WELCOME FROM THE CHAIRMAN

This year has been an amazing year for the Citrus County Chamber of Commerce and I am honored and humbled to have been the Chair of the Board of Directors. I am so grateful for all of the businesses, individuals, and community groups that have made this year a success for Citrus County.

www.citruscountychamber.com 915 N. Suncoast Boulevard Crystal River, Florida 34429 (352) 795-3149 PR@citruscountychamber.com

The vision of the Chamber starts with “to make Citrus County a great place to live, work, and play” and I believe as a Chamber, we have surpassed our own expectations. Our Manatee and Strawberry Festivals were blockbuster! We had so many new vendors and a wide variety of entertainment. Our luncheons were very important and informative in this election year and our mixers were a great opportunity for networking with new members.

Whether during Legislative Days or during Candidate Forums, our Governmental Affairs Committee was relentless in ensuring that citizens, businesses, local and state officials were aware of critical issues in Citrus County.

My initiative as Chair this year was for the Chamber to be a participant with increasing early literacy in Citrus County. I am so grateful that the Chamber partnered with the Citrus County Education Foundation and sponsored their First Library Program.

This program enables every Pre-K and Kindergarten student to start their own at home first library.

As I close, I would like to invite you to connect and collaborate with the Citrus County Chamber of Commerce. It is a great resource that will assist whether you are a consumer or a business.

Best Regards

Debbie Reilly Debbie Reilly - Chair of the Board

“First of all, I want to thank you so much for helping my mother during such a terrifying car accident.

they did so in such a short amount of time. We raved about the speed at which this was solved and that Ashley kept clear communication throughout.

and picked them out of the phone book primarily due to their love of dogs. Turned out to be a great decision. Worked with Ashley and she took me through the process I was facing.

She was always available for any question and kept me up to date as the case unfolded.

Decades of experience on my side.

Ashley worked wonders through depositions and in the end, got me probation. This is modified probation in which my record will be completely clean after the term.

Quite an accomplishment since some of my charges carried up to a life sentence.

Featuring popular retailers like Target, Aldi, Hobby Lobby, Starbucks, and more, it brings convenience and variety right to the doorstep of Citrus County residents.

Economically, the shopping center is projected to contribute around $25 million to the local GDP, benefiting everyone by supporting local infrastructure and enhancing public services.

Roasters

Cattle Dog Coffee Roasters has carved out a name for itself locally and nationally among coffee enthusiasts, placing 2nd in four Coffee Fest Cold Brew competitions over the past decade while consistently finishing in the Top 10 at the World Food Competition each of the seven years they’ve competed.

For years, M&B Dairy has been a trusted name in Citrus County and beyond, providing high-quality dairy products to schools throughout the state.

Recently, M&B Dairy embraced an exciting new opportunity by launching retail sales, bringing their delicious milk directly into homes across Florida. The result? An impressive surge in popularity and success. M&B Dairy’s expansion into retail not only reinforces their position as a leader in the dairy industry but also marks a new chapter in their dedication to feeding families with healthy, locally sourced products.

One of the rising stars helping to distribute M&B Dairy’s milk products is The Chopping Block, a newcomer that has quickly transformed into a community staple. Bursting onto the scene in early 2023, this local butcher shop has set a high standard for freshness, quality, and neighborly values.

CRYSTAL RIVER’S STORY OF RESILIENCE In the wake of three hurricanes, one tornado, and an additional flooding event that swept through our region in 2023 and 2024, the City of Crystal River has shown remarkable resilience and unity. From the tireless efforts of city staff to the unwavering determination of the downtown business community, Crystal River has bounced back stronger than ever. Residents, local organizations, and city leaders banded together to restore infrastructure, clear debris, and provide essential support to those in need.

Neighbors helping neighbors and businesses innovating to reopen their doors became the hallmark of a united effort to move forward.

Downtown Crystal River has been a shining example of creativity and perseverance.

Despite daunting challenges, local businesses adapted within days by hosting outdoor pop-up shops, collaborating on joint promotions, and leveraging social media to stay connected with customers. With a shared commitment to revitalization, the downtown district not only recovered quickly but thrived, standing as a hub of inspiration and a testament to the city’s enduring spirit.

BUSINESS BENEFITS FROM BEHAVIORAL HEALTH

A

t the Citrus County Chamber of Commerce, we recognize that behavioral health is a cornerstone of a thriving community. Behavioral health encompasses mental health, substance abuse, and overall psychological well-being—all critical factors that profoundly impact the quality of life for our residents. By prioritizing behavioral health initiatives, we aim to foster a supportive environment where individuals can lead productive, fulfilling lives.

