Manatee County
offers the "Perfect Combination." Ideally situated in the Tampa Bay

to Florida's closest deep-water port to Mexico, Port Manatee, and offers an
excellent transportation linkage. |

Climate |

|
|
The gentle sea
breezes off the Coast keep the summers milder than many northern cities and
the winters ideal. When it comes to
recruiting employees, the climate and year round outdoor activities are a
plus! |
