The Economic Development Office "goes live" - Update

In late October, the Economic Development Office went on-stage with its Live Help Initiative. Extending its reach, its online users can now chat live with a support representative, allowing for increased interaction in providing assistance to website users.  A one-click process allows any user to chat directly with a representative to help answer any questions the user may have. “Such live, instantaneous support allows our office to provide professional, hands on assistance in order to help our clients meet their objectives” said Mr. Moore, the Economic Development Office Director.

Since then, the Economic Development Office has received several inquiries ranging in scope from tax issues to company expansions via the Live Help System. We are pleased that our website users are utilizing the tool and hope to continue to provide the best services possible in order to help Lee County grow.

Live Help hours of operation are M-F 8:30AM - 4:30PM.

Site Selectors Take Note

A portion of the LeeCountyBusiness.com website which will be dedicated to supporting Site Selectors, is being developed. Still in its infancy, the section will have information that you can use in your efforts to choose a home for your clients and bring increased business into Lee County.  Keep an eye on this section, as it will continue to grow.

Changes Ahead

Over the next several months you may notice some changes to our website. This is because we are working very hard towards shaping the website into a comprehensive tool and information source for our users wherever we can. Please stay tuned and visit often!