Addressing behavioral health issues offers significant benefits to the business community. A workforce that is mentally healthy is more engaged, productive, and innovative. By supporting employees’ behavioral health needs, businesses can reduce absenteeism, lower healthcare costs, and improve overall workplace morale. Furthermore, companies that champion behavioral health initiatives enhance their reputation, making them more attractive to top talent and fostering customer loyalty. Ultimately, investing in behavioral health is an investment in the economic vitality and sustainability of our local businesses.

DRAMATIC EFFECT Honoring a local Educator

Citrus High School’s drama teacher, Ms. Neander, was recently honored as the 2023 Outstanding Theatre Arts Educator by the Florida Association for Theatre Education.

Recognized for her exceptional dedication and impact on students, Ms. Neander has elevated the school’s drama program during her 23-year tenure, inspiring a love of the arts and fostering a creative learning environment. Citrus High School thespians, under the direction of drama teacher Kristen Neander, won the District 12 Festival in December 2023 with a Superior Award for the one-act play “This Girl Laughs, This Girl Cries, This Girl does Nothing,” leading CHS into its 23rd year competing at a state level.

WITHLACOOCHEE TECHNICAL COLLEGE for current officers is also available.

Individuals seeking their GED(R) credential can enroll in GED(R) preparation classes, taught by state-certified instructors. Those who want to learn to speak, read, and write English can utilize the English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) classes.

WTC’s hands-on training ensures student success in the classroom that translates into a well-prepared workforce.

Instructors possess years of experience in their fields as well as relevant industry credentials. As a result, learning at WTC is enjoyable, engaging, and ensures students have the skills necessary in a rapidly evolving workplace.

Withlacoochee Technical College (WTC), located in Inverness, was established in 1968 to educate the workforce of Citrus and surrounding counties. WTC offers career and technical education (CTE) programs for adults and qualifying high school students.

Perhaps the primary benefit of seeking an education from WTC is that most programs can be completed in one school year or less when attending full time.

Another benefit is the reasonable cost of CTE. WTC’s programs are financially supported in part by the Workforce Education Fund of Florida. This results in highly affordable tuition for students at WTC. Each program’s total cost is based on the length of the program

and associated costs such as lab fees, books, and required supplies. Specific information about each program’s tuition and costs can be found at WTC’s website at www.wtcollege.org under the Programs tab. WTC accepts various forms of financial assistance for tuition including but not limited to the Pell Grant, Bright Futures, and Veterans Education Benefits.

Many community groups offer specific scholarship opportunities to students and the college actively seeks industry, state, and federal grants and funding opportunities.

Programs of instruction encompass a wide variety of career fields: construction, health science, hospitality, human services, information technology, law and public safety, manufacturing, and transportation.

Current programs include Applied Cybersecurity, Computer Systems and Information Technology, Cosmetology, Electricity, HVAC, Industrial Machinery Controls Technician, Massage Therapy, Medical Assisting, Practical Nursing, Professional Culinary Arts and Hospitality, and Welding Technology. WTC’s Public Safety Training Center provides training and instruction to those individuals seeking a career in public safety via the Correctional Officer and Florida Law Enforcement Academy programs.

Crossover programs in those fields and advanced and specialized training

When it comes to student success, WTC has the current numbers to prove it: completion rate of 88%, placement rate of 85%, and licensure rate of 94% (for programs with licensure requirements).

The college has maintained these rates or higher over the past decade. Satisfaction with the quality of student education is evidenced by the number of employers seeking program completers.

An education from WTC is a quality investment in your future. Don’t wait – enroll now!

Now, as a licensed artist for Warner Bros and Disney, he brings beloved characters to life in a way that captures their spirit and his creative style. His work is filled with storytelling and humor, drawn from inspirations like Chuck Jones, Monet, and John Singer Sargent. Olson’s vision for Citrus County is to make it a hub for arts and entertainment in Florida, and he’s committed to fostering creativity through his roles with the Chuck Jones Foundation of Chicago and the Twistid Arts Initiative. He finds the peaceful nature of the county an ideal backdrop for his creative process, balancing the excitement of his work with a love for kayaking with manatees and enjoying local wildlife.

DANNY BELDEN

Today, he is known for his expertise in cover-ups, an art form that challenges him to view every tattoo as an opportunity for transformation. His passion for creation extends beyond skin art—he also crafts intricate stage props for local high school productions through the Twistid Arts Initiative, which he co-founded, as well as larger scale productions across the state.

