WELCOME T ROBUS Palm Beach County Economy
Building a
From Belle Glade to Boca Raton to Jupiter, the Business Development Board is dedicated to building a robust and sustainable economy that benefits every community in Palm Beach County. For more than 35 years, we have been committed to building a diverse economy that appeals to students considering career opportunities, young adults seeking “cool” positions in our warm climate, families who relish a high quality of life and retirees who enjoy “giving back” to the next generation. In our 2018 fiscal year, we took important steps towards that goal by assisting local businesses along their growth path, recruiting high-profile companies and retaining some of our leading corporate citizens. Our numbers speak for themselves: n 28 companies relocated or expanded n 1,960 new and retained jobs n $266 million in capital investment n 1.1 million square feet of commercial space leased, built or purchased n Less than 4 percent unemployment rate n $51,098 average salary - the highest of all 67 counties in Florida That momentum has accelerated in 2019 in all of our key target sectors. For instance, Digital Resource, a homegrown West Palm Beach company, is expanding to new offices with 100 jobs. The Flagler Financial District is a magnet for financial services firms seeking a low-tax and attractive working environment. To the south, Gift of Life Bone Marrow Registry is adding more jobs and the nation’s first stem cell collection center at its Boca Raton headquarters, and in the Glades, TKM Bengard Farms is making a global contribution with its leafy green growing operations. To the North, Jupiter has emerged into a large life sciences hub. These are among the exciting success stories featured in this issue of Profile magazine, which is published by the BDB in partnership with the Board of County Commissioners and the Palm Beach County Office of Housing and Economic Sustainability. We believe in a team approach to economic development and work closely with our valued BDB members, as well as state, county and city leaders, including the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners, Enterprise Florida, CareerSource, the Economic Council, Lake Okeechobee Regional Economic Alliance, area chambers of commerce and public and private educational institutions. Thank you for your support as we build prosperity and a competitive business environment for all who live and work in Palm Beach County.

Letter From
Palm Beach County
Mayor

Beach County’s vibrant economy is becoming more balanced and diversified each year with eight industry clusters now being tracked: aviation, aerospace and engineering; corporate headquarters; IT/telecommunications; logistics and distribution; life science and health care; business/ finance; green energy and manufacturing. I want to thank the Business Development Board of Palm Beach County for working closely with the Board of County Commissioners and other partners throughout the county to encourage growth, stability, innovation and investment. The county’s general obligation bonds continue to maintain AAA ratings from Moody’s, Fitch Group and Standard & Poor’s. Palm Beach was the first county in Florida to earn this distinction and currently is one of only 43 counties nationally with AAA bond ratings. Also, the county’s revenue bonds were recently upgraded to AAA by Standard & Poor’s. As of March 2019, the unemployment rate in Palm Beach County stood at a very low 3.2 percent. According to CareerSource Palm Beach County, March 2019 was the fifth time there were more job openings countywide than applicants since 2005. Our county’s unemployment rate is below both the state and national rate. The county’s labor force also continues to grow, adding more than 7,200 people in March. Palm Beach County gained 17,900 non-agricultural jobs in 2018. Industries gaining the most new jobs were leisure and hospitality; professional and business services; and construction. Palm Beach County reported the highest annual job growth in the financial activities sector of any metro area in the state in 2018. We ranked second in statewide gains in trade, transportation and utilities, and third in manufacturing and leisure/hospitality. To help ensure that small, minority and women-owned businesses are able to participate equitably in Palm Beach County's procurement process, the Board of County Commissioners recently adopted the Equal Business Opportunity Ordinance. This followed a comprehensive five-year disparity study. The BCC is committed to a fair system and a level playing field for all qualified business owners, regardless of race, color, national origin, religion, ancestry, sex, age, marital status, familial status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability or genetic information. Highlights of the new ordinance include: n A mandatory small business enterprise (SBE) participation goal of 20 percent on all county contracts; n Creation of a goal-setting committee to review past participation and availability of minorities and women seeking to do business with Palm Beach County; n An affirmative procurement initiative (API) plan to encourage greater participation of certified S/M/WBE businesses at both the prime and subcontractor level;

