Small business owners have to juggle

a lot of demands. Just ask April

Salter, owner of public relations firm

Salter-Mitchell. Making a difference

for her clients and employees keeps

her busy 24-7, so she can’t afford to

let bureaucracy or unnecessary costs

slow her down.

That’s why she trusted First

Commerce to refinance her office

building with an SBA loan at a much

more competitive rate.

NOW THAT’S

LOCAL STRONG

“I feel like First Commerce

cares. The loan rates are very

competitive and it helps to know

you only need to make one

phone call to get things done.”

At First Commerce we aren’t

afraid to embrace ingenuity.

That’s why we partnered with

Matt Thompson and Brian

McKenna, managing partners of

Tallahassee’s trendy new Madison

Social restaurant and bar.

They renovated a 6,000 sq. ft.

industrial space using reclaimed

wood, brick interiors and

modern fixtures.

“It was the loan

process that sealed

the deal for us.

With the help we

received, it was a no

LIVE LOCAL

When a property owner filed for

bankruptcy in one of the complexes

managed by Summit Group, the real

estate development firm saw an

opportunity to give the distressed

property a second chance. But

with a big bank foreclosing on the

property, Summit Group needed

to move fast.

Thanks to quick processing of a

commercial loan at First Commerce,

Summit Group was able to secure

the property until they could resell

it for a profit.

“We didn’t have to go

through three different

layers to get approved.

First Commerce makes

local decisions and knows

the local economy.”

Editorial Themes and Special Sections

SPRING

The MilitaryMilitary installations are sprinkled throughout the 850 zone. Each has a significant economic impact on the counties that play host to them. Are their futures secure? How are their missions likely to evolve? What new capabilities will the replacement facilities at Tyndall Air Force Base include? How do chambers of commerce and the installations interact? What are economic development alliances and private sector employers doing to attract highly skilled personnel as they exit the military? How have the bases affected the ascendancy of aerospace contracting as a growing economic component in the Panhandle?

Special Sales Section: Escambia County Business Journal, Gadsden County Business Journal

SUMMER

SustainabilityNorthwest Florida’s growing population will place added strains on natural resources and on public utilities and other essential systems. What changes and strategies will power and water suppliers employ to maintain the viability and reliability of systems? What role will alternative sources of energy play? What actions will be taken to conserve water and manage/reduce waste streams? How will businesses be affected by all of this?

Special Sales Section: Santa Rosa Business Journal, Okaloosa/Walton County Business Journal

FALL

Trends in Higher EdNot long ago, the percentage of students moving on to pursue degrees at four-year institutions was an important metric by which high schools and community colleges were measured. Times have changed. Today, the preferred measure is “attainment,” the percentage of students who earn post-secondary certificates, associate’s degrees or bachelor’s degrees. Lots of students now are opting for certificate programs with high job-placement rates versus four-year programs. And increasingly businesses are shaping the courses and programs that schools offer. Curriculum delivery systems are changing. Does stand-and-deliver classroom instruction have a future?

Special Sales Section: Bay County Business Journal, Professional Profiles

WINTER

What’s Next?Advances in communication technologies, the arrival of new rounds of automation, and practical applications of robotics and artificial intelligence are all affecting workplaces and, frankly, where people go to find work and the skill sets sought by employers. What is the extent and effect of these disrupters? Who are the winners and losers? What opportunities are being created? What additional disrupters are on the horizon?
