Medical Marijuana – Florida’s current gold rush

By: Max Crampton-Thomas

2 Min read October 2020 — It has been almost four years since the State of Florida passed Amendment 2, also known as the Florida Medical Marijuana Legalization Initiative, and since then business has been booming. Despite only being legal since November 2016, the medical marijuana industry in Florida has quickly become a multibillion-dollar operation that has shown no indication of a slowdown in growth.

The rapid progression of the industry has attracted the attention of savvy investors, businesses and entrepreneurs, all looking to capitalize on what seems to be Florida’s next “gold rush.” Tower Commercial Real Estate, one of South Florida’s leading full-service commercial real estate brokerage firms, was one of the organization’s to take early notice of the opportunity in medical marijuana. After closing $50 million worth of cannabis-related industrial and retail transactions in Florida, which equated to successful transactions for 35 dispensaries, the firm announced in July 2019 the creation of a cannabis division as part of its Tenant Representation platform.

“Working with cannabis companies requires a different level of service, attention and an immense amount of time,” noted Tower CRE’s Senior Director Rob Foster in a press release. “Through experiencing the pitfalls early on in our tenure, we have been able to create and implement a process that is efficient and effective. We have a full team that navigates through each requirement from the infancy phase to move-in. The number of transactions we have completed to date has allowed us to hone in on a precise formula to uncover new opportunities, and we have found tremendous success leading rapid expansionary efforts for our clients.”

Even now as most businesses are reeling and recovering from the challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the medical marijuana industry has thrived. As displayed by the 134 million milligrams of medical marijuana sold statewide between Sept. 11 and Sept. 17, the industry has seen more people than ever turning their attention to the benefits of medical marijuana to help treat their anxiety, pain and ailments during this uncertain time.

While opportunity abounds in Florida’s medical marijuana space, the state has been noted as having a licensing process that still needs some refining. Florida’s Supreme Court is in the process of deliberating on whether or not the regulatory structure in place favors some businesses receiving medical marijuana treatment licenses over others. This case was brought to the court by Tampa-Based Florigrown, which is arguing that Amendment 2 was written in a way that favored specific medical marijuana companies.

“This is everything but a free market. It has created a monopoly,” Florigrown attorney Katherine Giddings said about the company’s challenge to the legislation.

To date, 22 companies have medical marijuana treatment licenses in the state of Florida. Despite the challenges presented by the structure of Amendment 2, these organizations are growing and expanding their operations all over Florida, hoping to capitalize on the prime opportunities present in the region. One of the most recent entries to the market is California-based Cookies, which is eyeing South Beach as its first retail location.

“Our team is excited and extremely humbled to be able to own one of the few licenses in Florida,” rapper Berner, CEO and founder of Cookies, told the South Florida Business Journal.

Despite the controversies, medical marijuana in Florida appears poised to continue its upward trajectory, solidifying its reputation as Florida’s green gold.

City of Westlake is on an upward trajectory.

By: Felipe Rivas

2 min read October 2020 — Located in western Palm Beach County, the city of Westlake continues to attract new homeowners, even in the midst of a pandemic.Minto Communities USA, the master developer and lead home builder, is overseeing the growth of the county’s newest city as Westlake, established in 2016, matures into an affordable, family-focused community.

“There are roughly 3,790 acres of land within the city limits,” City Manager Kenneth Cassel told Invest: Palm Beach. “Since the inception to date, there are now some 500-plus homes occupied, a sales center constructed, an amenity center, a stand-alone emergency surgical center and a 400-acre solar power site within the city limits. All the respective infrastructure for the current development pods has been constructed. The city continues to develop at a rapid pace.”

Following the success of its first two neighborhoods, Minto Communities this July began the selling process for its newest neighborhood, The Groves of Westlake. The neighborhood immediately sold out its first 17 lots, and Minto Communities sold 24 homes overall throughout the first weekend on sale, the developer reported. The overwhelming interest from customers prompted Minto Communities to release an additional 19 home sites.

“We were extremely pleased with the success of our first two neighborhoods, The Hammocks, which is sold out, and The Meadows, which is over 80% sold out,” President Mike Belmont said in a press release. “With the increased demand for living in more wide open spaces, we anticipate this incredible momentum to continue with The Groves.”

