Scott Addresses Gulf Power Symposium, Announces Economic Grants
October 4, 2011
Florida Gov. Rick Scott’s message was clear Monday during Gulf Power’s Annual Economic Symposium in Miramar Beach – Florida is open for business.
The first term governor said there is no reason for companies to locate in Alabama or Georgia instead of Northwest Florida.
Scott also announced nearly $2.5 million in defense grants to local communities and organizations which support Florida military installations — including $300,000 to the Pensacola Bay Area Chamber of Commerce and $257,726 to TEAM Santa Rosa.
“I am proud that Florida continues to support our military bases, military service members and their families, and the defense industry through the defense grant programs,” said Scott. “Additionally, these programs work to protect a $65 billion economic impact, and the over 686,181 direct and indirect jobs, which the defense industry annually infuses into Florida.”
