🌟 Building Bartow’s Future Starts Here 🌟

The Bartow Economic Development Council is proud to support Miescula Montessori as they invest in a 57,000 sq. ft. state‑of‑the‑art educational facility right here in our community. Projects like this aren’t just buildings — they’re long‑term commitments to Bartow’s families, workforce, and economic strength.

Every square foot invested in Bartow fuels local jobs, supports small businesses, and strengthens the foundation for our future workforce. With more than 215,000 sq. ft. of new business investment in the past year alone, Bartow continues to prove that it’s a smart, strategic place to grow.

Thriving Thursday Spotlight: Evolve Contracting 🌟

This week, we’re proud to highlight Evolve Contracting, a family-owned company that has been serving Bartow and the surrounding communities since 2010.

Through high-quality landscaping and hardscaping services, they enhance residential neighborhoods, commercial properties, and HOA communities, improving curb appeal, protecting property values, and contributing to the overall look and feel of our city.

When local companies like Evolve Contracting thrive, Bartow thrives. Their long-standing commitment to quality work and customer care reflects the strength of our small business community and the pride people take in keeping Bartow attractive, welcoming, and growing.

Bartow isn’t waiting for progress — we’re building it.

More than 215,600 square feet of new commercial space is already underway because smart companies are choosing Bartow with real investment.

And here’s what that means for taxpayers:

A stronger commercial tax base, more local jobs, and less pressure on homeowners.

Every square foot built by private industry helps fund the services families rely on without increasing the residential load.

Make Bartow Your Smart Move for Business.

A Message from the BEDC

As our community grows, so does our responsibility to maintain a space that reflects the Bartow we say we are — respectful, constructive, and community‑minded. That standard starts here.

Effective immediately, this page will enforce strict social media guidelines.

We will not allow:

• Cussing or vulgar language
• Personal attacks, name‑calling, or mocking individuals
• Harassment, bullying, or antagonistic behavior
• Comments meant to stir conflict instead of contribute to solutions

People deserve basic respect — whether it’s in their job, in a community moment, as a resident, or as a representative serving Bartow. The work isn’t always visible, and it doesn’t always move as fast as people want, but the effort is real. People work hard every single day to make things happen for this community.

If this approach doesn’t align with what you’re looking for, it’s okay — this page may not be the right fit for you.

From this point forward:

• Comments that violate these guidelines will be removed.
• Repeated violations will result in being blocked from this page.
• There will be no exceptions

This page is meant to inform and keep the community up to date. We’re here to highlight progress, share accurate information, and celebrate the people who make Bartow stronger every day. That’s the Bartow we know — and that’s the standard we’re committed to protecting.

Thank you.
