park,which then become fabulous neighborhoods within the greater metro area, adding to the character of this unique city. Towns of interest in surrounding parts of Seminole, Volusia, Lake, and Osceola counties have also become part of this process It is already an economic giant in business and job creation,and is on its way to becoming one of the world’s major metropolitan areas. The Florida Turnpike and the I-4 Corridor cross here, making Orlando the connecting hub of Central Florida and linking it to both Coasts. Its state-of-the-art, award-winning international airport is connected by dozens of carriers to every spot in North America and around the globe. You might think that such rapid growth would create an unacceptable price in terms of poor infrastructure but you would be wrong. Central Florida counties have stayed ahead of the curve, and the roads and highways are generally excelent throughout the metro region. Some have compared this area to a growing mini-Los Angeles, but Orlando’s freeway system is better. What else is there to say? Well, add in a great quality of life and recreational choices ranging from professional sports, outdoor activities, vibrant nightlife, excelent dining out choices, fine art and cultural events, world famous family attractions, a beautiful natural environment and nearby beaches on either the Atlantic or the Gulf. Orlando has much of what you would expect to find, and the offerings seem to increase every day. And if you’d like to explore another metropolitan area as well, Tampa-St.Petersburg are just over an hour’s drive West. Another word about the diverse recreational options outdoors: to the North is the Ocala National Forest and Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge, with hiking, paddleboating, and birding. All of the Lake Country that was part of the 19th century Steamboat Era lies just to the North, and the great Citrus Ridge area lies just to the South. To the East are the great Atlantic beaches at Daytona, New Smyrna, and Cocoa Beach, not to mention Cape Canaveral National Seashore. Also East, in the Mosquito Lagoon, the Indian and Banana Rivers, and of course any number of fresh-water lakes one finds myriad opportunities for boating, fishing, and exploring. And last but not least, the cost of living in Orlando is below the national average, and compared to other areas of the United States it’s way below. In fact, Central Florida remains one of the last great bargains in the Sunshine State(see cost of living page). General Information, Orange County: Located in the middle portion of Florida, 85 miles northeast of Tampa, 231 miles north west of Miami and 243 miles south of Tallahassee. Average summer Temperature 90°F, but hotter in July and August, although it tends to cool off at night Average winter temperature is 71, with warm comfortable days and cool nights Average yearly temperature 72 Average Annual Precipitation 53 in Average Rain Days 116 Population projection 2005 -1 million, Orange County County Average home cost-June 2005-$242,000 Cost of Living-99.98 Median age-33 Major Employment By Industry in order of numbers Construction 5.1% Education & Health Services 15.0% Financial Activities 6.5% Information 2.7% Leisure & Hospitality 22.2% Manufacturing 4.6% Natural Resources & Mining 0.8% Other Services 2.9% 3.2% Professional & Business Services 17.3% Public administration 4.4% Trade, Transportation and Utilities 18.6% A great quality of life amidst a rapidly growing area a vibrant and rapidly diversifying economy, good schools and medical services, safe neighborhoods and a unique lake-filled, protected natural environment are some of the things that Orlando-Orange County all about.

To say that Florida is about being outdoors is an understatement. Some parts of the SunBelt seem to be mostly about air conditioning and a quick dash outdoors to go to the supermarket. Central Coastal Florida isn’t like that; sure it’s hot in the Summertime, but that doesn’t get in the way of things, like it does in, say, Texas or Arizona or Nevada. And this greater Melbourne area, in particular, is phenomenal. Consider, for a moment, its sheer number and variety of recreational opportunities: 200 Parks, 21 Nature Trails 28 Golf Courses, 23 Tennis Courts 37 Boat Ramps 72 miles of beaches 13 Ocean beach parks 3 Full service campgrounds 11 Ocean Surf fishing park areas To see a complete list fo to the site below http://www.brevardparks.com/parks/index.htm If you think about this for a moment, it resolves into a pretty interesting list of things to do outdoors in Melbourne and Brevard County: Beaching, in all its variety Fishing-saltwater and freshwater Boating-Ocean or River Florida Fishing Guides by Lagooner Diving-Ocean wrecks Surfing-We have some of the best surfing in the state. Hiking Bike riding – most residential areas are enforced 25 mph speed limits Birding-world class, lots of stops on the migration flyway too Photography Windsurfing Kayaking—there are good rental locations and lots of places to launch. And besides the Beaches, which I’ve mentioned already, there are myriad and wonderful other places to visit. Among these are: Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge Turkey Creek sanctuary Another place you'll want to visit is the citizen-built Brevard Zoo. This is a very well run, clean facility with both local and African wildlife. And for environmentally based outings consider the dolphin-watch cruises on the Indian River Lagoon. Other outdoor wonderlands--in addition to the miles and miles of beaches (especially the pristine sands owned and monitored by the federal government)--include the Archie Carr National Wildlife Refuge, the Canaveral National Seashore, Erna Nixon Park, the Turkey Creek Sanctuary, the Ulamay Wildlife Sanctuary, the Enchanted Forest and the Sebastian Inlet State Recreation Area. Coon's Run Wildlife Sanctuary in Rockledge offers rehabilitation for injured and orphaned wildlife at its privately operated, non-profit center. The area on the barrier island along the Atlantic Ocean from Holland Spessard Park south of Melbourne Beach to Sebastian Inlet, at the county's southern border, is the largest sea turtle nesting area in the United States. Between May and August, Loggerheads, Greens and Leatherbacks come ashore to lay their eggs. You can walk the beach in the morning and see as many as 20 new turtle crawls from the night before, or you can sign up for one of the