Welcome We Invite You To Invest In Palm Beach County’s Future
Economic development is crucial to the future of Palm Beach County. Expanding and relocating businesses create new direct and indirect jobs that provide new opportunities for our residents. A strong Palm Beach County economy means that younger workers can get started on rewarding careers close to home. Families can enjoy an appealing lifestyle in a warm and welcoming community. Investors and entrepreneurs can seek out new business opportunities in our local market. And residents of all ages can play an active role in our schools, colleges and universities, nonprofit organizations and local governments. That’s why the Business Development Board of Palm Beach County is so committed to strengthening the economic vitality of our community. In the 35 years since our public-private partnership was founded, our team has helped bring in billions of dollars in new business investment to our county. Some of the most important highlights of those 35 years are included in this 2017-18 edition of Profile magazine, which is published by the BDB in partnership with the Board of County Commissioners and the Palm Beach County Office of Economic Sustainability. In our most recent fiscal year, the BDB facilitated 27 relocation and expansion projects, creating 2,487 jobs and more than $100 million in capital investment. Many of these projects were in the manufacturing, life sciences and communications/IT sectors, as well as the health care, aerospace, distribution and marine industries. This year, we are seeing a continued high level of interest from companies in many sectors, particularly in financial services, as funds and firms in the Northeast recognize the benefits of relocating to our affluent, low-tax community. We make a difference by constantly strengthening our existing businesses Kelly Smallridge President & CEO Business Development Board

letter from
Palm Beach
County Mayor Welcome to another exciting edition of Profile magazine. We at the Board of County Commissioners are dedicated supporters of the Business Development Board, working hand in hand to bring high-quality jobs to Palm Beach County. This shared goal has once again exceeded expectations. We’re proud to celebrate another robust year for expansions, relocations, development projects and grand openings, many of which are spotlighted in these pages. It’s always exciting to witness the unveiling of a new business in Palm Beach County. But the energy in the breezy air on Feb. 28, 2017 at the Ballpark of the Palm Beaches had its own distinctive crackle. Just a year earlier, this area on Haverhill Road in West Palm Beach consisted of retaining walls and mounds of dirt. Now it is a professional baseball facility, the Spring Training home of the Washington Nationals and Houston Astros, boasting 6,500 seats, a wraparound concourse, 12 practice fields, a city park, a splash park and more, over 160 manicured acres. The pregame ribbon cutting was its own spectacle, stretching across the infield from first to third base, with Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred leading the ceremony. The Ballpark may be a one-of-a-kind addition to Palm Beach County’s sports and recreation landscape, but it exemplifies the everyday public-private partnerships between industry and government that help our region’s economic climate remain vibrant and prosperous. The Board of County Commissioners and the Business Development Board of Palm Beach County work hand in hand to cultivate construction projects just like it, and to facilitate company expansions and relocations to our welcoming county. The benefits of our collaboration are manifest in the county’s robust economic data: As of March 2017, Palm Beach County’s 4.7 percent unemployment rate fell below the national average for the 29th consecutive month, with 17,800 jobs created over the previous year. Many of these jobs fall in the chief industry clusters where the BDB’s recruitment efforts are most evident: Agribusiness, Aviation/Aerospace /En-
gineering, Business/Financial Services, Health Care, IT/Communications, Life Sciences and Manufacturing. In the past year, numerous companies in these vital fields relocated or expanded their headquarters to Palm Beach County. Parametric Solutions, a manufacturer of gas turbines, announced plans to add 200 to its existing workforce. Abberior Instruments America, a global leader in imaging technology, chose Jupiter’s Max Planck Florida Institute facility for its U.S. headquarters. CTD Holdings, a biotechnology company that develops treatments for rare diseases, will establish its corporate headquarters in Palm Beach County, bringing 51 new jobs and investing $2.75 million in the region. And Halo Technologies, which specializes in 3D printing and scanning, opened its West Palm Beach office, where it will hire 50 employees by 2018. These are only a few of Palm Beach County’s recent success stories in business development. Acknowledging that the county requires a skilled workforce to fill these positions, the BDB is doing its part to graduate a pipeline of qualified individuals from the area’s universities. Last year, the BDB launched the Academic Leaders Council, a panel of presidents from our public school system and our institutions of higher learning. The Council, which met again in April 2017, works with representatives from the county’s industry clusters to best identify the needs of their ever-evolving businesses. When it comes to attracting talent from elsewhere, that’s the easy part: All it takes is one look at our temperate climate, work-live-play atmosphere and A-rated school system, and most potential new CEOs and their employees are ready to plant their roots. Housing developments from Westlake to Palm Beach Gardens to the urban renaissance of downtown West Palm Beach will continue to provide plentiful options for them to do so. As with those Spring Training teams at the Ballpark of the Palm Beaches, business development is a collaborative effort. The strength of Palm Beach County’s economic development lies in its ability to leverage, support and coordinate the expertise and resources of community partners, organizations and other county agencies. On behalf of the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners, I invite you to help us develop and deliver new opportunities for employment and business growth throughout the county.
Paulette Burdick Mayor, Palm Beach County

