Quality of LifeSt. Johns County: An environment for life.
Abundant sunshine, coastal breezes, and mild seasonal changes set the backdrop for our inspired community. With 43 miles of beaches to our east, the glorious St. Johns River to our west, and dozens of expansive parks and cultural resources to explore in between, St. Johns County has attracted an energetic workforce that is stable and satisfied.
"St. Johns County combines a friendly business climate with a great place to live and to raise a family. Many of our employees choose to live in the county which eliminates long commutes and lets them take advantage of the outstanding school system. The overall quality of life helps us attract and retain a higher caliber workforce, and the climate and setting make this an ideal place to host and to entertain our sponsors."
- Charlie Zink, Co-Chief Operating Officer, PGA Tour