Home sales in Westlake continue to beat projections as Minto Communities has sold more than 640 single-family homes since opening in October 2017, the developer reported. A census report in July 2019 showed that the city of Westlake is the fastest-growing city in Florida.

“We have a good mix of elderly couples, young families and single individuals buying property and moving to Westlake,” Cassel said. “There is an elementary, middle and high school in the city to support young families; additionally, another school site has just been conveyed to the school board for another elementary school.”

Major companies like Florida Power & Light and Wellington Medical Center are settling in the area. In 2018, Florida Power & Light announced plans to construct 400 acres of solar panels set to produce 74.5 megawatts of power, Cassel said. “The company also constructed the solar farm and a substation in the city that feeds Westlake and other nearby communities on the grid,” he said. Last year, Wellington Regional Medical Center opened a new stand-alone emergency department and last December, it acquired the adjoining 35 acres for a future medical campus.

All in all, Westlake is quickly moving past its infancy and maturing into a city to rival other great Palm Beach County municipalities. “If interest rates remain steady, we are forecasting the same growth pattern over the next several years,” Cassel said. “The developers are delivering an affordable product and people will continue to relocate to the city. The city of Westlake offers competitive living costs and a great lifestyle for current and future residents.”

What Phase 3 of reopening means for Broward County

By: Beatrice Silva

2 min read October 2020 — Gov. Ron DeSantis’ decision to move Florida into Phase 3 has led to a scramble among local government officials to make sense of which public health regulations remained in place. In the aftermath of the announcement, confusion has quickly swept across Broward County to the point where Fort Lauderdale Mayor Dean Trantalis issued a New Declaration of Emergency Regulations that clarifies the rules and regulations for businesses and individuals during this phase of economic reopening.

DeSantis announced his plans on Sept. 25, just three weeks after Broward and Miami-Dade County entered Phase 2 of reopening. Phase 3 is outlined within the Safe. Smart. Step-by-Step plan. It has minimum recommended health protocols and lifts the majority of restrictions on restaurants, bars and other businesses. Moving forward, such establishments will be allowed to operate at full capacity with limited social distancing protocols. Local governments were given the permission to limit some bars to 50% of capacity. However, the new bill prevents cities and counties from ordering them to close or penalizing them for not following the rules. “I think we need to get away from trying to penalize people for not social distancing and work with people constructively,” DeSantis said in a statement.

Fort Lauderdale’s Trantailis responded to the Phase 3 reopening plan in a letter to the public. His message highlighted the importance of opening business but under regulated guidelines. “As I have long said, we have needed to begin reopening our businesses and amenities but that we also must do so in a way that continues to protect public health. Given the broad nature of the governor’s order, I am attempting to maintain a measure of protection that an urban area like ours needs since the virus can easily spread. For the month of September, the daily infection rate in our area has remained consistently under 5 percent. We want to continue to keep it there and avoid another spike in COVID-19 infections…My new order conforms with the governor’s expansion, but still maintains our old local rules of six feet of separation between tables and between people who are standing or waiting in line. Employees must wear masks as must customers except when they are eating,” said Tranalis.

Gyms, fitness centers, state parks, public beaches and other large venues were also permitted to open at full capacity with limited social disconnecting protocols. The Safe. Smart. Step-by-Step plan is promoted to help get small businesses up and working again. During the height of the pandemic, Broward County’s unemployment rate leaped to 14.5% in March.

“The re-opening of our economy has not been easy, but it is being done right in most states. Of course, things change, but as we gather more knowledge on this virus, I believe we can combat it and not have to close our economy. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ approach of Safe. Smart. Step by Step is proving to be the right way to re-open the economy,” Alex Sanchez, president and CEO of Florida Bankers Association wrote in an opinion piece.

Just two days after Florida entered Phase 3 of reopening, Florida’s COVID-19 Data and Surveillance Dashboard reported 1,868 new cases. Some public officials are questioning if Gov. DeSantis overstepped his power while others are adamant about reopening to full capacity.

