Florida Commissioner of Agriculture Wilton Simpson, along with Senate President Ben Albritton, Senator Corey Simon, Tallahassee Mayor John Dailey, and Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) employees this week to celebrate the groundbreaking of FDACS’ new, state-of-the-art facility at the Conner Complex in Tallahassee.
“The new facility is more than just a building – it’s a symbol of FDACS’ commitment to Florida’s agricultural community and consumers,” said Commissioner Simpson. “With spaces to facilitate training, collaboration, and emergency response, the facility will serve as a hub for our mission to support and promote Florida agriculture, protect the environment, safeguard consumers, ensure the safety and wholesomeness of food, and so much more.”

After its completion in late 2027, the 256,000-square-foot facility will consolidate approximately 940 FDACS employees across 13 divisions in a single location, enhancing operational efficiency and collaboration. The facility is expected to save more than $70 million over the next 30 years.
