The Ben Hotel - Downtown West Palm Beach
In less than a week following the beginning of the social and economic downshift last March, the Business Development Board (BDB) stepped into a leadership position to assist the County in providing tangible assistance and upto-the-minute, verified information for the business community to navigate the drastically altered social and economic landscape. We urgently needed an informational “North Star,” and the BDB is proud of its swift response and hands-on help provided to Palm Beach County’s leadership so that all 39 municipalities, business, government and education leaders had accurate information they could count on to make informed decisions. As the County finds its way through the economic and social impacts of COVID-19, the powerful partnerships, intellectual capital and financial resources based here have coalesced into a strong, collaborative foundation for this highly resilient community to fast-track its recovery. We are progressing steadily toward reclaiming the economic vitality that has defined Palm Beach County for decades. One of the first things we did was to develop and launch a website called BizHelpPBC.com that provided assistance to local businesses. We then introduced weekly Town Hall Calls that featured Florida’s U.S. Senators, County officials, the most prominent and informed industry leaders and local companies with helpful insights. We also helped to identify local sources of critical items in short supply for the federal government. We did all this with our left hand, while the right continued its all-important role of outreach to companies considering a move to Florida and promotion of Palm Beach County to the world. The effects of quarantine and social isolation in large

cities prompted even more interest among CEOs to make the move to Florida, so our workload actually increased over the spring and summer months. Our essential appeal hasn’t changed, even as the world’s perspective shifted. There’s no better location to live, work, learn and play than Palm Beach County. That doesn’t change whether you’re working from home, office, hotel, warehouse or manufacturing facility. Since 2018, about 50 companies have announced plans to relocate or expand their operations here and create high-quality jobs. These companies fall within the key, targeted growth sectors including corporate headquarters, aviation, logistics, infotech, manufacturing, life sciences and financial services, and the pipeline for 2021 is very promising. We’ve been able to convert interest into real jobs and capital investment thanks to help from the highly accomplished members of the BDB, state, county and city leaders, 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. It takes a team like this to get complex deals done, and the entire County benefits from our success. Thank you for your continued support during this time of challenge and change. We know that Palm Beach County has a bright, sunshiny future, injecting the essential Vitamin D into Economic Development.

Letter From
PALM BEACH COUNTY
MAYOR
The COVID-19
pandemic had the potential to weaken the fabric of our beloved community. In reality, it has proven to be a catalyst for local government, residents and stakeholders to grow and work more closely together, even while honoring our social distancing commitments. In this collective team spirit, the Board of County Commissioners has responded swiftly and decisively to support our local business community. As the County Mayor, I am thankful for the success this community has realized thus far during this pandemic, but remain abundantly aware of the difficult challenges that lay ahead. I am confident that the Palm Beach County business community will continue to rise to the challenge, as we face these upcoming challenges together. Getting Palm Beach County safely back to business has been a principal priority of mine. All County Commissioners fully recognize the urgent need to restart the economy and provide the opportunity for businesses to reopen and employees to return to work. The transition to a wellfunctioning economy will continue to be data-driven, implemented with science-based health and safety policies, and informed by economic development experts. While there are a lot of unknowns, here is what we know: The Palm Beach County business community is diverse. The largest industry employers in the county include health and social assistance, retail trade, accommodations and food, and administrative and professional services. And there is strength in that diversity. Palm Beach County is home to more than 57,000 privately owned businesses. Stakeholder groups, including the Business Development Board, various chambers of commerce, community redevelopment associations, downtown development associations and industry-specific groups, alongside the county, continuously advocate on behalf of the community, disseminating information on best practices, relief programs and policy changes at the local, state and federal levels. Financial resources are coming. On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), in response to the
12
PROFILE PALM BEACH COUNTY BUSINESS | BDB.ORG
COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act distributes additional Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program funding to states and local governments to prevent, prepare and respond to COVID-19. As a result, Palm Beach County received nearly $4 million in CDBG funding, which will, in part, be used to provide financial assistance to small businesses. The county also received $261 million in CARES Act funding, and recommendations include the distribution of $60 million in funds for business relief in addition to dollars for emergency food distribution, individual and family assistance, human services assistance, countywide testing, non-congregate sheltering, re-employment training and broadband enhancements. As we are working to be open for business, the current impact of COVID-19 on the business community is dire. I believe the economic recovery can be robust. The economy in Palm Beach County was strong immediately preceding this crisis, including low unemployment rates. As restrictions are eased, businesses are beginning to reopen with employees returning to their jobs. The economic development expertise, both within county government in departments including the Department of Housing and Economic Opportunity and the Office of Equal Business Opportunity and in our partnering organizations including the Business Development Board and the Economic Council of Palm Beach County, is considerable. That expertise will be critical in assisting the business community to navigate the economic impact. We will rely on these economic “first responders” to fulfill three critical roles. Palm Beach County has led the way in safely re-opening for business. Together, we will continue to lead the way down this path of unprecedented trials. The participation of the Business Development Board will be uniquely critical to our recovery, and it is an honor to continue to work side-byside, and hand-in-hand (while socially distanced), with this essential organization.
Dave Kerner
Palm Beach County Mayor