frequent nighttime turtle conservation tours and watch the egg-laying yourself. Hatchlings that survive--and few do in spite of serious efforts to protect them--struggle back to the sea during September and October. Good Sports Surfing is big here. Several tournaments occur annually in Cocoa Beach. Sebastian Inlet's Monster Hole and Spanish House challenge even experienced surfers. One "don't miss" spot on the surf circuit is Ron Jon's Surf Shop, a Cocoa Beach institution. Originally a small surf shop with several boards and a few T-shirts for sale, it's now a 24-hours-a-day merchandising palace complete with amenities like a fountain and a glass-encased elevator in addition to every conceivable retail item that can carry a Ron Jon logo, including thousands and thousands of T-shirts. Fishing--especially the saltwater variety--is popular with locals and vacationers. Sport fishermen catch mackerel, sailfish, marlin, wahoo and tuna from Brevard County waters. Marinas, boats, airboats, charter fishing boats, commercial fishing boats and pleasure craft--ranging from one-man skulls and canoes to cabin cruisers and yachts--abound. The Cocoa Beach Pier, which stretches out 840 feet above the ocean, is a good place to cast your line if you don't have a boat--or even if you do. And then there’s that 40 mile beach-anybody can be a surfcaster, and it doesn’t require a lot of fancy equipment. Other active sports fans enjoy Brevard's facilities, too. Hiking and biking entertain some. Public tennis courses exist in at least 11 parks. The 16 public and seven private golf courses located within county borders keep most golfers content. And, of course, wind surfing, surfing, swimming, diving and boating along the Intracoastal Waterway and Atlantic Ocean beaches keep water-friendly folks in a state of barely controlled bliss. Baseball is big in the late winter and early spring when Big League ball players train and compete here on the Grapefruit Circuit. The Florida Marlins (from the Miami area) train right here in Brevard County; the Los Angeles Dodgers do their spring stint in Vero Beach (in Indian River County just south of Brevard County). For professional football, residents can travel up the coast to see the Jacksonville Jaguars play; for pro basketball, their best bet is the Orlando Magic, who play less than an hour's drive from home. Hot Times in the City You'll be busy for weeks visiting Brevard County's many places of interest. In the Titusville area (north), try Astronaut Hall of Fame, the Valiant Air Command Museum and especially the very reasonable and exciting NASA Kennedy Space Center, where the Astronauts Memorial is also worth a look. Don't neglect downtown Titusville's historic district and the North Brevard Historical Museum. In the Cocoa Beach (north central) area, check out the pier and Port Canaveral--its commerce, foreign trade zone and Jetty Park. Also mid-county, don't miss Cocoa Village, especially the Village Playhouse and the Porcher House. On A1A in Cocoa Beach, you'll find the famous Ron Jon Surf Shop. On the mainland in Cocoa, visit the Brevard Museum of History and Natural Science and the Astronaut Memorial Hall and Planetarium at the Cocoa campus of Brevard Community College (BCC). In conclusion, what choices! Glad I’m not in Michigan this winter. Ha! The communities of Melbourne Fl:
The Melbourne area includes Palm Bay and other southern communities plus West Melbourne, and Melbourne Village in central Brevard up to Viera, Cocoa and Titusville in the north. And it also includes a half dozen beach communities on one long, fabulous barrier island stretching from Sebastian Inlet to Cape Canaveral. About the area Historically, the place that gives this entire area its “name” is Melbourne, the oldest and best-known community on what Floridians call the “Space Coast”. Melbourne is right in the center of a long north-south corridor – coastal Brevard County – that is sandwiched between the St. Johns River Basin to the West and the Atlantic Ocean. Melbourne is a technical center and thus a strong a job producer plus has a great cost of living standard. The result is that Melbourne real estate and Brevard county real estate are very desirable, with homes starting in the mid $150,000 range. When you approach the Ocean over the high bridge across the Indian River (the Intra-Coastal Waterway or ICW), your view is sweeping. It is not blocked by condos and hotels, thanks to strict zoning laws enacted well before the current rapid growth and development. For one thing, there are 3- and 4-story height limits, unlike what you find throughout much of South Florida. For another, there is lots of easy to find, easy to use “forever” beach access. Before development there was conservation, and Melbourne and its beachside communities have some of the nicest public beaches in all of Florida Melbourne also has a great Old-Town, downtown area with specialty shops, antique stores, theaters, restaurants and more. There are dining places overlooking both the Indian River Lagoon (the IntraCoastal) and the Ocean. Another Old Town section, Eau Gallie, features art galleries and the county art museum. Historically, the place that gives this entire area its “name” is Melbourne, the oldest and best-known community on what Floridians call the “Space Coast”. Melbourne is right in the center of a long north-south corridor – coastal Brevard County – that is sandwiched between the St. Johns River Basin to the West and the Atlantic Ocean.
It stretches from Palm Bay and other smaller communities in the south through Melbourne, West Melbourne, and Melbourne Village in central Brevard to Viera, Cocoa and Titusville in the north. And it includes a half dozen beach communities on one long, fabulous barrier island stretching from Sebastian Inlet to Cape Canaveral. The location makes anywhere in the state very accessible. Even remote Key West is just a 5 or 6 hour drive. As to Outdoor and recreational opportunities, in my opinion it’s one of the best places in Florida. The beaches are not jammed, there is plenty of access and it’s not wall to wall development. The location makes anywhere in the state very accessible. Orlando is just an hour away and even remote Key West is just a 5 or 6 hour drive. As to Outdoor and recreational opportunities, in my opinion it’s one of the best places in Florida. The beaches are not jammed, there is plenty of access and it’s not wall to wall development.
