As we head into the summer months, our thoughts often drift towards family vacations, trips to the beach and outdoor barbecues. But this summer, things may really heat up and could continue to do so into the future. This comprehensive forecast addresses many critical issues facing consumers and includes a 30-year forecast horizon. This issue is a valuable tool for longterm planners in both the private and public sectors. As such, we will continue to produce these long-range forecasts the second quarter of each year. This publication is built upon the foundation of our nationally recognized U.S. Forecast which also is produced each quarter by the Institute for Economic Competitiveness. These quarterly forecasts have proven to be very successful. Information from previous editions has appeared in many national publications. Dr. Sean Snaith uses a clever and unique format to present his research. His success will soon be crossing over to broadcast as well. In the fall, Sean will begin hosting his own television show, Money Talks, and will address many of the same popular subjects included in his printed publications.

U . S . E c o n o m y S t umb l e s S U V Ow n e r s G r umb l e H o u s i n g S t a r t s Tumb l e P r o pe r t y Ta x Rumb l e F o r eca s t e r s H umb l e First quarter real GDP growth, revised down from a slow 1.3% to a paltry 0.6%, was confirmation that the housing slowdown had a firm grip on the U.S. economy. It was also clear that the hole the economy had to climb out of was going to be a little deeper than some forecasters had anticipated. However, this unexpectedly deeper hole still was not close to being the grave in which the current expansion would find its final resting place. The additional foreclosure activity caused by sub-prime mortgages and shady lending practices added to an already bloated inventory of new and existing homes. The first quarter’s GDP numbers changed the outlook for the U.S. economy, but not dramatically. Two years ago, most forecasters prognosticated that an end to the current expansion would be the final act in the housing drama. While I wouldn’t exactly label it a happy ending, it appears that in the aggregate, it will not be the housing-centric tragedy portrayed by some. I know I often repeat myself, but gasoline prices feel like deja vu all over again. Gasoline prices headed south in Florida earlier in the year, and at one point, they were testing the $2.00 floor in some locations. But quicker than a NASA countdown, they were back on their way up, this time revisiting previous

highs ($3.00 per gallon) felt in the wake of hurricane Katrina. However, there is evidence that consumers are not as shocked by the high prices during this recent surge. SUV owners are grumbling at the pump as they fill up their gas-guzzlers, but there is no evidence that they are slamming the brakes on spending as they did in the fourth quarter of 2005. That’s good news. The current expansion seems to be akin to a drugresistant bacterial infection. One medicine alone is not enough to cure the infection, rather it requires a cocktail of medicines. It looks like it will take a combination of negative shocks to precipitate the next recession, such as a housing slowdown combined with one or more of the following: $100-per-barrel oil, a large interest rate spike due to slowdown in capital flows from the rest of the world, inflation taking root, or Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke going on a hunting trip with Vice President Cheney. Table 1 presents select results from the May 2007 U.S. forecast publication. This publication, along with all forecast publications, is available for download from the Institute for Economic Competitiveness web site: www.iec.ucf.edu. The forecast reflects a slowing of the U.S. economy in 2007. Consumer spending decelerates in response to a slowing housing market and as a precautionary measure after enduring yet another spike in energy prices. Consumer spending will grow at a slightly faster pace in the second half of the year. The soft landing is in progress, and after touchdown and refueling of a few quarters, the economy will be poised to take off again in the latter half of 2008.