n No processing fee for certification, recertification or modification of applications. Fiscal Year 2019 is off to a very strong start with 15 relocation and/or expansion projects, 694 new and retained jobs, 593,000 square feet of space developed, and $93.2 million in new capital investment countywide. Retaining jobs is just as important as creating new ones, and the BDB is to be commended for its successful negotiations with PGA of America that resulted in half of its headquarters workforce staying here in Palm Beach County. That’s 100 jobs retained. Tourism continues to be a main driver of our economic engine. A record 8.02 million people visited the Palm Beaches in 2018. That’s an increase of 1.7 percent over 2017 and the first time our county has topped 8 million visitors in one calendar year. Those visitors spent more than $2.3 billion at local hotels, restaurants, stores and attractions. All told, tourism generates an annual economic impact of over $7 billion, producing $45 million in bed-tax revenue, while supporting more than 70,000 tourismrelated jobs in Palm Beach County. 2018 was a record revenue year for the Palm Beach County Convention Center. Business was up 37 percent from the previous fiscal year; 90 percent of the hotel room nights generated by the convention center were for conferences, trade shows, conventions and meetings. Arts and cultural organizations in Palm Beach County generated approximately $600 million in economic impact and more than 300,000 hotel room night stays. You can’t achieve record tourism year after year without a great air transportation system. According to FDOT’s latest Florida Statewide Aviation Economic Impact Study, Palm Beach International Airport generates more than $5.6 billion for the South Florida economy, both directly and indirectly. The combined economic impact of Palm Beach County’s four owned and operated airports exceeds $7 billion. There is no doubt that Palm Beach County is a wonderful place to live, work and play, and this is reflected in our steady population rise. The most recent U.S. Census estimates (July 2018) show the county’s population at nearly 1.5 million residents. Approximately 22,000 people are moving to Palm Beach County each year, and it is a very diverse group: 13,000 are from other states and 9,000 from other countries. With so much to offer, it is easy to understand why Palm Beach County keeps attracting new residents. Sparkling beaches and waterways, world-famous cultural attractions, championship golf courses, beautiful parks and first-class recreation facilities complement a strong, stable and diversified economy in ways that few other places in the world can match. Thank you to all our partners who work together every day to make this happen. Mack Bernard Mayor, Palm Beach County

Gina Melby came to Palm Beach County seven years ago to become CEO at JFK Medical Center in Atlantis. But along with the opportunity to build a dynamic academic medical center, the region’s family-friendly lifestyle played a role in her decision.

"Living here is a wonderful experience." From outdoor recreational activities to shopping, dining and cultural events, Palm Beach County offers an unsurpassed quality of life. Here are several examples.

Corporate Headquarters AS THE CENTER of the polo world, Palm Beach County was a natural choice for the corporate headquarters of USPA Global Licensing, Inc. (USPAGL), a fast-growing fashion company that manages the multi-billion-dollar U.S. Polo Assn. brand worldwide. “We want to be as close to our sport as possible,” said J. Michael Prince, President & CEO of the for-profit subsidiary of the United States Polo Association. “We are very fortunate to have our global headquarters based right here in Palm Beach County, an amazing place to work and live!” With worldwide distribution through some 1,100 branded stores, department stores, independent retailers and e-commerce, U.S. Polo Assn. offers apparel for the whole family, as well as accessories, luggage, watches, footwear, travel and home goods in more than 166 countries. “The U.S. Polo Assn. brand honors the tradition of polo and fosters an inclusive environment, where men and women play the sport as equals, and everyone is invited to be a part of this extraordinary sport,” added Prince. In 2018, USPAGL delivered a record year as U.S. Polo Assn. had double-digit global growth, reaching $1.7 billion in retail sales. In addition to its West Palm Beach headquarters, which now has about 35 employees, the fashion company will soon be opening a new Global Creative Center later this year to be a digital, marketing and design hub for the brand, while hosting events and visitors from around the world. USPAGL recently partnered with the Palm Beach County Sports Commission to kick off a high-stakes “Gauntlet of Polo” tournament series with $1 million in prize money. Other partnerships include an initiative to outfit college players with U.S. Polo Assn. branded products at 20 schools from across the country and launch a TV and digital show with the Palm Beach County Tourist Development Council focusing on female polo players and the impact they have had on the sport and the world. As Prince said, “The classic American styling and authenticity of U.S. Polo Assn. to the sport of polo sets it apart from any other brand in the world. The future of the sport and the brand have never been brighter!”

