Martin County boasts tens of thousands of acres of citrus.
There are five Chambers of Commerce, an Economic Council and a Business Development Board. They work with local and state agencies to broaden the county's economic base by attracting new industry and assisting existing industry to expand. Agriculture also plays a big part in our economy as Martin is ranked fifth in the state in citrus and vegetable production. Western Martin County has more than 40,000 acres of citrus, producing oranges, grapefruit and lemons marketed under the famous Indian River label. There are zoned industrial parks, with infrastructure in place, throughout the area as well as several thousands of acres available, particularly around the interchanges for Florida's turnpike and interstate 95, awaiting the entrepreneur looking for business opportunities and quality of life the area has to offer.