His skills as a tattoo artist have honed his ability to balance artistic vision with functional needs, a skill that translates seamlessly to his prop work. Danny envisions a future where his efforts contribute to the growth of Citrus County’s arts scene, particularly through larger commissions and collaborations that will elevate the local theater community.

C U L T U R E i n C I T R U S C O U N T Y n A Journey Through Time

A JOURNEY THROUGH TIME Citrus County is rich in history and culture, with landmarks that tell the stories of its vibrant past.

Join us in exploring a few of the county’s most cherished historical landmarks, each offering a unique glimpse into the area’s heritage and significance.

THE VALERIE THEATRE Located in the heart of Inverness, The Valerie Theatre is a beautifully restored 1920s movie house that serves as a cultural hub for the community. Originally opened in 1926, the theatre played an integral role in the social life of Citrus County, hosting silent films, vaudeville acts, and later, “talkies.” After a period of decline and closure, the theatre was lovingly restored and reopened in 2015. Today, The Valerie Theatre stands as a testament to the community’s dedication to preserving its historical landmarks, offering a venue for films, live performances, and community events, thereby continuing its legacy as a cultural cornerstone.

CRYSTAL RIVER ARCHAEOLOGICAL STATE PARK The Crystal River Archaeological State Park is a window into Florida’s ancient past, showcasing the remains of a prehistoric ceremonial site used by Native American tribes for over 1,600 years.

This National Historic Landmark features burial mounds, temple mounds, and a central plaza, all of which provide valuable insights into the ceremonial practices, trade networks, and daily life of the indigenous peoples who inhabited the area. Visitors to the park can explore the on-site museum, hike trails that offer views of the mounds and the scenic Crystal River, and participate in educational programs that highlight the archaeological significance of this unique site.

YULEE SUGAR MILL RUINS HISTORIC STATE PARK Nestled along the Homosassa River, the Yulee Sugar Mill Ruins tell the story of Florida’s antebellum period and its sugarcane industry. Built in the mid1800s and owned by David Levy Yulee, one of Florida’s first U.S. Senators, the mill processed sugarcane grown on Yulee’s 5,000-acre plantation.

Today, the park features remnants of a steam-driven mill, one of the most advanced sugar processing plants of its time, that processed the sugarcane into syrup, molasses and rum. Remaining structures include a 40-foot limestone masonry chimney, iron gears and a cane press. The mill operated from 1851 to 1864 and served as a supplier of sugar products for Southern troops during the Civil War.

HISTORIC DUVAL-METZ HOUSE The Historic Duval-Metz House, located in downtown Inverness, is a beautifully preserved example of early 20th-century architecture. Built in 1912, the house was originally the residence of one of Citrus County’s prominent families. The home exemplifies the craftsmanship and design aesthetics of its time, featuring wraparound porches, original woodwork, and period furnishings. The Duval-Metz House serves as a museum today, offering visitors a chance to step back in time and experience the elegance of a bygone era. The house is a symbol of the county’s commitment to preserving its architectural heritage and educating future generations about the region’s past.

HISTORIC COURTHOUSE MUSEUM The Historic Courthouse Museum in Inverness is more than just a landmark; it’s a living piece of history. Constructed in 1912, this Classical Revival-style courthouse is one of the county’s most iconic structures. It was the site of many significant events, including the filming of the courtroom scenes for the Elvis Presley movie *Follow That Dream*.

Today, the courthouse is a museum that offers exhibits on local history, from Native American artifacts to displays on the county’s citrus industry. The museum also features a restored courtroom and a rotating gallery of special exhibits, making it a must-visit for history enthusiasts and those looking to learn more about the rich tapestry of Citrus County’s past.

Each of these landmarks tells a story of Citrus County’s rich and diverse history.

By visiting these sites, residents and visitors alike can gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the events and people that have shaped this unique part of Florida.

For years, The Art Center of Citrus County has been a beacon for arts education and community involvement. The Art Center’s Youth Theater Program offers an incredible opportunity for aspiring performers. Through workshops and full-scale productions, children learn the fundamentals of acting, stage design, and scriptwriting. With a focus on both individual growth and teamwork, the program helps young performers gain confidence, express themselves, and bring stories to life on stage.