The H o u s i n g S o uff l é : I t ’ s G o i n g t o B e T o ugh t o Swa l l o w f o r Se l l e r s Housing starts will continue to fall off in 2007 and 2008, as mortgage rates continue their slow climb and housing inventories are finally sold off. The subprime debacle, unscrupulous mortgage brokers, and dishonest borrowers have prolonged the adjustment period with loans that were destined to fail and foreclosures dumped back into an already glutted market. This has primarily been a fundamentalsdriven expansion in the housing sector (as opposed to a purely speculative bubble), and, as long as the fundamentals remain solid as they have thus far, the soufflé will not collapse. There is no sign that the demographic, macroeconomic, and financial underpinnings of the housing market will completely dissipate. In terms of prices, there will be some cooling, and the soufflé is now settling. As we look at the rest of the year and into 2008, the loftiness of the soufflé will continue to give way, as mortgage rates rise. The talk of a national housing bubble has thankfully begun to fade and in a few years time will just seem like a lot of hot air. The special session in the Florida legislature ended with a resolution (OK, kind of a resolution) to property tax reform. The issue is not fully resolved, but some of the uncertainty surrounding the issue has been cleared. This will help the housing market in Florida as many potential buyers stayed on the sidelines as the war of words raged in Tallahassee and across the state. All this considered, there will still be pockets of pain throughout the state and particularly in areas where condo flipping spurred excessive building. It will not be easy to sell a home in the next two to four quarters, at least. This is a result of the large inventories available, not because demand has withered away. Houses are selling, but it might not be the one you have up for sale. Buyers can afford to be picky, and they will — on price and other amenities. The humble forecasters referred to at the beginning of this write-up were not economic forecasters. It is well know that they have egos larger than an NFL player’s rap sheet. The humble forecasters I am hoping for will be the hurricane prognosticators. I know it

doesn’t seem kosher to wish another forecaster to fall on his face, but in this case I think it is OK from a karma standpoint. I would like to see another year (or 20) without a major hurricane hitting Florida because of the risk we have all assumed to subsidize coastal development and underwrite insurance in these regions. One or more major hurricanes hitting the state could lead to a financial crisis that will make the current housing worries seem minor.

Sh o r t Ru n H igh l igh t s o f t he F l o r i d a F o r eca s t 2007-2009 • Payroll employment forecasted to grow at 1.5% in 2007, with growth accelerating to 1.9% in 2008 and 2.7% by 2009. • Forecasted high-growth sectors include: Professional and Business Services, Transportation, Warehousing and Utility, Education and Health Services, and Leisure. • The housing sector will continue to cool; housing starts will hit their low point in 2007 and begin to rise in 2008 and 2009. In 2009, housing starts will return to 2001 levels. • The housing soufflé continues to cool. Prices have been under pressure due to large inventories, but the fundamental drivers of housing demand remain in place and are preventing a more precipitous drop. • Construction employment will shrink in 2007 and 2008 but will rebound in 2009. • Gross State Product to grow at an average annual growth rate of 5.8% from 2007 to 2009. • Unemployment to rise slowly to 3.6% in 2008 and 2009, but this rate is still in excess of 1% lower than forecasts for the national unemployment rate. • Personal income growth accelerating from 6.1% in 2007 to 7.1% in 2009. Institute for Economic Competitiveness

F l o r i d a Summa r y

F o r eca s t o f t he F l o r i d a Economy — 2036 • Statewide population will be in excess of 29 million. • Gross State Product will reach nearly $3.7 trillion dollars up from 729 billion in 2006. • Personal income to reach $3.5 trillion in 2036 up from $647 billion in 2006. • The Florida economy in 2036 will be more than twice the size of California’s economy today. • Statewide non-farm payroll employment over 13 million in 2036 up from 8 million in 2006.

Ou t l o o k f o r F l o r i d a 2007-2009 G r o s s S t a t e P r o d uc t The Florida economy will continue to see strong growth across our forecast horizon. Aggregate output of the state, nominal Gross State Product (GSP), the state-level analogue to Gross Domestic Product, expanded at an incredible rate of 7.0% in 2006. From 2007 to 2009, GSP will grow at an average rate of 5.8%. During this period, growth will be the strongest in 2009 at 6.6%, rising from 5.0% in 2007. This predicted level of growth is above the nominal GDP growth rate forecast for the national economy during the same time period (4.95 %). Nominal Gross State Product is expected to reach $864 billion by 2009 and will surpass the $900-billion mark the following year. Real Gross State Product, Gross State Product adjusted for changes in prices, saw growth of 5.5% in 2006, but a rise in prices and a slowing economy is expected to shrink growth to 2.5% for 2007. Growth will accelerate in 2008 and 2009 at 3.9% and 4.5%, respectively.

