PROFILE PALM BEACH COUNTY BUSINESS | BDB.ORG
We offer an inviting quality of life in a business-friendly, low-tax climate with convenient connections to major U.S. and international destinations. In 2020, Palm Beach County welcomed 11,000 people with a new net income gain flow of $3.4 billion—far exceeding the gains of any other county in the U.S. studied by research firm Unacast. That remarkable growth in population and income contributes to our county’s talent pool, while creating opportunities for business startups, expansions and relocations. In fact, last year Palm Beach County continued to attract a robust stream of new business investment despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. That flow of new investment touched every

part of our county, from Lake Okeechobee to the Atlantic Ocean, further diversifying our economy and creating new career opportunities for residents of all ages. Our team’s outreach efforts continue to pay big dividends, particularly in fields like financial services, life sciences and manufacturing. With more than 300 financial firms now operating in Palm Beach County, we have truly become the “Wall Street of the South.” Last year, we also saw new investments from California companies relocating to our community without missing a beat in serving their national and global customers. Looking ahead, we would like to thank our dedicated
staff, who work diligently to market Palm Beach County and facilitate those important business decisions, as well as the invaluable support we receive from our BDB members. We also deeply appreciate our strong partnerships with 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. We are confident that Palm Beach County will continue to be a magnet for new business investment, creating a bright future for our growing and diverse community.

WELCOME FROM
PALM BEACH COUNTY
Mayor Dave Kerner
The Board of County Commissioners has and will continue to prioritize strategies which serve to provide critical assistance to our community, businesses and vulnerable populations, while maintaining longstanding efforts to retain, attract and diversify businesses that further build resiliency into our local economy. The past year brought difficult challenges rising from the COVID-19 pandemic, but the County has seen success to several aggressive approaches to mitigating impacts to businesses and residents. While there may still be uncertainty as to what the new normal will look like, we stand poised to build upon the many positive attributes that make the County so attractive to industry, residents and tourism. To date, notwithstanding the loss of life and the myriad of social and economic hardships faced by many residents and workers, the County business environment is in a better than average position to rebound from or continue to adapt to the evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is demonstrated by recent job gains, which have been bolstered by businesses reopening and the multitude of new businesses and employers that continue to choose to make Palm Beach County their home. As of March 2021, the County’s unemployment rate dropped to 4.7 percent, which is lower than both the national rate and the State of Florida overall. These figures bring hope to those seeking employment or for advancing professional

growth, while re-affirming the need to ensure we double down on efforts to educate and continue to develop a stable workforce. Nonetheless, while several business sectors have proved more resilient than others and we’ve made several positive gains, we recognize the importance for recovery in other sectors such as leisure and hospitality, which suffered the highest job losses. Employment in many of these businesses continues to lag behind pre-pandemic numbers, with many businesses closing temporarily or permanently, exhausting savings or taking on debt, adjusting to increased costs due to food, labor and equipment shortages, or implementation of new safety protocols. While many are eagerly anticipating a potential boom in tourism resulting from pent up demand and as it becomes safer to travel, we must remain vigilant to safeguard the health and readiness of our workforce, residents and the less fortunate. To this end, we have much to be thankful for. Our success has been a team effort, encompassing many local businesses, institutions, government agencies, community stakeholders and others stepping up to offer assistance to employees or the unemployed, while continuing to problem-solve how to get everyone safely through the pandemic. We cannot begin to express our gratitude to those who sacrificed their own time, money, staffing or facilities to help their employees or County residents who were in dire need of food, shelter or other emergency assistance. While federal assistance took innumerable forms, including direct payments to individuals and families, expediting development

