Washington

Washington County is centrally located in Northwest Florida, north of Panama City and midway between Pensacola and Tallahassee. Progressive city and county governments continue to promote an economic growth plan for their residents and businesses that balances exceptional business opportunities with an exceptional quality of life.

Besides the low cost of living and abundant land, Washington County's government leaders are economic development friendly.  The county –  soon to be debt free – has a professional grant writer, a certified planner, and a desire to see the county grow.
