However, there is one component to the Sanford Story many residents may not think about. Sanford strives to become a major employment center in the region. Many Florida towns concentrate on the quality of life for residents, as does Sanford. But our local businesses are also stakeholders in the community. Businesses help balance the City’s tax base and provide employment opportunities to our residents. Having a diverse and balanced business sector is also good news for Sanford residents because it provides more choices. For instance, having more food and beverage establishments means more opportunity to experience unique and delicious food.
