Osceola County Manager Don Fisher shares how bold investments in education and infrastructure are helping reshape the county’s economic future. He highlights the Osceola Prosper program, which offers full scholarships to all high school graduates for Valencia College or Osceola Technical College, regardless of income or academic performance. The initiative includes flexible attendance options and workforce-aligned programs like semiconductor training, supported by partnerships with Valencia and the creation of Neo City Academy, a top-rated STEM high school.

Don also discusses the county’s broader economic strategy, focused on diversifying beyond tourism and agriculture by attracting high-tech industries and boosting job creation. With a long-term vision that includes future cities and an international airport, Don is committed to improving Osceola’s regional standing while reducing unemployment and expanding opportunity for residents.