and distribution of vaccines, or bolstering the Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Plan, among many others, the $261 million allocation the County received from the 2020 Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, was instrumental to facilitating local government efforts to target the gaps not addressed through other federal programs. The County acted expeditiously and efficiently to target critical needs disbursing its allocated CARES funds to implement the initial emergency response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This included Countywide testing, mortgage, rental, and utilities assistance, emergency food distribution and addressing other social service needs, as well as an initial set-aside of $60 million for small businesses. The latter was ultimately increased to more than $78 million for the “Restart Business Grant” program, which targeted small businesses with 25 or fewer employees. From May 2020 to November 2020, a total of $78,456,834 was disbursed to 5,182 small businesses, of which more than 91 percent was disbursed to local businesses having five or fewer employees. Nearly 70 percent of those businesses had less than $250,000 in gross receipts or sales. Further, while the Restart program was first-come, first-served to ensure funds were allocated within the deadlines, an analysis of the demographics of the businesses that received assistance was reflective of the overall County demographics, and as such, was an equitable success.
The Restart program and other federally administered CARES Act funding was critical to helping businesses and residents weather the storm, by providing direct and indirect dollars to help pay the mortgages or rent, put food on the table and cover other household expenses. It is anticipated that these ongoing efforts will be bolstered by an anticipated $290 million allocation as part of the 2021 American Recovery Act. As we approach hurricane season, I have great confidence that our past year’s efforts to inform the public and continuously plan for and maintain our disaster response systems will allow us to focus our efforts on a full and equitable economic recovery. It will be critical to continue to build upon a coordinated effort to maintain the existing momentum, addressing new challenges such as increased housing and cost-of-living expenses, while reassessing the needs of industry sectors likely to take longer to recover. I am optimistic and confident that the efforts being taken by our economic development experts, private industry, social service agencies and other stakeholders will continue towards preservation and recovery of existing businesses, while safely reopening so that all employees can return to work, enabling us to adapt to whatever our new normal will be.

Florida Atlantic University
Lynn University
Dynamic programs in science, engineering and entrepreneurship are among Florida Atlantic University’s wide-ranging offerings. For instance, the American Society of Engineering Education has recognized FAU’s College of Engineering and Computer Science as a national leader in diversity in engineering for its commitment to inclusive excellence. At FAU’s John D. MacArthur Campus in Jupiter, Palm Beach County high school students can work with preeminent scientists at Florida Atlantic University Max Planck Academy, supporting STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) careers. It is the latest partnership involving FAU, the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience (MPFI) and the Germany-based Max Planck Society. The College of Business has achieved a high ranking in entrepreneurship studies from The Princeton Review. This spring, Aiden Natalie, a 20-year-old junior, won the $10,000 first prize in the 13th-annual Business Plan Competition for Marine Connex, a new app that helps boaters find nearby services. He plans to use the prize money to develop the product and test-market it this year.
Lynn University in Boca Raton is among the top schools in U.S. News & World Report’s rankings for Best Colleges “Regional Universities— South” and “2021 Best Online Programs.” One important career program 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.
Keiser University Keiser University is Florida’s largest private, not-for-profit university, serving 20,000 students with more than 100 degrees available on 21 campuses. For instance, 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. Altogether, more than 7,000 nursing students have graduated from Keiser University, along with thousands of their peers in health sciences and other careers.

