  • Arcadia, located in DeSoto County in Southwest Florida, is gaining attention as a strategic destination for industrial and logistics investment. Its central location between Tampa, Fort Myers, and Sarasota places it within easy reach of major highways like US-17 and State Road 70, making it an attractive option for distribution and manufacturing operations serving the Gulf Coast and beyond.

    Recent years have seen increased interest in Arcadia’s industrial corridors, with new developments targeting warehousing, food processing, and agricultural supply chain operations. The city’s proximity to both Florida’s agricultural heartland and major consumer markets positions it as a natural hub for value-added processing and supply chain management.

    Industrial vacancy rates remain low, and the region offers competitive land pricing compared to larger metro areas. DeSoto County Economic Development partners with employers to identify sites

    and facilitate permitting, while also supporting infrastructure upgrades for new projects.

    Arcadia’s workforce is supported by regional training initiatives, including programs at South Florida State College and workforce services coordinated through CareerSource Heartland. These efforts help local businesses recruit and upskill talent for advanced manufacturing, logistics, and technical roles.
