More Hispanic entrepreneurs choose Ocala - Florida

Colon opened his Little New York restaurant in the Pine Plaza shopping center about two months ago. A native of Puerto Rico, Colon is one of an increasing number of Hispanic entrepreneurs who see Ocala as a land of opportunity.

“It’s up and coming,” Colon said of the area. “I see Ocala building and getting stronger.”

Marion County is a magnet for entrepreneurs fleeing the high cost of living in South Florida and elsewhere, said Lola Gonzalez, chairwoman of the Hispanic Business Council of the Ocala/Marion County Chamber of Commerce.”*