Palm Beach State College
Nova Southeastern University Health care, science, marine conservation and business are among Nova Southeastern University’s career-building programs. Known for business and education partnerships, NSU partnered with Castle Group to develop a new Bachelor’s of Science in Business Administration degree in Property Management and Real Estate. The university is also finishing construction on the Alan B. Levan | NSU Broward Center of Innovation, a 54,000-square-foot facility scheduled to open in mid 2021. NSU’s Respiratory Therapy Program in the Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences is training vitally needed health care professionals. In addition, the Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Allopathic Medicine has been granted preliminary accreditation for its doctor of medicine (MD) program.
Awarding nearly 7,000 degrees and certificates per year, Palm Beach State College is among the five largest colleges in the Florida College System. It’s known to create programs that fill any skill gaps in the local economy through career and technical programs aligned with the county’s economic development. For example, the college held a ribbon-cutting ceremony in April 2021 for its newly renovated welding lab in the Technical Education Center in Belle Glade. By doubling the previous capacity, the college will be able to train more students for the high-demand field and better meet industry needs. The college’s Trade & Industry division has been a key provider of workforce education in Palm Beach County for decades with programs in automotive services, construction, transportation, HVAC, welding, machining, carpentry, cosmetology, landscaping, and supply chain management. All Trade & Industry programs have industry-based accreditations, enabling students to earn sought-after industry certifications before they graduate. Students also gain experience working in the field.
Palm Beach Atlantic University Palm Beach Atlantic University is located in downtown West Palm Beach, but students that attend have a global reach. They travel the world on student missions utilizing the skills learned in the classroom to implement change in fields such as science, government, health care, and many other specialties. PBA’s unique Workship Program provides students with real life, hands-on experience such as improving local communities around South Florida or in countries across the globe. Students have helped build homes for those in need, assisted with natural disaster recovery efforts, and tutored and mentored youngsters in after-school programs. To date, PBA students have volunteered 3.3 million hours of service through Workship, and the skill sets learned on these missions show in recently hired graduates.
School District of Palm Beach County The School District of Palm Beach County is the 10th largest in the nation and the fifth largest in the State of Florida, serving more than 197,000 students who speak 146 languages and dialects. It’s preparing students for careers in a variety of sectors aligned with the region’s economic development and workforce needs through more than 300 choice and career programs at more than 125 schools starting as early as elementary school. For example, robot designing, building and programming are some of the many exciting aspects of the Mechatronics Academy Choice program at the West Technical Education Center. Mechatronics is a multidisciplinary engineering field, giving students valuable skills used in the advanced automated manufacturing industry.
At the Aerospace Science Academy at Boynton Beach Community High School, students learn to fly airplanes by getting into the cockpit and taking the controls. In addition, Palm Beach Lakes Community High School will offer a drone course for students to learn how to fly unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). 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 district is a leader in providing innovative learning opportunities, taught by highly effective instructors with years of experience in their chosen field,” said Jeraline Johnson, director, Choice & Career Options, School District of Palm Beach County.

Sikorsky Finds
Palm Beach County
an Ideal Lift-Off Platform
Since the 1970s, Sikorsky has found northern Palm Beach County to be an ideal location for its helicopter testing and development operations. Now a Lockheed Martin company, Sikorsky continues to be on the leading edge of vertical-lift technology. “We recently finished tests of the U.S. Air Force Combat Rescue Helicopter,” said Heather M. Stewart, director and general manager, West Palm Beach Operations, Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin Company. “We recently delivered this lifesaving aircraft to Moody Air Force Base as it moves into the next stage of the process.” For Sikorsky, Palm Beach County’s clear skies and warm weather are ideal for year-round testing of technology demonstrator aircraft for the U.S. Army’s Future Vertical Lift program, S-97 RAIDER® and SB>1 DEFIANT®, as well as design, production and final assembly operations for other military and commercial helicopters like the multi-mission S-76® and S-92®. The facility has supported the U.S. Black Hawk helicopter program from fuselage to flight to delivery to the customer since 2008. Another advantage is the skilled pool of engineering and aviation professionals. “We have great relationships with the area colleges and universities,” said Stewart, noting that Sikorsky helped develop a course on instrumentation technologies with Palm Beach State College. “We also find
it’s easy to recruit other professionals who fall in love with Palm Beach County.” On the personal side, Stewart enjoys the area’s family-oriented lifestyle with her husband Mark, son Mykah and daughter Mya. “We all like to run and bike, and everyone plays a musical instrument,” she said. “Whenever there is an outdoor music festival, we are there with our lawn chairs.” Stewart became interested in engineering at an early age, earning a mechanical engineering degree from Columbia University and working for P&G in logistics and supply chain operations before joining Sikorsky in 2009, and before moving back to West Palm Beach as the general manager in 2020. “I had been managing factories using automated process, such as robots packing and shipping pallets of P&G products,” she said. “That role gave me a good understanding of how technology impacts the building of helicopters.” At Sikorsky, Stewart managed the company’s Canadian maritime program, became lead strategy analyst and worked on composite materials technology before moving to West Palm Beach in 2020. “This is a great environment for business, and Sikorsky has been very active in supporting the community through the years,” she said. “I’ve always been interested in taking that next step in technology, and that’s exactly what we’re doing right here in Palm Beach County.”