Palm Beach County’s
office market is at near-record occupancy levels, says Neil Merin, chairman of NAI/Merin Hunter Codman, Inc., a leading commercial real estate firm. “Our industrial market is also growing, with much of the new space being leased before completion.” Overall, more than several million square feet in commercial space and thousands of new residential units are now under construction or in the planning phase throughout Palm Beach County. Both the public and private sectors are also investing in major transportation and infrastructure projects to meet the needs of the area’s residents and businesses. Here are some of the highlights:
Downtown West Palm Beach All Aboard Florida’s Brightline high-speed rail service will soon carry residents and visitors from the 60,000-square-foot downtown West Palm Beach train station to downtown Fort Lauderdale and Miami, followed by a northern extension to Orlando. “With the launch of our express intercity train service, Brightline will transform the way people move among the three major cities of South Florida, making everyone’s backyard bigger,” said Julie Edwards, chief marketing officer for Brightline. “In addition to the hundreds of jobs already created during our construction phase, the Brightline train service will positively impact the South Florida economy.” Brightline’s West Palm Beach station is walking distance from the government center, Flagler Financial District, Clematis District, CityPlace, Centennial Park and the waterfront, and is a bike ride away from destinations such as the Kravis Center, the Flagler Museum and the island of Palm Beach. More than 50 commercial, residential and mixed-use projects in West Palm Beach’s urban area totaling more than $2 billion are in the planning and construction phase, according to Chris Roog, director of economic development for the City of West Palm Beach. “We’re going through a renaissance,” he said. Major developments include The Bristol, a luxury waterfront condominium project; Broadstone at Clematis, a 322-unit apartment complex; and All Aboard Florida’s residential tower, with 275 units and retail/restaurant space directly behind the Brightline station. Following the recent opening of the Ballpark of the Palm Beaches—the new Spring Training home for the Houston Astros and Washington Nationals—the Astros are investing $25 million to convert an empty office building on Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard into a 197-room baseball-themed hotel. Also north of downtown, The Related Company and Rybovich are constructing Marina Village, a mixed-use development that features six residential towers with 1,059 condos, a 272-slip marina, and retail, office, restaurants and marine industrial space. Marina Village is scheduled for completion in 2018.

Low-Cost Power, Smart Grids and Solar Energy As Florida’s largest power company, FPL delivers low-cost electricity to business customers throughout Palm Beach County with incentives for new investments. To better serve its business and residential customers, FPL has developed “smart grid” technology to minimize outages and has invested $2 billion to strengthen its infrastructure, according to Dave Herlong, director of smart grid and innovation. “We have the nation’s most advanced electrical grid,” Herlong said. “That includes smart switches at our facilities, smart meters on customer sites and energy portals where businesses can track their usage.” With 4.85 million customers in Florida, FPL is the nation’s third-largest utility. “Our business customer bills are among the lowest in the Southeast and below the national average,” said Herlong. In addition, FPL offers two incentive rates to support economic development. With the Economic Development Rider (EDR), eligible companies receive discounts on their charges. Large power users with a load of 2,000 KW or greater that are served by a single meter can take advantage of the Commercial Industrial Service Rider (CISR). FPL also has pre-qualified sites ready for data center development in Palm Beach County. In the heart of Palm Beach County, the City of Lake Worth is investing in the future with a new 2-megawatt solar power plant. “In addition to helping the city achieve energy and financial savings, this project also marks a major commitment to diversifying our energy portfolio to include clean and renewable energy sources,” said Mayor Pam Triolo at the recent ribboncutting for the Lake Worth Solar Energy Project.

Palm Beach County Appeals to Young Professionals
Shay Berman says Palm Beach County is an ideal location for Millennials. “I live, work and play in downtown West Palm Beach,” said Berman, the 24-year-old president of Digital Resource, Inc. “I moved here from Michigan three years ago, because I saw this was a young city with potential. Now, everyone I interact with is downtown in this exciting urban community.” A few miles to the south, Ryan Boylston is leading the young professional team at Woo Creative in Delray Beach. “We have found that downtown Delray is a great place to be situated for young talent,” he said. “Rather than being stuck in a cubicle in an office park, you can walk to stores and restaurants, and the beach is just a few blocks away.”

