Labelle, Florida – Supportive of New Businesses & Growth
We believe Labelle, Florida deserves to rank among the best places to live in Florida because of the town’s support of new businesses. This is an important consideration when moving to any new area, especially for entrepreneurs and investors.
Here’s our reasons for ranking Labelle so high in this area.
Small Business Friendly:
We give Labelle, Florida a 10/10 for it’s openness and support of new businesses.
A quote from the Hendry County Economic Development website:
“Beyond sugar and citrus, we are a place of small and family owned businesses, where everyone knows everyone, with plenty of room for growth and opportunities.”
Enterprise Florida ranked our state as the number one business destination (December 2022)
Because Florida remained open and small businesses were protected, Florida’s economy continued to flourish, remaining on an upward trend through all of 2022, providing jobs and opportunities to all of our state’s communities.
As Florida’s economy continued to grow (while much of the nation was on hold) it set us up for a strong business future.
“Florida’s economy is outpacing the nation for the second consecutive year because we have invested in our workforce and prioritized keeping Floridians at work and businesses open. As the new year approaches, we will continue investing in our workforce and infrastructure to create jobs and keep our economy moving forward.” – Governor Ron Desantis, December 2022

The annual gala is a fundraising country western event with live music (Nashville artists!) that’s put together every year to benefit the SWFL Heroes Foundation.
