# Palm Beach County Renews Economic Development Contract

On September 29, 2026, Palm Beach County commissioners approved a five-year, $9.1 million renewal with the Business Development Board of Palm Beach County to attract and retain businesses. The agreement continues the established funding level at $1.8 million annually through 2030; the county has not announced an open solicitation, so this action represents continued funding for the current program rather than a new near-term bid opportunity.

- The Business Development Board remains the awardee under the renewed agreement, with annual funding continuing at the existing level.
- Procurement teams and contractors should distinguish this renewal from a competitive solicitation; the signal identifies no new procurement opportunity or proposal deadline.
- Businesses involved in the county’s economic-development work can account for continued board activity through 2030 when planning engagement, but should not treat the renewal itself as an invitation to bid.
