"Early this week, leaders of South Florida's three countywide economic development agencies are scheduled to touch down in Manhattan for a shopping trip of their own - but the priority won't be to browse through Bergdorf Goodman or Saks Fifth Avenue. Their holiday lists include unnamed New York-based companies that might be interested in relocating operations to Palm Beach, Broward or Miami-Dade counties, or at the very least, might consider setting up regional offices in the tri-county area."
"Why would a company do that? Just read the New York Post. The city, the headlines blare, is awash in rampant crime, homelessness, suffocating taxes, over-the-top housing prices, and government by stifling regulation. And, a majority of the city's voters just elected Zohran Mamdani as mayor, a Democratic Socialist who critics insist will deliver more of the same."
"The three-day visit, which starts Tuesday and runs through Thursday, will include meetings among corporate executives, site selectors, professional advisers, and other key market influencers to reinforce the strong business ties between the two regions and spotlight new cross-market opportunities."
South Florida's three countywide economic development agencies are visiting Manhattan to court New York-based companies for relocation or regional-office setups in Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties. The outreach follows negative New York headlines about crime, homelessness, high taxes, steep housing costs and regulatory burdens, and notes voter election of Zohran Mamdani. The agencies characterize the visit as driven by deep economic and industry connections and shared companies and talent across both markets. The three-day delegation will meet with corporate executives, site selectors, professional advisers and other market influencers to reinforce ties and spotlight cross-market opportunities.
