Nine distinct communities accommodate more than 320,000 residents in the Bradenton Area, which is located in Manatee County on the south side of Tampa Bay just north of Sarasota. Incorporated municipalities include Bradenton and Palmetto on the mainland; Anna Maria, Bradenton Beach, Holmes Beach, and Longboat Key on the Gulf islands; and the unincorporated communities of Ellenton, Lakewood Ranch and Parrish in the north, central and eastern parts of the 741-square-mile county.

Locations for business are as varied as the businesses themselves. From vacant land and sophisticated business park settings to quaint retail districts, the Bradenton Area offers reasonably priced options close to neighborhood and lifestyle amenities that executives and employees desire.

Efficient supply chain and logistics are enabled by excellent highway systems, the deep water seaport at Port Manatee, and three international airports within an hour’s drive, including Sarasota-Bradenton International located within minutes from thousands of business locations.
