April 29th, 2011, Per Robert Severin, a Key West top producing Realtor. This is great news for both our local businesses but also our residents.
When asked to elaborate, Robert remarked, More people coming to the Keys means more jobs plus more tax revenue is being generated which trickles down to our local government services. It also spurs new business growth which helps our residents with even more choices. The bottom line to all this is that the Keys are alive and well and have a vibrant economy which is in fact outpacing the rest of the state.
