Tampa Bay EDC wins top international award

The Tampa Bay Economic Development Council has won the International Economic Development Council's Gold Economic Development Organization of the Year Excellence Award for 2023 in the large market category, which means regions with a population greater than 500,000.

The award was given earlier this week at the IEDC's annual conference in Dallas.

The Tampa Bay EDC says the award recognizes economic development organizations "that have demonstrated evidence of consistent strategy, defined goals and accomplishments, and committed leadership."