Florida & Metro Forecast

P e r s o n a l I n c o me , Re t ai l Sa l e s , a n d A u t o Sa l e s Personal income growth will decelerate through 2007 but still remain slightly above 6%. Growth will strengthen in 2008 and 2009 with growth rates of 6.3% and 7.1%, respectively. Real disposable income is expected to grow an average of 4.4% from 2007 to 2009 after another surge in energy prices and the housing slowdown have weighed down growth in 2006 and will still be a drag in 2007. In 2008 and 2009, receding price inflation and a resurgent economy will once again power real disposable income growth to 4.6% and 5.0%, above the 4.2% average growth rate of the last ten years. Energy prices continue to wreak havoc on consumer’s pocket books. This year, prices fell close to the $2-dollar-per-gallon level only to launch like the space shuttle back up to $3 per gallon in a matter of weeks. The volatility of energy prices coupled with the housing slowdown will conspire to erode consumer confidence and spending to some extent. This will lead to the slowest growth in retail spending in several years. The slowdown in spending growth will be short-lived, with consumers picking things up again in 2008-2009. Retail spending will exceed $300 billion in 2009. After three episodes of gasoline prices at or near the $3-per-gallon level, consumers have continued to shy away from purchases of trucks and SUVs. Vehicle fuel efficiency, rather than the size, has once again become an important characteristic of vehicle purchases for consumers. Foreign manufacturers of fuel-efficient (hybrid and gasoline) vehicles have enjoyed a rising market share at the expense of American firms, who continue to struggle. An easing of energy prices is expected, but wholesale declines in energy prices are not in the cards. Unlike the 1970s, the rise in energy prices had largely been a demand-side phenomenon, and global demand is not likely to wane in the foreseeable future.

F l o r i d a Summa r y

E mp l o y me n t Payroll employment growth in the state was around 3.6% for 2006 and is expected to grow by 1.5% in 2007; this figure is compared to national job growth of 1.9% and 1.2% for 2006 and 2007. For the next two years, employment growth should continue to outpace that of the nation as a whole (1.2%) and average 2.3% in Florida. The growth rate will accelerate from 2007 through 2009, and new jobs will be created at an annual rate of 2.7% in 2009. The Construction sector, which has seen sweltering growth in recent years (average payroll employment of 10.2% during 2004-2006), will finally begin to show the effects of the significant cooling in the housing market. In 2007 and 2008, however, this sector will experience something that it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen since the early 1990s â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a decline in payroll employment. The time it will take to work off the large inventory of new and existing housing for sale and the dramatic reduction of projects that builders have in the pipeline will drive significant losses in the residential construction sector. A still vibrant commercial and civil construction job market will not be able to absorb the excess labor. Job losses in 2007 and 2008 should be -1.9% and -1.3%, respectively. The sector will recover in 2009 with jobs growing at 2.1% that year. The Professional and Business Services sector is a sector that continues to show robust growth in Florida as well as nationally. 2006 growth came in at 3.9%, and we are forecasting this growth to decelerate along with the overall economy to 2.8% in 2007 before rising to 7.3% in 2009. The Transportation, Warehousing, and Utility sector should see growth accelerate in 2008 and 2009, with growth rising to 3.1% and 3.5% in these years. This acceleration follows a slowing of growth in 2007 to 0.7%. The Transportation, Warehousing, and Utility sector growth has been hampered by volatile energy prices in the past couple of years that resulted in employment growth dropping from 4.1% in 2005 to a forecast growth of 2.0% for 2006. As energy prices settle in the future and the housing hangover fades, this sector will resume its upward trend. Manufacturing will continue to contract in Florida and throughout the nation as well. Between 2007

and 2009, an additional 8,000 jobs will be lost. These losses will increase the number of manufacturing jobs lost over the 1999 to 2009 period to 75,700 jobs. Two factors continue to drive the fall in manufacturing employment â&#x20AC;&#x201C; increasing pressure from emerging economies and increased productivity of labor. The hemorrhaging of jobs from this sector has slowed to a trickle, but the bleeding will continue through 2009.

