Enterprise Florida is the lead economic development organization for the state of Florida.
Enterprise Florida Annual Report FY 2011-2012
Phot
o: NA
SA
“Florida is receiving a lot of attention from companies that want to move to our business-friendly climate as well as from current in-state companies desiring to expand here. The reason is that we’ve lowered business taxes and are eliminating regulations that restrict the ability to grow. Enterprise Florida works hard to capitalize on this interest. What also helps is that Florida’s economy is strengthening: unemployment is down, tourism is up, exports are up, home prices are up, home sales are up, and new home construction is up. My administration and Enterprise Florida look forward to bringing more job opportunities to all our citizens.”
“Creating jobs to get citizens back to work is one of the most important issues Florida faces. Enterprise Florida facilitated the creation of 25,339 jobs through competitive projects this past year, but we still have a lot of work to do. The more jobs we create, there’s less dependence on state services, private investment flourishes, entrepreneurship expedites and the state’s overall standard of living improves.”
“This past year, our team succeeded in building the strong economic development partnerships needed to identify and win more competitive projects, strengthen international trade and sports development programs, and make it easier to do business in Florida. Our mission is to build on these results to elevate Florida’s economy into the most vibrant in the nation.”

TampaPROJECT BLUEFIN | Time WarnerTime Warner will bring 500 jobs with annual wages averaging $50,000 to the Tampa area for the company’s new shared services center. Time Warner is making a $5 million capital investment into this project. Many of the positions will be in the areas of human resources and information technology.
“Time Warner looked at possible sites all across the nation, but we ultimately decided that the state of Florida was the best place to locate our new facility,” said Time Warner Chief Financial and Administrative Officer John Martin. “Florida has so much to offer, including a talented workforce, great beaches and most important to us, a great place to do business. You have created a business environment where we can feel good about investing today with an eye towards growing in the future.”
JacksonvillePROJECT OPAL | Bi-Lo Winn-DixieBI-LO and Winn Dixie announced Jacksonville as the site of their newly combined company headquarters, which will house 100 new high-wage jobs and retain about 900. This project marks a $93 million capital investment by BI-LO and Winn-Dixie.
“Jacksonville is centrally located within our eight-state operating area, with an existing infrastructure that is best positioned to host the combined BI-LO and Winn-Dixie support center, corporate office and distribution facilities. We look forward to being a contributor to the community, while also maintaining a support presence in Greenville, South Carolina.”
GainesvillePROJECT ARBOR | MindTree LimitedGainesville was chosen by MindTree Limited as the locale for its U.S. expansion. MindTree is a global IT and product engineering company that is co-headquartered in Warren, N.J. and Bangalore, India. Aside from a $2.9 million capital investment, 400 new jobs during the next five years will boost that area’s economy as well.
“The Southeast is an untapped region for MindTree from a talent and client acquisition standpoint. Setting up our first major U.S. Development Center in Florida gives us a foothold into this region,” said Scott Staples, Americas president for MindTree Limited. “Gainesville, Florida is a great city with many positives: a thriving population of IT and engineering talent; a great place for our MindTree Minds to call home; and a strong partnership with the University of Florida.”
MariannaPROJECT COMFORT | Home Source International Atlanta-based Home Source International, Inc. tapped Marianna, the seat of rural Jackson County, as the location for the company’s new manufacturing and distribution facility. The operation will produce 303 jobs and an initial capital investment of $2.3 million.
“Home Source International is pleased and honored to be supported by the great state of Florida as well as Jackson County and the City of Marianna as our company launches a ‘Made in USA’ manufacturing platform,” said Keith R. Sorgeloos, president & CEO, Home Source International, Inc. “We look forward to many years of success in building a business and community the old fashioned way … supporting Made in USA products and American jobs.”

WIN & ANNOUNCE Univision Communications Inc.In October 2012 Univision Communications Inc. hosted a press conference to announce its new Univision/ABC network, which will create 346 jobs in Florida.
NEGOTIATION & APPROVAL Univision Communications Inc.Enterprise Florida engaged in serious negotiations with Univision to ensure the company not only received an incentive package that made expanding in Florida viable, but also met business needs while ensuring a healthy ROI for the state of Florida and its taxpayers.
PRESENT & SELL Pratt & WhitneyEnterprise Florida presented Pratt & Whitney with feasible expansion options for the company’s existing facility, and information on the available qualified workforce and the strength of Florida’s aviation sector.
HELP COMPANY Pratt & WhitneyThere was heavy competition from other states and Canada, but Enterprise Florida succeeded in helping Pratt & Whitney secure a Florida site that met all its requirements for a new facility. Recently, Pratt & Whitney was able to win a contract from another Florida-based company with assistance from Enterprise Florida.
SERVICE AFTER SALE Pratt & Whitney Enterprise Florida works with its partners at Workforce Florida and the Department of Economic Opportunity to ensure that all training and compliance needs are being addressed.
BUILD Univision Communications Inc.Considering Univision’s existing location in Miami-Dade County and the area’s competitive factors, Enterprise Florida submitted the company’s present site in Doral as the ideal location for a new headquarters for a Hispanic news network with broadcasts in English and representing a joint venture of Univision Communications Inc. and ABC News. Miami competed against Houston, Los Angeles and New York.
MARKET Univision Communications Inc. With Florida companies facing competition from several out-of-state markets, Enterprise Florida successfully marketed to Univision/ABC News the advantages of establishing a new headquarters in Doral.
CULTIVATE Pratt & Whitney Because of its involvement with Pratt & Whitney since 2000, Enterprise Florida was able to help the company launch a business expansion with Florida as the locale.
GATHER Pratt & Whitney To ensure that the business needs and concerns could be best met, Enterprise Florida contacted and met with local economic development partners and city and county officials to gather information about the existing facility, area workforce and possible training needs, and the aerospace industry in the area.
GENERATE Univision Communications Inc. A contact associated with the company first reached out to Enterprise Florida to discuss the possibility of this project happening in Florida and request a meeting. Next, Enterprise Florida met with the company and conveyed that Florida would support the project. Negotiations ensued.
OPEN PROJECT/ IDENTIFY Univision Communications Inc. Enterprise Florida first researched Univision’s existing television operations in Miami-Dade County to identify the company’s business needs and goals for a new English-language television news network to be headquartered in Doral.
