Plantation is Convenient – close to everything
The City of Plantation is located in the geographic center of Broward County and the entire South Florida region. Your customers have access to the City via four major highways: the Florida Turnpike, Interstate 95, Interstate 595 and Interstate 75/Sawgrass Expressway.  Additionally, Plantation’s proximity to the Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport and Port Everglades links businesses to both national and international markets.

Local businesses have realized the benefits of this successful mix. With some of the shortest average commute times in the South Florida region, companies are able to attract quality employees from Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. However, most are able to fulfill their employment needs from right here in Plantation.

Plantation companies enjoy the availability of a wide range of educational opportunities available at the nearby South Florida Educational Center, which is comprised of four universities, a community college, and vocational center.  Additionally, two private colleges are located within our City limits. Management level employees, in particular, are attracted to the availability of many accredited graduate, doctoral and post-graduate programs.

Plantation’s Amenities make weekends profitable, too!
For both businesses and residents alike, Plantation offers all the amenities of a metropolitan city, but with the safety, security and lush green environment of a smaller community. There is an abundance of parks and recreation facilities available for your next party or corporate meeting, nationally recognized athletics programs, two Olympic-sized swimming pools, tennis courts and golf courses, bike paths and green trails.  An assortment of superior hotel accommodations is available with meeting and conference facilities, and restaurants ranging from conventional to exotic.

For sports fans, within a short drive you can watch professional football, baseball, basketball and hockey teams in action.  And nationally recognized recreation programs provide Plantation’s youth with the training, experience and sportsmanship skills to become the professionals of tomorrow. 

If shopping is your “sport,” we have that, too.  Large retail shopping centers and hundreds of smaller specialty stores throughout the City offer clothing, shoes, accessories, sporting goods, food, automotive accessories, hardware and much, much more.