U n emp l o y me n t Unemployment rates in the state averaged 3.3% in 2006 and will gradually rise to 3.6% in 2009. Unemployment rates in the state will remain well below national unemployment rates, which are expected to average 4.8% from 2007 to 2009.

• A method called design-build, which is “a project in which the design and construction crews form one team,” is expected to cut the costs and time required to complete the expansion. • The entire project is expected to be finished in 2010, with a cost of $430 million. Source: News-Press Southwest Florida, May 14, 2007 $12 million, new name for local college • International College has changed its name to Hodges University due to a $12 million donation by Naples philanthropists Earl and Thelma Hodges. • Although no specific plans have been made for the donation, the money is expected to be spent on new classes, buildings, and hopefully doctorate programs and is the single largest donation to any public or private institution in Collier County history. Source: Naples Daily News, May 15, 2007 Affordable housing set to rise in Bonita • Developer Mitchell & Stark hope to begin construction this summer of 39 affordable, family-sized, energy-efficient houses for service workers like teachers, nurses, police officers, and firefighters in Bonita. • An estimate for the first two parts of development, which include roads, sidewalks, and water/sewer lines, is about $540,000, and the city is helping to fund these developments. • Collier County is just one area moving toward affordable housing for its estimated 25,000 to 30,000 low-paid service workers in their communities. This is an ambitious undertaking by developers since there is little or no profit in affordable housing developments. Source: The News-Press Southwest Florida, May 13, 2007 Season a disappointment, area retailers say • Naples retailers said they experienced an oddly slow season so far this year, mainly in April, for retail sales in their area.

• The retailers in the area attribute the dramatic drop and erratic sales to three things: the housing market slump, a national retail slowdown, and increased competition from new retailers, saying “retail in Naples has gotten too diversified.” • Business percentage drops ranged from just a few percent in some stores, to about 50 or 60 percent at KBX Boutique.

Whitaker School of Engineering. • The new 70,000-square-foot building is funded by three sources: a $5 million donation from Naples resident Burtt Holmes, $5 million by the state, and $2.5 million from the Ginn Company.

P r o fi l e s Comprised of Marion County only, the Ocala MSA is located northwest of the Orlando area in the center of the state. The second-largest national forest in Florida, the Ocala National Forest, and Silver Springs are two main outdoor attractions in the area. Quick Facts: • Population estimate of 316,183 as of July 1, 2006 (U.S. Census Bureau) • A civilian labor force of 130,055 in December 2006 (Florida Regional Economic Database) • An unemployment rate of 3.2%, not seasonally adjusted. This amounts to 4,157 unemployed people. (Florida Regional Economic Database) Top Area Employers: • Marion County School Board – 5,700 employees • Munroe Regional Medical Center – 2,427 employees • State of Florida (all departments) – 2,263 employees • Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. – 1,935 employees • Publix Super Markets, Inc. – 1,400 employees • Marion County Board of County Commissioners – 1,319 employees • Ocala Regional Medical Center & West Marion Community Hospital – 1,301 employees • Emergency One, Inc. – 1,274 employees • City of Ocala – 1,100 employees • Cingular Wireless – 1,000 employees Source: Ocala/Marion Economic Development Council

Ou t l o o k Summa r ie s Ocala is projected to experience the second highest average quarterly change in per capita income growth at 7.3%. Additionally, Ocala is projected to lead the state in population growth at an average quarterly rate of 3.9% as the region continues to grow and expand. The professional and business services sector will experience the most growth at an average quarterly rate of 4.5%; educational and health services will also exhibit strong growth at a rate of 3.1%.