A newer but rapidly growing force in Citrus County’s arts community, the Twistid Arts Initiative is revolutionizing the way young people engage with the arts locally. Their twoweek summer theater intensive for high schoolers allows our young actors to dive into acting techniques, stagecraft, and collaborative storytelling through daily workshops and rehearsals. Additionally, their Children’s Theatre Summer Program brings a spectacular musical performance to life for kids aged 5-12. Beyond the stage, Twistid Arts also offers year-round art classes for adults and children alike, covering everything from painting techniques to anatomy. The classes are designed to meet each student at their level and ensure a focused, enriched study.

Twistid Arts Initiative Teen Summer Program

Through these programs, Citrus County is ensuring that its artistic future is in good hands. By fostering creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking in young minds, the organizations in our community are not only preparing the next generation of artists but also contributing to a vibrant and evolving arts scene.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE in CITRUS COUNTY n

CITRUS COUNTY

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE The advocacy work of the Chamber Many think of chambers of commerce simply as facilitators for networking, fun events and business marketing. While the Citrus Chamber is indeed that, it is so much more. Behind the scenes, the Citrus County Chamber of Commerce is recognized by the Florida Chamber of Commerce as one of the top advocacy chambers in the state.

The Government Affairs Committee is an involved leadership group that stays abreast of state and local issues that impact the community. The committee regularly solicits feedback from members about the issues that concern and affect their businesses and employees, which then becomes the basis for its annual legislative priorities. Throughout the year, the committee communicates with state and federal legislators and agency officials, and with local officials.

Committee Chair John Murphy explains, “We know our businesses are busy doing the business of their business.

They don’t have time to attend meetings, write letters, and speak at public hearings. That is where the Government Affairs Committee comes in.”

Advocacy has focused on economic development, road and utility infrastructure, workforce development, affordable / attainable housing, property insurance, environmental protection and stewardship, mental health, and issues surrounding poverty and education. Each year during the legislative session, the committee organizes a two-day advocacy trip that brings 100 Chamber and community members to Tallahassee to meet face-to-face with officials.

These trips have successfully helped to promote good legislation and appropriate millions of dollars to better Citrus County.

The Chamber’s Prosperity Citrus Committee actively works with our schools and nonprofit organizations such as United Way, the YMCA, Citrus County Education Foundation, Habitat for Humanity and more to help ensure that our next generation of workforce are also ready to be our next generation of leaders.

The Chamber’s Business Retention & Expansion (BRE) program partners with CareerSource Citrus Levy Marion, as well as with SCORE, SBDC, the College of Central Florida, Withlacoochee Technical College, CORE Business Center, the County’s Economic Development department, and the cities.

BRE reaches out to individual businesses in all fields to learn more about how the Chamber can share information about resources and help with individual needs.

As Mark Wilson, President / CEO of the Florida Chamber, said of the Citrus County Chamber, “Show me a strong local community and I’ll show you a strong local chamber.” The Citrus County Chamber exists to serve.

KEN BRANT Realtor/Associate Broker HELLO FLORIDIANS! I was born and raised in Fenton Michigan just 45 minutes from Ann Arbor. I am a secondgeneration Broker/Realtor and I jumped into Real Estate Full-Time in 2005 and never looked back.

I completed my broker’s license in 2006, then my wife and I bought a Coldwell Banker Real Estate franchise.

We operated this franchise for the next decade and raised our family with real estate being a huge part of our everyday lives. Soon after, Florida was our calling and I now run our businesses, with the support of my wife Shannon, from both states of Michigan and Florida. I love the thrill of real estate and helping home buyers and sellers reach their real estate goals. Whether those goals are relocation, downsizing/upsizing, buying your first home or adding investment opportunities I am the Realtor for you.

I have teamed up with KW Elite Partners II in Citrus County, because I align with their “Best of Real Estate” philosophy for my current and future clients.

If you need someone to think outside the box and work diligently for you then look no further. My goals in Florida are similar to the ones I carried as a Michigan R.E. broker – to know the local R.E. Market better than anyone, to be community minded and driven, and to be your professional through integrity and trust.

I have helped thousands of families work towards their homeownership dreams and I would love to work for you and yours. So, whether it’s the beautiful Nature Coast of Florida or the Heart of Michigan, I am here to be your professional.

Catch up with you soon. If you see me or Shannon around town supporting our amazing Chamber of Commerce events and/or local businesses and organizations please make sure you say “Hi” and say “Hey I saw your Citrus County ad”.

Ken Brant

I look forward to meeting you.

From the Great Lakes State of Michigan to the Great Nature Coast of Florida, I’m the Realtor for you!
