One company's plans to expand and relocate will create a batch of new Sarasota jobs.
Sunovia Energy Technologies Inc. recently announced its plans relocate the company from Manatee County to Sarasota County, a move that will triple the company's operations and create 68 new jobs within the next three years.
Sunovia will move from its current 5,500-square-foot operation to 18,000 square feet of space in the Centennial Commerce Center. Company officials said the move is the result of needing more space and wanting a more centralized location.
The company currently employs 20 workers and is expanding in order to meet growing demand for its products, according to the Sarasota Herald-Tribune. Employees to be hired will include those in sales, engineering, manufacturing and operations personnel.
Sarasota County will offer Sunovia a performance-based incentive grant, which could total $100,000 over three years if the company adds jobs and provides and average annual wage that's higher than the county average. The Economic Development Corporation of Sarasota County also is offering incentives to the company.
"Sunovia Energy Technologies is an innovative, green-industry company that offers the high-quality jobs we need in Sarasota County," Kathy Baylis, EDCSC president and CEO, said.
Sunovia designs, develops and markets highly efficient renewable energy and energy conservation products in the solar and light-emitting diodes industries. The company has sold its products to the private industry, city and county governments, as well as the military.
"Cities and neighborhoods everywhere are either considering or actively installing LED lighting," Sunovia Chief Executive Carl Smith said. "Our EvoLucia LED lights provide the highest-quality illumination while reducing energy use, maintenance costs and carbon emissions."
