Precision Manufacturing Starts Here

Citrus County is a natural fit for modern manufacturing operations. The region offers affordable industrial land, multimodal access, and workforce programs designed for skill-based production. From electronics assembly and component fabrication to clean-tech and light materials, this is a place where advanced manufacturing can take root and scale.

What Manufacturing Citrus County Supports Best

Clean, Low-Impact Production
Citrus County is ideal for manufacturing operations that require land, logistics, and reliability without the cost and congestion of metro markets. Industries producing electronics, plastics, modular systems, or light equipment will find both the space and infrastructure to grow—without needing heavy water or energy draw.

Precision Parts and Assembly
The region’s workforce pipeline and site sizes are best suited for parts manufacturing, assembly, and high-efficiency operations in sectors like aviation components, electrical systems, and instrumentation.

Flexible Footprints, Scalable Sites
The 550-acre Holder Industrial Park and 80-acre Inverness Business Park offer flexible configurations for assembly, testing, packaging, and light-to-medium manufacturing. These sites are ready for infrastructure extensions, and permitting can move quickly with local support.

Why Citrus Competes in This Sector

Infrastructure in Motion
Citrus County received $2.8 million from the Florida Job Growth Grant Fund to extend wastewater infrastructure to the Holder site—clearing the way for production-scale development on a 550-acre industrial property.

Supply Chain Access Without Congestion
The extension of the Suncoast Parkway, access to U.S. 19 and 98, and the potential use of the Cross Florida Barge Canal give manufacturers multiple paths to suppliers and markets.

Statewide Incentives Built for Manufacturing
Florida offers performance-based tools like the High Impact Performance Incentive (HIPI), tax exemptions on machinery and equipment, and Quick Response Training grants for custom workforce programs.

Training Dollars Aligned with Industry
In 2025, Citrus County received more than $850,000 through Florida’s Workforce Capitalization Incentive Grant Program to expand local training in production technology and manufacturing fundamentals.
