Tallahassee celebrates its rich history and local business achievements in 2024.
In 2024, Tallahassee celebrates its 200th anniversary by honoring local businesses that have achieved significant milestones. From TC Federal Bank’s impressive asset growth to the community service of the Tallahassee Orthopedic Clinic and the cultural contributions of the Florida State University School of Dance, there’s much to be proud of. Additional highlights include the launch of TC Bakery, the merger of Envision Credit Union with Addition Financial, and Amazon’s fruitful first year in the city, promising a bright future filled with community spirit and entrepreneurial success.
This year, the charming city of Tallahassee is bursting with pride as it marks its 200th anniversary. Celebrations are happening all year long, with a spotlight on the resilient local businesses that have stood the test of time and challenges. It’s such an exciting time for the community, and there’s so much to share!
Tallahassee is home to numerous businesses that have reached remarkable milestones, proving their strength and commitment to serving the community. TC Federal Bank, for example, has come a long way since it first opened its doors as a savings and loan institution in 1934. Now, it proudly manages about $520 million in assets while staying dedicated to community service and support.
Speaking of remarkable journeys, the Florida State University School of Dance has been a cornerstone of artistic excellence since its inception. It has produced countless talented graduates, including the renowned Nancy Smith. The school has evolved over the years, now offering both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in dance, enriched by influential contributions from famed choreographers like Martha Graham. All of this is thanks in part to the vision of Nellie-Bond Dickinson, who taught modern dance at FSU when it was still viewed as unconventional. What an incredible legacy!
In the realm of health services, the Tallahassee Orthopedic Clinic is celebrating an impressive 50 years of caring for the community. Last year alone, they treated over 270,000 patients and are now planning to expand their services further, ensuring greater accessibility for all. Meanwhile, the Bond Community Health Center has provided vital care to its community for 40 years, focusing primarily on uninsured patients. Their dedication to helping those in need is truly commendable.
On the fun side of things, The Moon, a beloved local music venue, is celebrating its 40th anniversary. With over 3,370 events hosted since its opening, it has become a community hub for music and enjoyment. Not far behind, Riccardo’s Restaurant has been delighting families with its home-cooked Italian meals for 25 years, proving its worth as a cherished eatery.
Education is also thriving in Tallahassee, with the Cornerstone Learning Community committed to nurturing well-rounded students from preschool to middle school for several years. It’s heartwarming to see such dedication to fostering the next generation.
In the financial sector, Envision Credit Union, which started with a vision by local teachers, is merging with Addition Financial Credit Union, ensuring that their legacy of serving over 63,000 members continues strong. Similarly, Ruvos, a healthcare technology company, is celebrating 20 years of contributions, especially notable during the COVID-19 pandemic.
A new addition to the culinary scene is TC Bakery, which has made history as the first black female-owned bakery at Tallahassee International Airport. Their commitment to diversity and empowerment in entrepreneurship is a wonderful step for the local economy. You can find their delightful products in various local stores and restaurants, including Piggly Wiggly and, of course, the airport!
As we continue to celebrate business milestones, Prestige Cleaners has made quite a name for itself over 40 years. They recently showed their strength after overcoming a flood situation, proving that resilience is at the heart of Tallahassee’s local businesses. Other noteworthy mentions include Ingram Accounting and Consulting LLC celebrating 30 years of service and Tiger Rock Martial Arts fostering character in its students for the same duration.
Lastly, let’s not forget about Amazon! They completed their first year of operations in Tallahassee, now employing over 2,000 people and investing more than $200 million into the local economy. Such growth promises an exciting future for this evolving city.
With the 200th anniversary celebrations and these inspiring business achievements, Tallahassee is clearly a place where community spirit and local enterprises shine.
