Florida magazine starts business publication

Indian River Magazine in Florida has started Treasure Coast Business, a quarterly magazine serving St. Lucie, Martin, Indian River and Okeechobee counties.

A story on its website states, “The magazine was launched under a unique partnership between Indian River Magazine Inc. and the Florida Small Business Development Center at Indian River State College.

“‘The purpose of the magazine is to give business leaders, owners and operators of snapshot of the Treasure Coast economic environment to enable them to make decisions to maintain and grow their businesses,’’ said Indian River Magazine Inc. President Gregory Enns.

“With newspapers across the country cutting back on local business coverage over the last decade, the new magazine helps fill in the gap, Enns said.

“The magazine utilizes the talents of the professional journalists from the Indian River Magazine staff and the business experts from the Florida Small Business Development Center who have extensive experience assisting small businesses with virtually any issue that arises. The lead writer for the inaugural issue was Bernie Woodall, a 21-year business writer for Reuters.”