Growth Comes Naturally for Cosmetic Solutions For more than 30 years, Cosmetic Solutions has offered carefully developed skin care, beauty and wellness products from its state-of-the-art production facility in Boca Raton. Now led by Warren Becker, CEO, and his father, Mervyn Becker, chairman, the business is expanding quickly following its acquisition by Lee Equity in 2019. “In the past 18 months, we have acquired a new building next door, brought in new equipment and found new customers,” said Warren Becker. “We now have about 100,000 square feet of space and 150 full-time workers, serving more than 500 private label customers in the U.S. and global markets. What sets us apart is our commitment to innovation. We offer amazing products that power great brands in our market.” When the COVID-19 pandemic hit last year, the cosmetic and OTC manufacturing company shifted gears, making sanitizers for its customers, and making donations to first responders. Since many skin care brands have robust ecommerce sites, Cosmetic Solutions was able to maintain a strong flow of sales for its skin care, body care, specialty hair care, OTC and professional care formulations. “COVID put a spotlight on the wellness movement as it relates to skin care and the value of healthy skin as an investment in well-being,” Becker said. “As consumers have moved away from color cosmetics, they’ve
gravitated much more to products that will keep their skin looking and feeling great.” Last September, Ernst & Young LLP named Mervyn and Warren Becker as Entrepreneurs Of The Year® 2020 Florida Award finalists for their ability to build and sustain successful and transformative businesses. In the late 1980s, world-renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Hilton Becker began developing a natural line of topical treatments for his patients, working with his brother Mervyn to focus on superior, safe and natural active ingredients. “Growing up in Palm Beach County, I went to work for my dad and uncle filling bottles for $2 an hour,” recalled Warren Becker. “I always knew I wanted to go into the family business.” After graduating from the University of Central Florida, Becker worked in New York before returning to Boca Raton, where he and his wife are now raising three young children. “We love going to the beach, surfing and boating,” he said. “This is a great place to live as well as work.” Becker says other advantages include the region’s diverse workforce, access to international airports, low taxes and business-friendly climate. Cosmetic Solutions has built internship programs with area colleges and universities, and hires handicapped adults as part of its community commitment. As Becker said, “We have a great team here. That is really what makes us a great company.”

‘Wall Street South’ a Magnet
Christopher Fay
Welcome to “Wall Street South”! With its high quality of life, low taxes and convenient air connections, Palm Beach County is attracting a growing stream of financial service firms from New York, Connecticut, California and other states. Several financial industry giants plan to create thousands of jobs, and they certainly won’t be the last. In recent years, more than 100 financial services firms have made the decision to ditch the high taxes and snow of the Northeast U.S. for the sunshine and business-friendly environment of Palm Beach County. For instance, NewDay USA, one of the nation’s leading veteran mortgage lenders, announced that it will create 600 new jobs at 360 Rosemary in Rosemary Square in West Palm Beach over the next two years. This new location will serve as the second headquarters for NewDay USA, in addition to its headquarters in Fulton, Maryland. Virtu Financial, one of the latest global financial services firms to move to “Wall Street South”, recently leased a 10,019-square-foot office space in DiVosta Towers in Palm Beach Gardens for its executives, salespeople, traders, and technology staff. “In the past year, we have witnessed the success of working remotely,” said CEO Doug Cifu, who is co-owner of the Florida Panthers NHL team. “At Virtu, we have used this experience to diversify our office footprint outside New York City. Opening a substantial office in Florida makes perfect sense for Virtu. The business and economic environment, growing population and infrastructure make it an obvious choice for our growing business.”

