The City of Hollywood is proud to celebrate Economic Development Week, May 11-17, 2025! We recognize the vital contributions of our local businesses and city initiatives in driving job creation, career growth, and community prosperity.
From bustling storefronts along our iconic beach Boardwalk to the thriving commercial corridors within our neighborhoods, more than 6,000 diverse businesses are the core of our community. They create jobs, drive innovation, and contribute to the unique character that makes Hollywood such a desirable place to live, work, and visit.
The City’s Economic Development team is dedicated to supporting this dynamic ecosystem with resources and services to help businesses thrive.
During Economic Development Week and beyond, we thank our business owners and entrepreneurs for their investment and hard work, which are essential to Hollywood’s economic vitality. We are committed to their continued success.
Important Reminder: Hurricane Preparedness is Key
As we celebrate, we also emphasize the critical importance of hurricane preparedness. With the season starting June 1st, businesses must act now to protect their assets and ensure operational continuity. The City of Hollywood’s Business Recovery Center is a vital resource for post-disaster support, offering assistance with recovery, financial aid, and rebuilding.
We urge all businesses to develop disaster preparedness plans, secure assets, and back up important data. Familiarize yourselves with the Business Recovery Center, which is located at the Boulevard Heights Community Center at 6770 Garfield Street, to mitigate potential hurricane impacts and ensure long-term viability.
For more information on the Business Recovery Center and city business programs, contact the Office of Communications, Marketing and Economic Development at 954.921.3620 or visit www.choosehollywoodfl.com.