School District of Palm Beach County Choice, Career and Adult Education
The School District of Palm Beach County is preparing students for careers in a variety of sectors aligned with the region’s workforce needs. “We offer more than 300 choice and career programs at more than 125 schools, giving students an array of theme-based offerings starting as early as elementary school,” said Jeraline Johnson, director, Choice & Career Options, School District of Palm Beach County. Most of the career-related programs offer work-based learning experiences such as internships, job shadowing, clinical rotations and on-the-job training. In addition, thousands of students are able to earn industry credentials each year to complement the knowledge and skills learned from their career program. “Our local business and industry partnerships connect our education system with the community, allowing us to truly provide students with a full real-world experience,” said Superintendent Dr. Donald Fennoy II. More than 30,000 students take adult and community education classes annually at 34 sites across Palm Beach County. “We are firmly committed to the governor’s goal of making Florida No. 1 in workforce training by 2030, and helping guide our graduates to employment or extended learning,” said Fred J. Barch, director, Department of Adult & Community Education. “We have created more programs in health care, expanded technical training, and are piloting marine tech and aerospace programs. Those are examples of how we help train adults for our rapidly evolving workforce.”

Palm Beach County high school students can now work side-by-side with preeminent scientists at Florida Atlantic University Max Planck Academy on FAU’s John D. MacArthur Campus in Jupiter. As the only program of its kind in the world, the new academy will serve as a model for STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) education delivery. The FAU Max Planck Academy is the latest partnership involving FAU, the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience (MPFI) and the Germany-based Max Planck Society. “Our Jupiter campus is the only place on Earth where Scripps and Max Planck sit next to each other, and FAU is working to ensure this incredible synergy is leveraged to create a unique learning laboratory where exemplary students can shine,” said FAU President John Kelly. “Our campus is truly a ‘laboratory’ where exemplary students and outstanding faculty converge with world-class research institutes.”

Keiser University's nursing programs provide a pathway for students who want to prepare for a nursing career. Both West Palm Beach campuses offer RN, BSN, MSN or DNP nursing degrees. “Many of our local graduates are now finding themselves on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic at hospitals and health care facilities throughout the entire country,” said Kimberly Lea, president. “We are honored to be their alma mater.” Altogether, more than 7,000 nursing students have graduated from Keiser University, along with thousands of their peers in health sciences and other careers. Keiser University serves nearly 20,000 students earning degrees in more than 100 fields on 21 campuses.
in the Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences is training vitally needed health care professionals. “As hospitals treat COVID-19 patients with difficulty breathing, respiratory therapists are on the frontlines,” said Dr. George Hanbury, president & CEO. “As the pandemic has evolved, the importance of respiratory therapists has never been more apparent.” In fact, NSU loaned eight ventilators to Palm Beach County hospitals and provided educational support from its faculty. “It takes special education and training to operate ventilators effectively and safely,” said program director Lisa Farach, chair, Department of Cardiopulmonary Sciences. “NSU’s Department of Cardiopulmonary Sciences prepares students to fill that role and to address community needs. It is an intense and rigorous program that results in practitioners who can function in a critical care unit immediately upon graduation. It is an exciting and intriguing discipline that is knee-deep in the current pandemic.”
Lynn University
Aviation
Lynn University in Boca Raton is meeting South Florida’s need for qualified pilots and other aviation professionals. At the Burton D. Morgan College of Aeronautics, students have many opportunities to learn with flight simulators, logging real flight time and taking off-campus field trips to a variety of aviation-related clubs, organizations and activities. The College of Aeronautics’ degree programs include aviation-related coursework to qualify students for the FAA restricted Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) rating upon completion of 1,000 flying hours. In addition to gaining in-flight experience at Lynn’s Boca Raton Airport facilities, students take courses in airport, fixed-base and aviation operations. “One of the greatest barriers of entry for pilots is the cost of training,” said Dr. Kevin Ross, president. “Lynn’s investment in state-of-the-art training facilities and tools, like the RedBird AATD flight simulator, allows us to offer aviation training services that rival some of the nation’s top programs at a more affordable cost.”