Tampa Bay is once again home to the Stanley Cup

By: Max Crampton-Thomas

2 min read October 2020 —It’s been 16 long years but the Stanley Cup has made its way back to Tampa Bay. After a six-game battle with the Dallas Stars, the Tampa Bay Lightning were able to close out the NHL finals series with a dominant 2-0 performance. And while they may have been playing to an empty arena, nothing can take away from the fact that the Lightning are now two-time Stanley Cup winners and their victory has brought some much-welcomed excitement back to the Bay.

This was a NHL season like no other, as the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a stoppage of the regular season. The decision was ultimately made to finish out the 2020 season in a “bubble” environment, not dissimilar to the one created by the NBA. All games were played in two hub cities: Edmonton and Toronto. The Lightning entered the bubble as the No. 2 team in the Eastern Conference with a solid record of 43 wins to 21 losses.

Expectations for the team weren’t just high because of their 2020 standing. The Lightning had finished the 2019 season with a historic 62 wins. Yet, despite that phenomenal regular season, a quick first-round sweep by the Columbus Blue Jackets that same year ultimately resulted in Tampa Bay’s home team playing this season with a serious chip on their shoulder. Lightning coach Jon Cooper spoke to Sportsnet about using last season’s failures as the team’s primary motivation to win it all this year.

“Sometimes in failure, you find success,” Cooper told Sportsnet. “It doesn’t come easy. People say you never know when you’re going to go back. I truly believe it was the heartbreak we suffered that brought us here today.”

This championship for the Tampa Bay Lightning was also a win for a Tampa Bay community that, like the rest of the world, has seen the year lambasted by the ongoing pandemic. In celebration of their hockey team’s Stanley Cup victory and the region’s first major sports championship in 16 years, Tampa Bay held two large celebratory events, one on water and one on land. On Wednesday Sept.30, a variety of boats floated up the Hillsborough River to Downtown Tampa carrying with them the Lightning’s roster, staff and some fans to celebrate the triumph.

This boat parade, which saw thousands of fans gather along the river’s edge to get a glimpse of their champions, was followed by a victory rally at Raymond James Stadium that was attended by an estimated 11,000 socially distanced fans.

Tampa’s Mayor Jane Castor spoke at the celebration and highlighted what the momentous achievement meant for the region as well as drawing the comparison between Tampa Bay’s resilience and the team’s as it made its way along its playoff run.

“This is an incredible day for Tampa Bay, I tell you I could not be more excited,” Mayor Castor remarked. “Now, these are difficult times for us, there’s absolutely no doubt about that, but we are used to difficult times and difficult undertakings like bringing home the Stanley Cup. And these guys define what it is to be from Tampa Bay. They showed the resilience, the determination and the grit that we have all shown as a community here and we could not be more excited to bring home the Stanley Cup for the second time.”

Her sentiment and this victory both serve as a positive moment and breath of fresh air for the Tampa Bay region in what has otherwise been a tumultuous year.

Best practices for sustainable business growth in a post-pandemic world

By: Beatrice Silva

3 min read September 2020 — Coming off a record economic year for the Philadelphia region, no one could have ever predicted the hurricane that is COVID-19. Crawling through the muddied trenches of lost revenue, businesses are having to find a way out. To promote sustainable business growth in a post-pandemic world, companies across all sectors are making tough decisions and developing innovative strategies.

In the second quarter of 2019, South Jersey’s unemployment rate was at an all-time low, according to The Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia’s quarterly South Jersey Business Survey. Just one year later, the Second Quarter 2020 Survey of Professionals reported job losses at a rate of 7,647,800 per month. In the midst of uncertainty, hundreds of businesses decided to furlough employees in an effort to manage the effects of the new coronavirus. Rather than simply laying off a staff member, furloughs allow employees to keep their employment benefits and hopes of returning to work while also helping to reduce labor costs. Keeping top talent in the company is vital to an organization’s growth.

Inspira Health, a South Jersey nonprofit healthcare organization, was one of the many health systems in the region that had to furlough employees, impacting around 200 workers, because of reduced revenues during the height of the pandemic. “As a first response to the resulting changes in staffing needs, some employees were redeployed to areas where additional staff were needed,” Inspira said in a statement. “With the expanded suspension and reduction in services over the past month, we have had to make the difficult decision to temporarily eliminate regularly scheduled work hours for some employees.”

