Clear Springs is located squarely in the middle of Florida's High Tech Corridor (FHTC). The Corridor and its guiding council was established by the State’s Legislature in 1996 with a mission to attract, retain and foster the growth of high tech companies. An important part of its mission is workforce training carried out in conjunction with the State’s leading universities (University of Central Florida; University of South Florida; University of Florida). Companies doing business in the FHTC have access to local, regional and state government resources and incentives including workforce training/retraining programs. Operationally the FHTC has a sector focus targeting incentives to businesses in the following categories:

Through 2004 the FHTC Council has created numerous partnerships based on their strategic approach to high-tech economic development that resulted in over $120 million in matched research programs benefiting companies, employees and universities within the Corridor. In addition to matched research programs, the Council fosters workforce development and marketing programs along with other programs aimed at leveraging governmental, economic development organizations and corporate budgets on a regional basis.

Locating a high tech business at Clear Springs means you will be surrounded by a vitally alive high tech community.