M e t r o New s Summa r ie s Builder looks at Ocala as site for expansion plans • Ocala is trying to attract the Crystal River company American Spaceframe Fabricators International, the builders of Tampa’s Ford Amphitheater. The company specializes in the design and construction of steel frame buildings with fabric membrane roofs. • American Spaceframe currently employs 23 workers with an annual payroll of slightly under $1 million but would like to expand that number to about 75 to 85 employees on a $1.5 to $1.76 million annual payroll. • The City Council has approved an economic improvement grant valued at $115,000 for the company’s relocation expenses. Source: Ocala Star-Banner, May 9, 2007 Schools OK $55 million in bonds for renovations • Marion County Public Schools will issue $55 million in bonds to renovate three schools in the area. The county was able to maintain an “A” bond rating, which will, in turn, mean lower interest rates and cheaper bond insurance. • The county’s only worry is how the restructuring of property taxes, which is supposed to take place in June, will affect the county’s bond rating.

Number of home permits drops • In April, Marion County issued the lowest number of new single-family home permits since 2003. There is no definitive answer to whether this indicates that new home construction is headed for an even quicker slowdown. • Despite the stagnation on the new-homes market, overall building has not fully dissipated; in fact, many permits are being issued for additions to existing homes. Source: Ocala Star-Banner, May 8, 2007 Rate increase set to zap Ocala Electric customers • Electricity rates spiked in Ocala, an increase of nearly $2.50 per 1,000 kilowatt hours. Ocala’s City Council decided to dip into its $18.3 million utilities “rate stabilization” fund in the amount of $2 million to lessen the shock to consumers. • Ocala residents might also expect an increase in their water bill; the new rate is $5.40 for 800 cubic feet of water. Source: Ocala Star-Banner, March 22, 2007 Fire service rates could go up • Marion County commissioners recently released news of a 10 percent increase in the annual fire assessment. An owner of a single-family home currently pays an annual assessment for fire service of about $166, with a 10 percent increase this will raise to almost $183.

P r o fi l e s The Orlando – Kissimmee MSA is comprised of Lake, Orange, Osceola, and Seminole counties. Located in the southern center of the state, this area is home to numerous tourist attractions such as Walt Disney World and numerous other Disney enterprises, Universal Studios, and Sea World. It is also home to the Orlando Magic, the Orlando Predators arena football team, and Atlanta Braves spring training at Disney’s Wide World of Sports. The University of Central Florida, the nation’s seventh-largest university, and many other places of higher education also reside in the MSA. Quick Facts: • MSA population estimate of 1,984,855 as of July 1, 2006 (U.S. Census Bureau) • Lake County population estimate of 290,435 as of July 1, 2006 (U.S. Census Bureau) • Orange County population estimate of 1,043,500 as of July 1, 2006 (U.S. Census Bureau) • Osceola County population estimate of 244,045 as of July 1, 2006 (U.S. Census Bureau) • Seminole County population estimate of 406,875 as of July 1, 2006 (U.S. Census Bureau) • A civilian labor force for the MSA of 1,074,583 in December 2006 (Florida Regional Economic Database) • An unemployment rate of 2.9%, not seasonally adjusted. This amounts to 30,721 unemployed people in the Orlando MSA. (Florida Regional Economic Database) Top Area Employers: • Walt Disney Co. – 56,800 employees • Orange County Public Schools – 24,063 employees • Florida Hospital (Avent Health System) – 19,270 employees

Ou t l o o k Summa r ie s Orlando’s economy will experience the strongest employment growth statewide with an expected average quarterly change of 3.1%. Additionally, Orlando remains a strong performer in many economic indicators, ranking near the top of the state in per capita income level, average annual wage, and gross metropolitan product. The professional and business services sector will experience the most growth at an average quarterly rate of 6.4%; educational and health services will also exhibit strong growth at a rate of 3.4%.

M e t r o New s Summa r ie s Darden abandons Smokey Bones • In May, Orlando-based Darden Restaurants announced that it would be shutting down more than 50 of its Smokey Bones restaurants and selling the remaining franchises. Darden stated that the reasoning behind the closure of the seemingly popular barbecue franchise was the failure of the restaurants to take hold in the Midwest and the southeast, and that the menu and atmosphere turned off many potential customers.

