The City of Dunedin has always been proud of providing the community with a high level of municipal services, commercial goods and services, and employment and housing opportunities that have resulted in a sense of community and a high quality of life. Economic development facilitates the creation and maintenance of this quality of life through a strong tax base and a healthy local economy.

The Department facilitates partnerships to promote the cultural institutions and businesses of Dunedin to regional and international visitors and works closely with the Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Merchant's Association and Visitors Bureau and other organizations to promote cultural attractions and businesses in Dunedin. We also strive to give all Dunedin citizens an opportunity to contribute and experience the joy of participating in meaningful community activities.

Economic Development is not new to Dunedin. Through years of master planning, Dunedin has seen a renaissance downtown and is beginning to look at ways to stimulate economic development city wide.

For more information on development opportunities, with complete confidentiality, contact: Robert Ironsmith, Economic Development Director, 727-298-3204.

Affordable Housing
The City of Dunedin partners with Pinellas County Community Development, Pinellas County Housing Authority and Habitat for Humanity to bring affordable housing initiatives to our great City. We strive to provide quality affordable housing opportunities to a variety of individuals and families that otherwise would not be able to achieve home ownership.
