share the community’s vision of creating on an
environment for economic growth. The community is
seeking to capitalize on its “natural aesthetics, unique
coastal assets, regional links, and strong industries” to
“attract, expand, and retain regional and global
businesses” – and the firm will be there to help preserve
a pro-growth environment, join in those recruitment efforts
and be there to meet new entrants’ legal needs in
organization and operations.
More than ever given the documented success of Florida’s
public and charter schools, Tripp Scott’s education
practice teams is eager to participate in the community’s
proposed “partnerships with business, community, and
educational institutions to increase investment in the
educational development of youth and adults.”
And as a strong proponent and promoter of community-
building policy at every level, Tripp Scott will be proud to
support the community’s commitment to leading government
that manages resources wisely and sustainably.
In other words, in the next 50 years, as in its first half
century, Tripp Scott will continue to live out its promise to
create and sustain the capabilities needed to support a
growing and forward-focused Fort Lauderdale. RV

the stories of other Rio Vista ‘Neighbors & Friends’, i.e.
professional firms and businesses with ties to our Rio Vista
neighborhood who have made important and significant
contributions to the growth and development of Fort
Lauderdale over at least the past three decades. We welcome
and appreciate your suggestions and ideas for such stories.