Palm Beach Atlantic University in downtown West Palm Beach is launching a new master-level degree in computer science for professionals in the field as well as recent computer science graduates. “In today’s society, technological advancements are evolving at an everincreasing rate and are of growing importance to the nation’s productivity and prosperity,” said Robert B. Lloyd, dean of the School of Arts & Sciences. “With this degree program, designed to reflect national standards, PBA will be training the next computer scientists, data analysts,
software engineers and programming specialists to meet the needs of Florida and beyond.” According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Palm Beach County is projected to experience strong computer science-related job growth, and PBA is leveraging its experience in computer science to meet this demand.

Palm Beach State College's career and technical programs contribute directly to the county’s economic development. “Employers call us to fill jobs because they know that our graduates, whether prepared for entry-level or advanced positions, are ready to excel in a constantly changing workplace that demands complex and integrated technical skills and knowledge,” said Ava Parker, president. The college’s Trade & Industry division has been a key provider of workforce education in Palm Beach County for decades. The college’s many programs include automotive services, construction, transportation, HVAC, welding, machining, carpentry, cosmetology, landscaping and supply chain management.

Technical Talent in the Glades Region Many educational programs are tapping the deep talent pool in Palm Beach County’s western Glades region. “Our carpentry, electrical and plumbing students learn multiple skills as they build tiny houses,” said Fred J. Barch, director, Department of Adult & Community Education, School District of Palm Beach County. Other programs include welding, commercial truck driving, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) training. The district recently received a state grant to renovate the welding labs at both West Technical Education Center in Belle Glade (as well as North Tech in West Palm Beach) and provide forklifts for the forklift certification program and backhoes to practice using heavy equipment. “All of our students in these trade programs receive certifications to help when searching for a job,” said Barch. Nearby Pahokee Middle and High School is gaining national academic recognition for its innovative robotics program. Since its launch in the 2016-17 school year, the school’s Subaroos teams have competed at the state championship tournament as one of the best in Palm Beach County and South Florida. “I am so proud of our robotics program,” said Dwayne L. Dennard, principal. “To see it grow into the recognizable program it is today, is due to the hard work of our supporters, students, mentors and most importantly our coaches.”

Financial Services
‘ G O OD B Y E WAL L ST R EET, H EL LO PAL M BEAC H’ Some of the biggest names in the nation’s financial sector are leaving the Northeast for the warm and sunny skies of Palm Beach County. Low tax rates, convenient air connections and a robust communications infrastructure make it easy to relocate to the “Wall Street of the South.” “When the sun comes up in the morning and it’s 80 degrees, it is much easier to be happy,” said Al Rabil III, CEO, Kayne Anderson Real Estate Advisers. “As a friend of mine says, ‘I have yet to shovel humidity.’” In the past few years, dozens of financial firms have relocated from New York, Boston and Connecticut, including leaders like Paul Tudor Jones and Wexford Capital. Most are from high-tax states that were impacted by the 2017 tax reform act, which put a $10,000 cap on state and local tax deductions for highincome professionals. According to Fox Business, someone earning $650,000 in ordinary income could save $69,719 per year by moving from New York to Florida, based on data provided by the Tax, Trusts & Estates Department of Cole Schotz. “With today’s technology, firms don’t need to have all their operations in Manhattan anymore,” said Kelly Smallridge, president and CEO, Business Development Board. “Instead of a long commute home through the snow, executives can spend their afternoons on the golf course, boating with clients or enjoying time with their families.” More than 230 financial firms now have offices in the Flagler Financial District in downtown West Palm Beach. “You can walk to an outdoor cafe, take a client to a fine restaurant for lunch and enjoy the scenic waterfront,” said Christopher Roog, director of economic development, City of West Palm Beach. “There are plenty of nearby residences, and it’s easy to walk, bicycle or even ride your skateboard to work. “We also have a dynamic arts and cultural scene, including a robust art in public places program.”