, mayor of Delray Beach, agrees. “Millennials like our authentic urban lifestyle,” he said. “Delray offers them an entrepreneurial environment where places of enjoyment and employment are one and the same.” While Palm Beach County offers an appealing lifestyle for executives and professionals of all ages, there’s a new “vibe” that attracts recent college graduates, young entrepreneurs and workers in their 20s and 30s. For example, Chris Callahan, 33, co-founded Startup Palm Beach in 2013. Since then, the entrepreneur resource center in West Palm Beach has launched an incubator program and hosted dozens of community events. “Many Millennials are choosing to live in downtown West Palm Beach, Delray Beach or Boca Raton to enjoy our urban setting,” said attorney H. William Perry, managing shareholder, Gunster, West Palm Beach. “It’s also a great place to be outdoors and pursue your passion every day of the year.” Perry himself enjoys fishing, diving and swimming, and is an active runner and triathlete. In addition to the outdoor and urban settings, talented professionals appreciate Palm Beach County’s low cost of living, easy commutes, creative climate and technology infrastructure, said Brendan T. Lynch, chief financial officer, Plastridge Agency, an insurance company with about 110 employees. “The county’s quality of life is an easy sell for families,” added Lynch, who enjoys surfing and spending time on the water with his wife Lisa, sons Aidan and Liam, and their puppy Clover. “We go fishing off the Lake Worth pier and ride our golf cart to the green market in Lake Worth on Saturday morning,” he said. Rick Gonzalez, president, REG Architects, says the region’s architects and designers are creating more flexible and collaborative office environments that appeal to younger professionals. “Many workers like the idea of having a place to go where they can think and exchange ideas with their peers,” he said. “Today’s offices foster those connections, especially for professionals who work from home. Having offices and co-working spaces in cool downtown areas is a real plus for attracting talent.” Millennials also love the region’s dining and shopping options, said Maria G. Marino, mayor of Palm Beach Gardens. “We are embracing Millennials, because they are the future of our town. We have great recreational programs and business opportunities for Millennials and their families.”

“
Palm Beach Atlantic University
We are leading the country in the high-school readiness of our middle school students.
”
– Robert M. Avossa, Ed.D., superintendent, School District of Palm Beach County
From closing the achievement gap to ensuring college and career readiness, Robert M. Avossa, Ed.D., is dedicated to student success. “Teaching is my passion,” said Avossa, superintendent, School District of Palm Beach County. “We want to help all our students reach their full potential.” Under Avossa’s leadership, the district is moving forward with a five-year strategic plan to continue its journey to academic excellence. “We are leading the country in the high-school readiness of our middle school students,” he said. “We continue to support our teachers, invest in technology, and spend time with every school assessing their unique needs as we reinforce our pillars of instruction.” The Palm Beach County district is the 11th largest in the nation and the fifth largest in the state of Florida, with 187 schools serving more than 188,000 students who speak 152 languages and dialects. It is also the county’s largest employer with over 21,000 employees, including more than 12,000 teachers. The district has dozens of academic and career-focused academies and magnet programs, as well as an Exceptional Student Education program for children with special needs from birth to age 22. There are also 41 charter schools sponsored and administered through the district, giving parents flexibility to choose among diverse educational opportunities. In addition, Palm Beach County’s 116 private and faith-based schools offer an array of educational opportunities for parents and students. They include alternative schools, schools with religious affiliation, academic academies, prep schools, independent schools, music- and art-oriented academies, Montessori education and many others. “As Palm Beach County continues to grow and draw top-tier business talent, it’s more critical than ever that we have the highest caliber of private schools available to educate the new families who move to our area,” said Dr. Edwin Gordon, head of school for Palm Beach Day Academy. “Parents looking at private schools are often searching for the right fit. We know that a private school education is not just about preparing boys and girls for the next grade or high school; it’s about preparing them for life and a love of learning.”

