VERO BEACH – Seacoast National Bank recently announced that it is a Presenting Sponsor for the Indian River County Chamber of Commerce Energy and Technology Expo, which is slated for Saturday, Oct. 22 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Indian River Mall.
The expo will highlight the latest trends and businesses in the Energy and Technology fields. In addition to informative booth displays from a broad variety of businesses, there will be several free events such as: Seacoast’s “Preventing Technology Fraud” workshop at noon, a company overview and community update from FPL regarding the City of Vero Beach and the award-winning film: “Kilowatt Ours” will show at AMC Theatres at 10:30.
Seacoast is also a Platinum investor in Indian River County Chamber of Commerce’s Economic Development Division initiatives. The bank joins the ranks of community leaders that are heading the charge to building a healthy local economy by investing in the future economic diversification of the community. Although recent reports have been disappointing regarding a breakthrough recovery in the near term, leaders in Indian River County are looking towards a brighter future and continuing to invest in initiatives the will build upon the county’s economic infrastructure.
“As a Treasure Coast-based bank, Seacoast has been a long-term supporter of economic development, which is critical to the people and market we serve. Investing in the community is one of our bank’s core values,” noted Cyn DeLee Dalton, Senior Vice President, Regional Retail Manager/Indian River County, Seacoast National Bank. “However, our commitment goes much deeper than corporate values. We live here, work here and our children go to school in this community. The successes of the Chamber’s economic development initiatives are closely tied to all of our futures.”
The Board of Indian River County Commissioners designated the Indian River County Chamber of Commerce as the county’s primary economic development agency. The Economic Development Division works with community leaders to lead the way to a healthy economy through economic diversification that expands the County’s tax base by attracting new, light industrial companies and by assisting existing companies to grow. The final outcome is permanent, full-time, better paying jobs for local residents. In the past year the organization facilitated six Local Jobs Grant awards for new and expanding companies that will create an estimated 250 new jobs over the next several years, in addition to numerous other benchmark accomplishments.
