Business Climate
After several years of strong growth in the residential market, Apalachicola is now poised for a surge in commercial growth. Downtown Apalachicola is undergoing a renaissance. Every year between 1.5 and 2 million visitors arrive on St. George Island. Another one-half to three quarters of a million visitors are vacationing on Cape San Blas and Indian Pass. During their stay nearly all of these tourists will come to Apalachicola to eat and to shop. The demand for goods and services outpaces the supply. The retail atmosphere in Apalachicola is incredibly exciting. For the same reason that these vacationers avoid crowded beaches with high-rise condominiums, they appreciate the experience of boutique shopping in a friendly, small town atmosphere. The charm of downtown Apalachicola is unmatched by any shopping center.