PROFILE PALM BEACH COUNTY BUSINESS | BDB.ORG
JAY FEINBERG survived leukemia thanks to a bonemarrow transplant. Now, he is helping to save other patients’ lives through the Gift of Life Marrow Registry. Since 1991, Feinberg and his team have grown the registry to more than 330,000 people who have volunteered to donate blood stem cells or bone marrow. “At Gift of Life we believe every person battling blood cancer and other blood diseases deserves a second chance at life, and we are determined to make that happen,” said Feinberg. “We've facilitated over 15,000 matches, resulting in more than 3,400 transplants, and we intend to do even more.” Today, Gift of Life Marrow Registry services 49 countries, eight collection facilities, and 125 hospital and cancer centers, from its recently expanded headquarters in Boca Raton. Its office now includes an on-site stem cell collection center, providing an opportunity for local donors to save a life with minimal interruption of their daily routine. “The advantages of being located here, beyond health care, is that this is a hub for discovery,” Feinberg said. “As we continue to grow, we look toward working with world-class medical facilities, medical schools and biotech partners who also call Palm Beach County their home.”
Life science entrepreneur Christopher Benoit was considering Boston as the location for Alphazyme as a developer, manufacturer and global distributor of enzymes. But after the BDB introduced him to Jupiter’s life science ecosystem, he co-founded Alphazyme in 2018 in Palm Beach County instead. “Jupiter is a magical place, and we are excited to build a great bioscience company here in town,” he said. “The support of the Business Development Board and Town of Jupiter made it an easy decision to invest resources here.” Now, Alphazyme is preparing to expand its operations to becoming the world’s premier partner for custom, industrial-scale, molecular biology enzymes.

developing leafy greens suited for South Florida’s subtropical climate, TKM Bengard Farms in Belle Glade has become the largest lettuce grower east of the Mississippi. Vertically integrated from seeds to shipping, the fourth-generation, family-owned agricultural company serves both the food processing and the retail sectors. “We produce more than 100 million pounds of lettuce each season,” said Stephen Basore, Co-Owner and Vice President. “If you buy iceberg or romaine lettuce at the supermarket, it may well come from the 5,000-plus acres we farm in the Everglades Agricultural Area.” TKM Bengard’s leafy green products, including wrap lettuce and romaine hearts, are sold throughout the eastern U.S. as well as Canada and Puerto Rico, with some shipments going as far as Japan and Russia. Brian Basore, Co-Owner and Director of Food Safety, adds that TKM Bengard Farms is one of the largest employers in the region with 500 year-round workers – a number that doubles during the winter growing season. “We also support the many businesses that serve the agricultural sector and contribute to the Glades region economy.”

From developing new seed varieties to insect control, the Everglades Research & Education Center of the University of Florida is a scientific partner to the agricultural businesses in the Glades region. “Our goal is to help make agricultural practices more sustainable, both environmentally and financially,” said Director Dr. Gregg Nuessly, who leads a team of 85 scientists and researchers in Belle Glade. The research team provides insights into best practices for crop production, including plant breeding for greater nutrition and control of pests and plant diseases. “We use remote sensing techniques to improve our ability to identify and address potential threats to crops at an early stage,” said Nuessly. “We also educate farmers on water management and precision agricultural techniques, such as applying the appropriate amount of fertilizer to each plot.” Nuessly said the center has helped growers dramatically reduce the level of phosphorous in runoff water over the past 25 years. He added, “We are also looking at controlling aquatic vegetation in canals, which can release nutrients that affect the water quality.”
