The Boyd Co., a corporate site selection firm, says
North Port has emerged as a center of economic

in the country.
North Port’s Parks & Recreation Department
earned accreditation through the Commission for
Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies and
the National Recreation and Park Association. Fewer
than 2% of the 12,000 parks and recreation agencies
nationwide earn this distinction.
