Enterprise
Florida, Inc, the official economic development organization for the state of
Florida, which helps innovative, high growth businesses start up, locate or
expand in Florida, recorded a 23 percent increase in competitive economic
development projects, bringing 30.4 percent more jobs than in the prior year.
Gov.
Rick Scott, in a press statement said, “During
the past year, Enterprise Florida and its economic development partners
excelled in creating and retaining jobs for Florida families. Florida has had
the largest drop in unemployment in the country since December 2010 and has
created nearly 175,000 private-sector jobs – and EFI has played a tremendous
role in that achievement.”
