I am pleased to announce that the Florida League of Cities was able to obtain legislation this year that makes it easier for cities to provide incentives to businesses that retain or create jobs in Florida. While the state legislation targets larger businesses, I am planning to introduce a program to create economic incentives for small businesses in Wilton Manors that create or retain jobs. We all know that this economy is particularly difficult on our local businesses. Wilton Manors thrives on small businesses, which make up the backbone of our local economic activities. I have been working with our City Manager and staff looking into what incentives would be appropriate for Wilton Manors to provide to businesses that create jobs or retain jobs in the City. Stay tuned for more information about this program as we bring it forward for consideration.

It remains a distinct honor and privilege to represent this City and I appreciate your continued support, particularly as we head into the November election. As always, please contact me with any comments or questions at
