Jay Phillip Parker

CEO of Brokerage, Florida Region

Douglas Elliman

I’ve been doing interviews with Invest: for almost 10 years now. I really appreciate and admire the work that you guys do, and I’m glad to be a part of this report once again. You bring great value to the table by showcasing the main market players in Palm Beach and the South Florida region.

Branch Banking Market Leader for KY/TN + NC

U.S. Bank

The publication is fantastic! I oversee several markets and there is always the network of influential people, but there is no centralized place to interact, and that is exactly what you provide. It enhances the work each of us are doing.

It’s definitely a fine piece — quality material, quality content. The weight of the book helps it stick around. Other materials tend to disappear from our community spaces within 90 days, but this one sticks. I still have every edition going back to 2022, when I was first introduced to the magazine. That longevity says a lot.

Steve Smith

Executive Vice President

McKenney's

You are covering a broad aspect of the market from different perspectives — local leaders, various sides of business, and the people building, using, and funding things. It’s a solid cross-section of perspectives that overlaps with the part of the community actually doing the building. You do as good a job, or better, than anyone else.

Keith Stanley

President & CEO

University City Partners

The business journal and other groups do a great job, but they tend to focus more on what’s happening right now. What’s helpful about your publication is that it gives a bigger-picture view across counties and across the year. It’s important to see those long-term trends.

William Haygood III

Principal

Boundary Street Advisors

I love the event. I don’t think I had been to it before I was in it, so that was new for me—but it was well attended and had a high-energy feel. That’s always something you want to be a part of. There were some great people in the room, and when you feel like you belong, that makes a big difference.

Matthew Rhoten

County Manager

Gaston County

People don’t always choose where they live, but many do — and when they choose to live here, they’re choosing to invest. I want to make sure they’re getting a good return on that investment. A publication like this helps us tell that story so they can decide for themselves whether that’s true.

Rodney Crider

President & CEO

Rowan EDC

When I first received it, I spent a lot of time going through it — seeing what others were saying and how we were all aligned, which we seemed to be, at least in this area. So, yes, I thought it was really well done.

Dennis Marstall

County Administrator

Lancaster County

The content portrayed in this publication is great. I like that you cover multiple markets across the country. In fact, we shared some of your content with our local partnerships.

Mark Collins

Chief Strategy Officer

OneHealth

The publication is phenomenal—there’s a lot to digest. It’s not just a simple sit-down read, and it’s not just for healthcare. It’s great to see other sectors represented. The growth section up front was especially strong—we’re feeling that in our practice. I also really enjoyed the time we had last year to get everyone together in one place. We received great feedback on that.

A.J. Klenk

Managing Partner

Catalyst Capital Partners

I think it’s quite valuable—for those already living and working here, and for those considering it. Having insights from business leaders across various sectors, along with the basic regional stats, is incredibly helpful for anyone with interest in this area.

Kregg Cuellar

Superintendent

Spring ISD

This is a very professional publication. I see a lot of my colleagues here that have been a part of the work. I saw Walter Jackson, Felicia Adams, Matthew Neighbors, and a lot of great, great leaders from Houston that have already been a part of this, so that's exciting.
