"Today's announcement is more proof that Florida is well-positioned to lead the country's economic growth in the next generation, as we compete and succeed in a global marketplace."
"The new ABC-Univision network will be headquartered in a state-of-the art facility and will retain and attract the very best talent in the industry, creating a thriving and dynamic production hub that will undoubtedly benefit Miami-Dade County and the State of Florida," said Cesar Conde, president, Univision Networks. "We're very happy that through this historic venture we will be able to continue contributing to the job growth and progress of Florida."
"This is a huge win for our entire community and it illustrates the growth potential of the creative industries, one of the seven target industries of the One Community One Goal Strategic Plan," said Frank R. Nero, President and CEO of The Beacon Council. "The impact of the high paying direct and indirect jobs will be felt throughout our community as the new network will attract a multitude of suppliers, vendors and talent to Miami-Dade." Among incentives offered, the firm has been approved for $3.5 million in Targeted Jobs Incentive Funds.