FAU
Invests in Science and Medical Programs
With new deans
leading its science and medical programs, Florida Atlantic University (FAU) is investing in its future, building collaborative partnerships with Palm Beach County’s research, health care and business communities. “We are looking ahead to the next five years, and I want FAU to be the fastest-improving university in the country,” said President John Kelly, Ph.D. “I also understand the importance of building partnerships with the private sector. We want our students to be able to take advantage of mentoring, internship and career opportunities here in South Florida. Also, we have nearly doubled the research capacity of our university in the past two years, and our goal is to get to the $100 million grant level in five years.” FAU is placing special focus on the rapid development of critical areas that form the basis of its strategic plan: Healthy aging, biotech, coastal and marine issues, neuroscience, regenerative medicine, informatics, lifespan and the environment. In January, FAU named Phillip M. Boiselle, M.D., as the new dean of the Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine. He was formerly associate dean for academic and clinical affairs, and professor of radiology at Harvard Medical School. “One of the things that drew me to FAU was the opportunity to lead the College of Medicine at a pivotal moment,” Boiselle said. “After launching the program and earning accreditation, we can now continue to move forward and earn

a national reputation for teaching, research and innovation, while serving the needs of our South Florida community.” Boiselle plans to expand its graduate medical education program in partnership with a consortium of five Palm Beach County hospitals: Boca Raton Regional Hospital, Bethesda Hospital East, Delray Medical Center, St. Mary’s Medical Center and West Boca Medical Center. FAU now has two medical residency programs, and will add a third program in emergency medicine in July. The college has also applied for a psychiatry residency program and has plans to launch a neurology residency program in the future. FAU also named Ata Sarajedini, Ph.D., a leading astronomer and researcher, dean of the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science in January. He leads the college’s education and research programs in biological sciences, chemistry and biochemistry, environmental sciences, geosciences, mathematics, physics and psychology. Sarajedini said one of his highest priorities is enhancing student success rates, including opening the doors to career opportunities in the sciences. “We value our collaborations with companies in the life sciences, marine sciences, manufacturing and other sectors,” he said. “We want our students to benefit from internships that expose them to real-world business and research settings, so they are wellprepared for their dream careers.”

HIGHER EDUCATION
Palm Beach County’s colleges and universities offer high-quality, employment-focused workforce training; progressive professional education; and opportunities for enrichment to meet the changing needs of a diverse community. To help meet the region’s workforce needs, the Business Development Board of Palm Beach County organized the Academic Leaders Council—an initiative that focuses on preserving and expanding the county’s intellectual capital while ensuring that classroom programs are aligned with the growing targeted industries in the county. Here is a closer look at several leading institutions. Lynn University is investing in new programs and facilities, while moving up in academic rankings. U.S. News & World Report recently recognized the Boca Raton institution for the second time as one of the nation’s most innovative universities. “Our students have the opportunity to obtain real-world job skills, network with professionals and learn about emerging industries like technology and social entrepreneurship,” said President Kevin M. Ross. With two locations in the county—the West Palm Beach Campus and the Flagship Residential Campus—Keiser University is dedicated to fostering the business leaders of tomorrow. “We promote careers,” said Belinda Keiser, vice chancellor. “That includes bringing employers on campus, our delivery system, the thousand different industry advisers that talk to us about our curriculum, and the degrees we offer.” Palm Beach State College (PBSC) opened its new Dennis P. Gallon campus in Loxahatchee Groves this spring. Named in honor of its former president, the new campus is located on a 75-acre site on Southern Boulevard with a three-story, 50,000-square-foot building. “We put our heart and soul into ensuring that all five campuses are successful and that together Palm Beach State College will be successful,” said PBSC President Ava L. Parker. Since its opening in 1968, Palm Beach Atlantic University has become one of Florida’s top Christian universities with nearly 4,000 students and a 29-acre waterfront campus in downtown West Palm Beach. “Today’s employers are looking for graduates with character, competence and work experience,” said President William “Bill” Fleming, Jr. “We find that our graduates are highly sought-after due to their high ethical standards, advanced technical skills and entrepreneurial spirit.”

Aerospace/Aviation/Engineering Parametric Solutions, Inc. has come a long way since its founding in 1993 as a product design company. Today, the Jupiter-based business designs gas turbines used in jets and industrial gas turbines for energy generation for a global customer base that includes Pratt & Whitney, Rolls-Royce, Toshiba and GE. “We start with an idea and provide the design and prototyping services, all the way through testing and certification,” said Catherine Barre, president. “We also design the tooling and instrumentation to test the engine’s thrust, pressure, temperature and vibration. One engine might have 3,000 parts, so it’s a complex task to pull everything together and meet the original design goals.” In March, Parametric Solutions announced plans to expand its operations, adding 200 employees to an existing workforce of 255 at its office and manufacturing facility in Jupiter. “We have found an excellent talent pool here in Palm Beach County,” said Barre. “We also hire and train graduates from Florida’s colleges and universities.”

