January 9, 2012 BBA Aviation We have worked hard over the last eight years to build Downtown Orlando into the ideal location for corporate and division headquarters in the region and Monday, we celebrate the growth and retention of one of our very own Downtown Orlando companies. BBA Aviation, is the parent company of Signature
Flight Support which services the aviation industry with ground handling
operations including fueling, hangar and office rentals, and a wide
range of crew and passenger amenities at strategic domestic and
international locations. On January 9, 2012, we approved a CRA High Value, High
Wage Job Program and QTI incentive to BBA Aviation, which will allow
them to expand their corporate headquarters to 60,000 square feet in its
current building, create 100 new jobs paying 200% of the Orlando MSA
average annual wage, and retain nearly 200 jobs right here in Downtown
Orlando. November 14, 2011
Federal Grant Helps Local Company, AMCOR PLASTICS,
Expand and stay in Orlando This particular grant allows municipalities to apply for funds to eliminate transportation obstacles to businesses that wish to relocate to or expand in the State of Florida. AMCOR, a global leader in packaging products, needed to create the additional driveway access from Tradeport Drive to accommodate tractor-trailer movements at its new facility in AIPO industrial park. Earlier this year, City Council approved a local Qualified Target Industry (QTI) Tax Refund Resolution for Amcor because they were looking for a new site for their Southeast Operations facility and had identified Georgia and Alabama for potential relocation options. The City of Orlando is pleased to be able to support Amcor through funding for the QTI program and applying for the Transportation Fund grant. Amcor’s decision to stay in Orlando results in the creation of 29 additional jobs, the retention of 97 jobs in our community and a capital investment of nearly $20 million in construction and equipment at their new facility.
