One Okaloosa Economic Development Council announced on Wednesday that the organization’s Relocation Portal has been expanded to include a Preferred Service Provider Directory.

The service providers listed within the searchable directory fall within the following 10 categories:

Accountants, Bookkeepers and Financial Planners
Architects, Civil Engineers, Planners & Surveyors
Attorneys & Title Companies
Banks & Credit Unions
Healthcare
Homebuilders & Residential Developers
Insurance, Benefits and HR Consulting
Residential Realtors & Property Managers
Schools & Colleges
Utilities

The reason: Many local companies regularly recruit personnel from outside the area. To help with recruiting, One Okaloosa’s Relocation Portal was created. The portal includes:

Jobs board spotlighting local employment opportunities in select sectors
Information on public/private schools
Healthcare options
Real estate
Arts & culture
Information targeted to transitioning military personnel

“The Relocation Portal has been well-utilized, especially over the past year as the local labor market has tightened,” stated Nathan Sparks, One Okaloosa EDC Executive Director. “With the addition of the Preferred Service Provider Directory, we aim to connect individuals moving to our area with an impressive array of professional services that they may be in need of as they get settled in their new community.”

According to Sparks, this is another way that One Okaloosa can spotlight some of the service providers that support One Okaloosa.