Agriculture
As pioneers in Florida’s farming industry, the Wedgworth family has been contributing to Palm Beach County’s economy for 85 years. In 1932, Belle Glade farmer Herman Wedgworth founded Wedgworth’s Farms, which soon developed a reputation for innovative growing methodologies and new technologies to make agriculture more efficient and productive. The company continued to grow through the second half of the 20th century under the leadership of Herman’s wife Ruth, an award-winning businesswoman and inductee into the Florida Agricultural Hall of Fame. Today, this family-owned business is run by Ruth’s grandson Dennis Wedgworth, who guides the production of 10,000 acres of sugarcane and operates 10,000 acres of ranch lands, which provide 200,000 tons of custom-blended fertilizer annually to Florida farms. “We’re on both sides,” said manager Keith Wedgworth, a fourth-generation member of the family. “No matter if it’s the farming or fertilizer side, we’re always looking for more innovative ways to do things, from GPS systems to fully automating our fertilizer plant.” For Wedgworth’s Farms, Palm Beach County is an ideal location for success, thanks to its climate and organic soils. As Keith Wedgworth said, “Palm Beach County has some of the richest soils, not only in the country but in the world.”

Since moving to Palm Beach County a decade ago, BioTools has built a global customer base for its leading-edge molecular analytic products. “Our client base includes major pharmaceutical companies, the Food and Drug Administration and top academic institutions around the world,” said Rina K. Dukor, Ph.D., president of the Jupiter-based company, which has 15 employees as well as a European office and a sister company in China. Founded in 2000 in Illinois, Dukor brought the life sciences company to northern Palm Beach County after Scripps Research Institute announced it was opening a new facility in Florida. Dukor moved the company’s research and manufacturing operations to a 6,000square-foot warehouse not far from Scripps Florida with support from the Business Development Board and the Town of Jupiter. Known worldwide as characterization experts of two types of blockbuster drugs—chiral and biologics—BioTools specializes in spectroscopy. It was the first company to introduce several groundbreaking award-winning instruments. “When we opened here, we had three product lines,” said Dukor.

Bright Future With its growing population, superb quality of life, dynamic business community, skilled workforce and ongoing investments in transportation, Palm Beach County is an attractive business environment. In the next few years, the region will attract more young professionals, families, executives and entrepreneurs of all ages, offering a variety of exciting live-work-play choices.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s most recent estimates, Palm Beach County’s population grew by 22,000 people from July 2015 to July 2016, and will surpass 1.5 million by 2020. Business investment also continues to flow into the county, and both private and public sector leaders recognize the importance of maintaining the county’s exceptional quality of life while growing the economy. New transportation projects are underway throughout Palm Beach County, including new pedestrian and bicycle paths, commuter rail service and roadway improvements. A penny sales tax surcharge passed in November 2016 will support a variety of transportation and infrastructure projects, with county officials estimating the tax will generate approximately $2.7 billion in new revenue. “Our vision is a safe, efficient and connected multimodal transportation system,” said Nick Uhren, executive director, Palm Beach Metropolitan Planning Organization. “Our five-year strategic plan places a priority on complete streets that safely accommodate both motorized and non-motorized users.” Recent projects include incorporating green-painted bike lanes on streets in West Palm Beach and Delray Beach, helping to protect riders and pedestrians. On a regional level, the launch of Brightline passenger rail service from West Palm Beach to Fort Lauderdale and Miami will complement

the region’s Tri-Rail service, offering a new option for residents and visitors. Improvements to the Interstate 95 corridor are also underway, including the opening of the Spanish River intersection in Boca Raton that will provide convenient access to Florida Atlantic University. In addition to I-95 developments, Florida’s Turnpike is constantly improving its infrastructure, while serving 1.8 million motorists daily. From Orlando to Miami, the state’s main population centers are just two hours away from Palm Beach County. Both Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) and the Port of Palm Beach are investing in the future to continue meeting the needs of air travelers, cruise passengers and shippers seeking access to global markets. A $23 million capital improvement project at PBI has expanded security checkpoints, providing a larger area for passenger screening, and helping to bolster PBI’s 2016 ranking as the sixthbest airport in the U.S. by Conde Nast magazine. The Port of Palm Beach, the state’s fourth-busiest container port, remains an economic boon for the region, employing 2,400 people directly or indirectly, and moving more than $7 billion in commodities each year. As BDB President & CEO Kelly Smallridge said, “Our county’s collaborative spirit is one of our biggest assets as we move forward together into the 21st century.”
