Tallahassee Has Big Plans
By:Patrice Rush
Restaurants, new shopping plazas and mom and pop stores will not only bring revenue and tourists into Tallahassee, but also new jobs.
The City of Tallahassee has invited over 20 different entrepreneurs and company owners to build their stores here in the city.
These new businesses will be able to hire residents from all over the county, leaving Tallahassee with a decrease in unemployment.
The unemployment rate in Tallahassee for 2013 is 6.9 percent,which 2.7 percentage points lower than the rate in 2010, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
BJ’s Brewhouse, a restaurant located on Apalachee Pkwy, recently opened this October. Since then they have hired over 20 staff members to join their team.
“ I believe this is just what Tallahassee has been looking for,” said Demetrius Wright, an employee at BJ’s Brew House. “ I haven’t been able to find a job so quickly before.”
