Advantages
Because the park is located in Alachua County, property is
less costly than if it were located in the middle of a major
metropolitan area. Low price is a key consideration for younger
companies who would rather invest in their actual research
and production costs than in an expensive parcel of land.
 Located
in the middle of North Central Florida, Progress Corporate
Park is minutes away from I-75, providing quick access to
the University of Florida, Gainesville Regional Airport, and
downtown Gainesville. It is also just 2 hours away from major
hubs such as Tampa, Jacksonville, Orlando and Tallahassee.
North Central Florida is the only location in such close proximity
to so many major Florida cities.
Internationally renowned as a research institution, the University
of Florida has maintained a strong commitment to Progress
Corporate Park since its inception. The university owns parcels
of land within the park, including the Sid Martin Biotechnology
Development Incubator, a new business incubator, and the Large
Animal Facility. Businesses joining the community have instant
access to the university's leading experts in science, technology,
and business development.

The area's quality of life can prove a major recruiting tool
when trying to attract top employees to your business. Nearby
Gainesville was named Money Magazine's number one city in
1995, and Alachua and its environs are well  known
for their relaxed, friendly pace. The park is also situated
adjacent to San Felasco State Park, where owners and tenants
often ride and enjoy the trails and natural beauty of Florida.