The Business Development Board assisted both companies with services such as incentives, expedited permitting, relocation orientation for employees, residential real estate needs, and access to public and private schools. “Executives of companies relocating to Palm Beach County are signing eight-to-10-year leases,” added Smallridge. “This is not a temporary trend. Executives are purchasing homes, enrolling their children in school and becoming involved in the community.” Other recent arrivals to “Wall Street South” include Elliott Management, a $41 billion fund manager; Colony Capital, formerly based in California; Point72 Asset Management, led by New York Mets owner Steve Cohen; and Wealthspire Advisors, an investment advisory firm n 2,485 financial service firms with $13 billion in assets under mann 37,255 people employed in the sector agement moving to Boca Raton. n $78,032 average salary To support this sector, the “Flan $370,000 average price of a home gler Financial District”, located in the n 42 billionaire households City of West Palm Beach and one of n 71,000 millionaire households America’s few urban sectors specifin 39 years old is the average age cally dedicated to the needs of busiin West Palm Beach ness and finance, has more than 2.5 n 1,000 people are moving to Florida million square feet of office space in everyday the half-mile district, with additional projects in the construction pipeline.

From a new laboratory in West Palm Beach, EXUMA Biotech is creating advanced therapies for difficult types of cancer using genetic reprogramming so a patient’s immune system can recognize “hidden” cancer cells and destroy them. “I’m passionate about the work our team of scientists and researchers are doing,” said Gregory Frost, Ph.D., chairman and CEO. “If successful, this work could make a significant impact in advancing patient care.” EXUMA Biotech now has three products in early clinical development designed to teach the immune system’s T cells how to target liquid and solid cancers without damaging nearby healthy tissue. “This is one of the toughest areas in our field,” said Frost. “But our work may lead to more effective treatments, while accelerating the delivery of care, and reducing hospital stays.” An experienced life sciences entrepreneur, Frost first co-founded Halozyme Therapeutics, a publicly traded oncology company in San Diego in the late ’90s. He moved to Palm Beach County in 2014, and led the Health Sector for Intrexon Corporation (now Precigen) until mid 2015. He founded EXUMA Biotech at the end of 2015 to discover and develop chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell products and delivery solutions, adding operations in the Cayman Islands and Asia, to accelerate the R&D process across multiple time zones.
Frost recruited Sid Kerkar, M.D., formerly from Eli Lilly and Company in New York, to lead EXUMA’s R&D program. Currently, the company has 56 employees. “Palm Beach County is a great location for life sciences companies, because you can fly to New York, Boston or Maryland for meetings and be home for dinner,” he said. “My family loves the schools, culture, and all the water activities.” Frost also appreciates the Atlantic Ocean view from EXUMA Biotech’s new 6,500-square-foot lab. “We can look up from our microscopes and enjoy the view,” Frost said. “It’s a beautiful setting that helps our people stay relaxed when the work gets intense.” While it was challenging to build the lab during the COVID-19 pandemic, Frost said the Business Development Board played an instrumental role in getting things up and running in record time without any major setbacks. “We enjoy our relationship with the Palm Beach County biotech community and are truly excited about the R&D being done in cell therapy through our global operations and the potential therapies for cancer’s most critical patients,” said Frost. “Biotech involves a long journey, and I’m proud of the progress we have made on potentially life-saving cell therapies that could reduce the fiscal burden across the health care system.”

SA Company A Millennial’s Success Story
Amazon has opened several facilities over the past two years, including: 1 million sq. ft. in Jupiter 96,000 sq. ft. in West Palm Beach 75,000 sq. ft. in Boca Raton
LEADING COMPANIES
Growing up in Boca Raton, Thomas DeSernia planned on a career in dentistry. But he always had an entrepreneurial spirit. While in dental school in 2011, he invented a gimbal cover to keep the bottom of a fishing rod from scratching the boat deck. “I used my parents’ candles to melt wax and make a model,” he said. That was the birth of our Salt Armor company.” When the cover didn’t catch on with local retailers, DeSernia’s high school sweetheart Jordana – whom he married last year – suggested using social media to sell fishing T-shirts. “We had been posting photos of fishing and hunting on Instagram, and saw a lot of positive energy,” said DeSernia. “So we did a cool design for the logo, and sold 10 shirts our first day.” As the business got off the ground, DeSernia and his family and friends would hold T-shirt folding parties at his home, shipping them to thousands of customers. “Before long, we were bringing in $1,000 a day from our Instagram accounts, and I knew this was what I wanted to do with my career.” Meanwhile, DeSernia brought in his friend Joe Trebitz as chief marketing officer, and hired classmates from West Boca High School and Nova Southeastern University and Florida Atlantic University, where he had earned degrees in business and biology respectively. As the company expanded its outdoor apparel lines, DeSernia changed the name to SA Company in 2015. He then launched Alpha Defense Gear, a brand of military-themed

