Where are the World's Most Admired Companies?

Raymond James Financial selected Pasco County for a 200,000 square foot expansion of its Tampa Bay operations. The initial phase of the project is expected to create 750 new jobs. The Pasco County Board of County Commissioners approved an aggressive package of incentives to make the Wiregrass location their obvious choice in Tampa Bay. In addition to the initial 200,000 square feet of office space, Raymond James Financial  secured enough property to complete a future build-out that could total 1,000,000 square feet.