Growing Alafaya Trail drives business bonanza • Development in the Alafaya trail corridor south of S.R. 50 is continuing at a feverish pace. The increase in commercial retail outlets is being driven by the high median income in this area of east Orange County. • Plans to widen Alafaya Trail at Avalon Park Boulevard, and connect it to S.R. 528, eventually reaching Orlando International Airport, are part of Mayor Crotty’s vision for an Innovation Way. The proposed extension would connect UCF to Orlando International Airport and drive up not only high technology business throughout the corridor, but also the retail submarket. Source: Orlando Sentinel, April 23, 2007 Freshening up I-Drive • The Orlando Planning Department has begun discussion on the possible redevelopment of International Drive, amid concerns that visitors to Orlando most remember the area, now crowded with aging hotels and attractions, and oversaturated with signage and advertisements. • Potential plans for I-Drive include several new attractions and hotels, condominiums, a move toward a mixed residential and commercial area, and the formation of a “Grand Boulevard” of shops and development south of I-4 toward Sand Lake Road.

The Palm Bay – Melbourne – Titusville MSA is comprised of Brevard County only. Typically known as “Florida’s Space Coast,” this area is home to the Kennedy Space Center. Located in the central part of Florida’s east coast, the region is home to Cape Canaveral Air Force Base, Patrick Air Force Base, and government contractors such as Harris Corporation. Like much of Florida, this area is growing fast; Port Canaveral is now a leading cruise-ship port.

Palm Bay will continue to remain strong in many economic indicators, exhibiting per capita personal income and average annual wage ranked near the top of the state at levels of 42.8 and 45.0, respectively. The professional and business services sector will experience the most growth at an average quarterly rate of 2.9%, with educational and health services and leisure also exhibiting strong growth with rates of more than 2.5%.

Quick Facts: • Population estimate of 534,359 as of July 1, 2006 (U.S. Census Bureau) • A civilian labor force of 261,914 in December 2006 (Florida Regional Economic Database) • An unemployment rate of 3.2%, not seasonally adjusted.

German tour operator inks pact with Melbourne International • A marketing agreement has been negotiated between Melbourne International Airport and German tour operator M-Touristik AG. The agreement will bring 200 passengers to the area on weekly charter flights through 2008 and ultimately increase tourists by as many as 6,000 people as well as inject $6 million into the local economy. Source: Orlando Business Journal, March 26, 2007 Palm Bay mulls service cuts • Palm Bay city officials are becoming concerned about proposed property tax cuts by the Florida legislature. The tax cuts could be detrimental to the community, which stands to lose $11.9 million, 45 percent of its property tax income, which composes 19 percent of the city’s overall budget. • Palm Bay’s city manager has gone as far as to say that service cuts could come in the form of abandoning annual Independence Day fireworks or even closing the community center. Source: Florida Today, March 21, 2007 CRA Funds drive downtown revitalizations • Community redevelopment agencies are starting to turn once neglected areas along the coast into sought after destinations. Titusville’s downtown has been revitalized through community redevelopment agencies, and other cities are taking suit. Rockledge is redeveloping main thoroughfare Barton Avenue, and Satellite Beach is undergoing a number of capital improvements, including the renovation of Pelican Beach Park.

Palm Bay offers $140K in breaks to engineering design firm • Illinois-based engineering design firm Bombardier, has been offered nearly $140,000 dollars in tax breaks over ten years to relocate their engineering design team from Illinois to Palm Bay. The tax breaks are an incentive for the firm’s relocation from Illinois to Palm Bay, which would bring 16 high-tech jobs and result in the construction of a new mechanical shop for $1.7 million. Source: Florida Today, February 28, 2007 Home construction pace remains slow • Brevard County’s home construction market has continued to stagnate through the second quarter of 2007. Home permits were down to 201 in April, a low compared to previous April’s. Home permits for the first four months of 2007 were down 61 percent from 2006 numbers. This is evidence of the peak in Brevard housing prices in 2005 and their subsequent decline. Source: Florida Today, May, 16, 2007