outdoor wear. Meanwhile, the company’s Instagram channel kept growing to more than 1 million followers, and DeSernia founded a digital marketing company called SA Marketing or SAMA in 2016. “We saw a unique opportunity to do marketing that helped other companies, and that became our marketing agency,” he said. “We now have more than 100 clients and are one of the biggest ad buyers in the D2C [digital to consumer] world.” More recently, DeSernia drew on his dental training to launch the Zimba brand of teeth whitening products, which now has more than 400,000 customers. Last year, SA Company also expanded its line of outdoor face coverings and face shields to meet the demand for COVID-19 personal protective equipment. “We donated a face shield to front-line workers every time we received an order, and partnered with the Boca Raton police department to give away 10,000 shields in one day,” DeSernia said. Today, SA Company is a global lifestyle brand with 170 employees at several facilities throughout Palm Beach County, including a large distribution hub. “Our focus is selling high-quality products at a realistic price,” DeSernia said. Reflecting his remarkable entrepreneurial skills as a Millennial, DeSernia was named to Forbes’ “30 Under 30” list for retail and ecommerce in 2019. “We built the SA Company brand from my bedroom,” he said. “With its year-round sunshine, ocean and lakes, Palm Beach County is a great place for an outdoor brand.”

EUROPA MANUFACTURING Serves Global Customer Base Using fiber and CO2 lasers, press brakes, CAD, 3D prototyping and other sophisticated technology, Europa Manufacturing, Inc. has rapidly built a worldwide customer base for its multifaceted custom manufactured products, ranging from electronic chassis to armor plates for bulletproof vests, security access boxes, and casings for medical equipment. “We’ve invested more than $1 million in new machinery to increase our factory’s efficiency and capability in order to remain competitive,” said Richard Spagna, president and CEO of the Boca Raton-based company. “We work closely with our customers” engineering teams to reduce cost and improve their designs.” Founded in the 1980s by Richard Buchert as Europa Metal Fabricators, the company became a valued metal parts supplier to Spagna’s parent company, SenTech EAS Corporation. “When Richard Buchert decided to retire in 2017, I stepped in to buy the assets and keep the business going,” Spagna said. “We were able to retain their employees, including Richard’s son Charles Buchert, who is a valued asset to our engineering and management team.” At that time, Europa had minimal orders in the pipeline, so Spagna along with other members of his team visited all major customers to reassure them that the company under new management would continue to serve them with the same high level of service they had come to expect, while also going out and gaining new customers. “The major machinery investment, including a fiber laser and large press brake, allowed us to take on jobs requiring thicker and larger metals and has helped us gain new customers. We can now make parts that were not possible in the past. The industries we serve providing custom metal and plastics parts include aerospace, defense, marine, medical, electronics, security, retail, and many others,” said Spagna.
He added that Europa works closely with customers on new product designs, helping them to produce prototypes as well as a finished product that is designed to be easily manufactured. “Our scalable production capabilities allow us to handle any size orders from one-off to large projects for national and international customers.” In 2019, Europa was recognized by the South Florida Manufacturers Association as a finalist for the South Florida Manufacturer-of-the-Year Award. Europa was also a sponsor of the Tech-Tigers 4-H Robotics Club in the competition “Destination Deep Space—presented by Boeing.” Since 2017, Europa has provided precision metal fabrication and engineering support at no charge for the robotics club, inspiring interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).

Responding to COVID-19, Europa used its engineering expertise to design and rapidly produce plastic shields and personal protective equipment (PPE), now installed in county courthouses, public utilities, government facilities, and hospitals, throughout Florida, and thousands of stores for large national retail chains. Despite the challenges of the pandemic, Europa has maintained its highly experienced and tenured employee base. “Our facility is close to I-95 and to international airports,” said Spagna. “In addition, there are beautiful beaches, great restaurants and hotels for our customers when they visit our facility. For our company, being located in Palm Beach County is ideal.”

