Pensacola Development InformationPensacola is known for its many military facilities such as U.S. Naval and Air Force bases. These facilities have attracted business developments from hi-tech companies such as L-3, CSC, General Dynamic, Raethon, and Booz Allen. The city of Pensacola recently celebrated its 450th year and is proud to be the home of the state’s oldest ballet company and symphony orchestra. Newsweek ranked Pensacola 21st in the nation for “Best High Schools”, thus signifying its strong education system. Its excellent beaches alongside the shores of the Gulf of Mexico make Pensacola a great resort and tourism city. It is easy to see why over 1 million residents of the tri-county have chosen to live and work in Pensacola..

Founded in 1889, the Chamber is committed to promoting, improving and enchancing the Pensacola Bay Area throuth responsible economic development, community involvement and unity of private and public sectors.