Health/Life Sciences AD M A B I OLO GI C S – MANUFACTURI NG L I FE-S AVING P L AS M A D ERI V ED ANTI BO DY THERAPI ES ADMA Biologics is developing, manufacturing and marketing life-saving therapies in Boca Raton for patients with compromised immune systems at risk for infectious diseases. “We are proud to be one of the few plasma products manufacturing companies in the U.S.,” said Adam Grossman, founder and CEO. "We are happy to be a part of the growing life sciences community here in Palm Beach County.” In 2017, ADMA Biologics acquired manufacturing and laboratory facilities and moved its primary operations from New Jersey to Boca Raton. Today, the company has about 350 employees, including 290 in Boca Raton. “In the past three years, we have overhauled the facility, hired talented people and obtained U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for our products,” said Grossman. “We are just hitting our stride.” An end-to-end commercial biopharmaceutical company, ADMA Biologics provides plasma-derived medications to patients with a genetic disorder called Primary Immune Deficiency Disease (PI), which affects more than 250,000 people in the U.S. PI disorders lead to a shortage of necessary antibodies in the blood or a failure of the antibodies to function properly. In late 2019, ADMA began the commercial rollout of BIVIGAM® and ASCENIV™, its two lead intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) products for the treatment of patients with PI and others at risk for infections. Last December, the growing publicly traded company was added to the NASDAQ Biotechnology Index. Grossman and his family moved to Boca three years ago, and appreciate the region’s high quality of life. “It’s the greatest place in the world to live, work and raise a family,” he said. “We are grateful to the Business Development Board for its dedication to the life sciences industry and its strong partnership with Palm Beach County to bring jobs to the community.”

Evolution Metals Corp. (EMC / Evolution-Metals.com) was formed in January 2020 to counter the global crisis in critical minerals (rare earth metals), which threatens industrial, aerospace, defense, communications and green energy sectors. EMC is headquartered in Palm Beach County, and chose that location because the state and county provide an excellent home for developing businesses. “Our mission is to create a secure, diversified and reliable supply chain for critical minerals,” said David Wilcox, president and CEO of EMC. “Our core management team brings more than 75 years of expertise in science, mining, finance, government and other fields to this endeavor.” Presently, China dominates almost all of the critical minerals market on which the U.S. and its allies are dangerously reliant. Even as China threatens exports to support the U.S. medical and pharmaceutical needs during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Chinese interests are colluding to strangle competition in the critical minerals market. There has been an explosion in demand for rare earth metals and critical minerals that are utilized in many devices people use every day—computers, magnets, cellphones—and that are essential to over 100 U.S. weapons systems. At present, they are primarily available from Chinesecontrolled sources.

EMC’s senior management team includes: n David Wilcox, President and CEO, who holds numerous leadership positions in the private investment space globally. He is a derivatives trading specialist but has also run teams spanning various regulatory overhaul initiatives, driving value from government policy change. n Nathaniel Klein, VP and Head of Operations, who has spent his career in private equity focusing on turnarounds and optimizing portfolio companies. n Tim Foley, CMO, who worked for 20 years in investment research and portfolio management and built teams, implemented strategy and backed startups. n Joe Barbato, COO, who worked at Deutsche Bank for 23 years in both the New York and London offices within the Global Markets Investment Banking Group, with a focus on foreign exchange trading.
