WaPo: “Disney has scuttled a Florida office construction project that would have been worth nearly $1 billion amid an ongoing feud with Gov.Ron DeSantis(R).
The Lake Nona Town Center project was expected to bring about 2,000 jobs to Orange County, Fla., enabled by a state tax credit. But Disney is now telling California-based staffers they will no longer have to relocate.
“Given the considerable changes that have occurred since the announcement of this project, including new leadership and changing business conditions, we have decided not to move forward with construction of the campus,” Josh D’Amaro, Disney’s theme park and consumer products chairman, wrote to employees in an email that was obtained by The Washington Post.”