The total five-year economic impact to the region is estimated to be at least $242 million. “We are excited about the prospect of being part of the Belle Glade community,” said CEO Allen Finfrock. “We have been working closely with the Business Development Board and city and county officials to help bring this project to fruition.” Based in Orlando, FINFROCK expects to invest more than $36 million into its new 140,000-square-foot precast concrete manufacturing facilities and administrative offices on 94 acres at Glades Gateway Commerce Park. “We have been serving South and Southwest Florida for more than 20 years,” said Bill Finfrock, president. “Our new modern facility in Belle Glade will help us serve these populous Florida communities in a faster, better, and very cost-efficient manner.” The Finfrock brothers lead the familyowned, vertically integrated company, launched by their grandfather in 1945. “Through the years, we have done turnkey parking garages, apartments, student housing, hotels and offices,” said Bill Finfrock. “We have already designed, manufactured and constructed more than 40 parking garages in the tri-county area. Now, we can bring that expertise to a wide range of commercial projects, including high-rise mixed-use and office buildings and FINFROCK’s new plant at Belle Glade luxury residential developments.” The FINFROCK facility will bring a variety of jobs at several skill levels to the Glades, along with opportunities for career advancement and additional training through science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) initiatives. To that end, FINFROCK plans to work closely with local high schools and technical schools, such as West Technical Education Center, Palm Beach State College and CareerSource Palm Beach County, to provide training and long-term career options. “This is the largest economic development project that the Business Development Board has facilitated in the Glades Region in 30 years,” said Kelly Smallridge, president and CEO of the Business Development Board. “It will be transformational due to the size of the newly constructed building, capital investment and new jobs created. This company is going to be a great corporate citizen for the entire Glades region.”

THE MOVE More Than Ever Before! PALM BEACH COUNTY welcomes corporate executives, entrepreneurs
and their teams to one of the nation’s most appealing business environments, coupled with a hot residential market. The average age in Palm Beach County is younger than ever before, and the average housing cost is much lower than areas like San Francisco and New York City. It’s not just CEOs relocating to Palm Beach County; they’re bringing their entire workforce, including young leaders in their 20s. There are certainly many luxury housing options, but with 39 cities and towns, there are residential options for everyone. “Palm Beach County continues to attract the leadership of established corporations at an unprecedented rate,” said Arthur Martens, partner/broker associate, KW Luxury Int’l Palm Beaches. “Clients continue to comment on the value they find here both in price and in business climate,” said Martens, citing a recent California buyer who commented that prices still reflect a 30 percent discount relative to the current community. “Another buyer, whose business engages with the top financial firms on Wall Street, commented that he’s looking forward to working in a state and county that are ‘open for business.’”

THE MOVE
More Than Ever Before!
A recent report by location analytics company Unacast found the top Florida county for both people and income growth was Palm Beach County—by a wide margin. “Welcoming a total inflow of some 11,000 people in 2020, Palm Beach County is flush with new income flow: some $3.4 billion in gains over 2019, or about $2,165 per person. “Southeast Florida is unlike any other region we have studied in the COVID era. Population growth and new wealth is the new norm,” the report stated.
Highlights from the Unacast report include: n

Palm Beach County is the No. 1 county for both people and income growth by a wide margin compared to other counties studied in the state of Florida. Palm Beach County welcomed 11,000 people during 2020 with a new net income gain flow of $3.4 billion—far exceeding the gains of any other county in the U.S. studied by Unacast. 41 percent of moves to Palm Beach County were from the New York City area, the most in the state of Florida. Average per capita income flow incoming was $80,282. Palm Beach County is the No. 1 South Florida county considered an “emerging area” based on migration trends. Palm Beach County, grouped with St. Lucie and Indian River counties, has gained $8.3 billion in income, 9,300 people, and about 30,000 New York City visitors per month. 70,000 high-net-worth individuals left New York City, taking $34 billion in lost income with them. Billions of dollars are changing addresses, and New York City is a prime point of departure.
