3. International Infrastructure & Resources

Florida enjoys a strategic geographic position with state-of-the-

art infrastructure with

19 Major commercial airports

12 International airports

14 Deep-water ports

This state also benefits from a strong concentration of cosmopolitan workforce, corporate

and financial resources.

Keeping his promise to reduce property taxes, Governor Rick Scott

signed legislation that will save homeowners and businesses throughout

Florida $210.5 million on property taxes due in 2012.

“This property tax cut allows families and businesses to use more of

their hard-earned money in the way they see best, rather than having to

send it to a government agency,” Governor Scott said.

When Governor Scott ran for office, he promised to balance the budget

without raising taxes and he has kept that promise.

Under the leadership of Governor Scott, the 2012-13 budget makes ends

meet in spite of a budget gap in excess of $1 billion, on top of a

$3.7-billion gap during the current budget year. Governor Scott vetoed

$142.7 million from the budget, adding to Florida’s reserves.

Governor Scott said, “Many decisions will not be politically popular in

the short term and the voices of the special interests will be loud and

persistent, but your elected officials should be absolutely committed

to creating jobs, spending every tax dollar wisely, and getting

Floridians back to work.”

economies in the US including a dynamic service sector

with various industry clusters such as high tech, aerospace

but also transportation, agriculture, construction and

fishing.

Florida rates #2 in the country with job growth.

Florida is #3 in the country with population growth.

Florida continues to outpace the nation with

respect to job growth, job demand, and

unemployment decline, which is further proof that

policy matters and the Governor’s pro-growth agenda is working.

Florida’s unemployment rate has now declined year-over-year for 36

consecutive months.

More Jobs Being Created

months.

Florida’s job growth month-to-month has been positive for 26 of

Midwest to the South and West.

7. High Density of the Population in the Coastal Areas

Nearly 90% of the Florida population concentrates on the coastal areas living 20

miles or less from the coast. Florida has a high population density along the Atlantic

Coast and in the Southwest areas.

The Florida Space Coast, (Volusia to Brevard County, or Daytona to Vero Beach)

have some of the nicest beaches in Florida and are affordable!

8. Increasing Demographics

The Census Bureau estimates predict a gain of 11

million residents over the next 25 years.

There are approximately 77 million baby-boomers inthe United States getting ready to retire. Statistically,

22% of all retirees move to Florida. It is easy to

understand why Florida is growing so rapidly.

9. Weather & Lifestyle

With about 240 sunny days per year, Florida is called

the Sunshine State for a good reason. The average

annual high temperature is 81 degrees while the average low temperature remains

a comfortable 60 degrees.

We have a saying in our office that goes like this …

“You Can’t Shovel Sunshine With a Snow - Shovel!”

10. Increasing Migration Flow

In Florida, about 40 percent of the projected growth will come from people 65 and

older with an increasing flow of retiring baby-boomers. Nearly two-thirds of the

country will live in the South and West by 2030.

11. Florida School System

A recent annual national report card on school quality and funding ranked Florida

seventh in the nation for academic achievement.

The state even earned an A grade in closing achievement gaps between high poverty

students and others.

As far as the Florida “Space Coast” school system goes, up until they shut down theKennedy Space Center, the area had numerous “Rocket -Scientist” parents whodemanded top notch schools for their children. The area attracted the best teachers

and as a result, the Space Coast has some of the best schools in the state of Florida.

Add to it Governor Scott, who is upholding his promise of making the Florida

schools system to be one of the best in the country, children are getting a great

education in Florida.

More From Governor Scott

“Over the last year I have traveled the state to hear from Floridians

what issues they care about most. That’s why this budget should be

known as an education budget,” Governor Scott said. “The two issues

that Floridians care most about are jobs and education, and the two go

hand-in-hand since a good education is critical to getting a good job.”

The more than $1 billion allows for:

A $405 million increase in per-student funding or roughly $150

per student.

An extra $47 million for enhanced reading programs. $663 million to fill funding gaps due to the influx of 31,000

expected new students next year and lower property taxes.

Funding that will enable districts to reward the best teachers.

Governor Scott signed legislation that increases funding to Florida

schools by over $1 billion.

This historic increase in funding will ensure that Florida’s schools

are in a position to educate our state’s future workforce. With this

increased funding comes increased responsibility. It is important that

we continue to hold Florida’s schools to a high standard. The state

must ensure that our educational system is held accountable to educate

our children properly.

Governor Scott is confident that continuing to invest in Florida’s

schools will prepare our state to be the best place to live, work and

play for years to come.