Reducing staff is one way to save money during a flash recession. However, to survive in a post-pandemic landscape, businesses must also develop strategies that allow them to pivot when necessary and leverage competitive advantages. Heading into 2021, new business models that offer more sustainable options are expected to emerge. “In terms of embedding sustainability into long-term plans, this is best done, at least initially, by putting sustainability on every meeting agenda. If business leaders continually ask, ‘What is the environmental effect of this and is there a better option?’ then sustainability becomes institutionally embedded very quickly,” Ben Stansfield, partner of Gowling WlG, told Financier WorldWide.

COVID-19 shook the core of the economy and altered almost every aspect of life around the world. As society finds new ways to adapt so will the businesses that shape local communities. In the midst of uncertainty, the one thing that is clear is that a post-pandemic future will be fundamentally unlike anything that came before. “The post-COVID-19 world will no doubt look different in many ways – more remote work, less flying and the namaste possibly replacing the handshake forever … My hope is that there will be a great rise in employee and consumer activism and companies that continue their old ways of profit maximization at all costs, without regard for people and planet, are shamed and starved and ultimately booted out,” CB Bhattacharya, chair of sustainability and ethics at the University of Pittsburgh’s Katz Graduate School of Business, told Financier Worldwide.

During this period of evolution, sound insights and collaboration between business leaders will be pivotal across all sectors. To learn more about best practices to promote business growth in South Jersey, register now for the Invest: South Jersey 2020 Virtual Launch Conference. The conference takes place on Oct. 8 at 11:30 a.m. The virtual business conference will feature two robust panels, including, “Best practices to promote sustainable business growth in a post-pandemic landscape,” moderated by Christina Renna, president and CEO of South New Jersey’s Chamber of Commerce, and featuring insights from Albert Fox, senior vice president and executive director of Fox, Penberthy & Dehn at Morgan Stanley, Vincent D’Alessandro, southern region president of OceanFirst Bank, Robert Curley, South Jersey/Coastal market president of TD Bank and Reynold Cicalese, managing shareholder of Alloy Silverstein.

Palm Beach County’s unemployment rate back to single digits

By: Felipe Rivas

2 min read September 2020 — Recovery efforts in Palm Beach County are trending in the right direction toward Q4. Palm Beach County’s unemployment rate is back to single digits, according to newly released data. The county’s jobless rate fell from 11.5% in July to 8% in August, according to the latest monthly reports released by CareerSource Palm Beach County and the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity.

The state of Florida posted a 7.4% unemployment rate, according to the report. Both Palm Beach County and the state unemployment rate sit below the national average of 8.5%.

The county’s nonagricultural employment increased to more than 580,000 in August compared to 570,800 in July. The labor force in the county increased to more than 698,000, according to the report. The figure indicates there were more people employed, or looking for work, in August than in July. Palm Beach County’s unemployment rate sits lower than other parts of Florida, including Miami-Dade, Broward and Orange counties. These are highly touristic areas that continue to suffer from the aftermath of travel restrictions and overall pandemic-related challenges to the travel and hospitality industries.

“The unemployment rate’s return to the single digits, Phase 2 reopenings and an uptick in hiring for the tourist season suggest that recovery is gaining some traction,” said CareerSource Palm Beach County Interim President and CEO Julia Dattolo in a press release.

The county’s Phase 2 plan may have played a large role in the August unemployment decrease as businesses prepared for a post-Labor Day reopening process. The majority of Palm Beach County industries were allowed to reopen following Labor Day weekend after Gov. Ron DeSantis agreed to the easing of coronavirus-related business restrictions.The county now sits in Phase 2 of its multistep reopening plan, which allowed movie theaters, bowling alleys, playhouses and other entertainment venues to reopen.

Statewide, Florida’s labor force increased 1.4% month over month, or about 143,000 Floridians entering the workforce since July, according to the report. In comparison, Florida lost more than 1,178,000 jobs from February to April and has since gained back over half of the lost employment, the report pointed out.

“Florida’s job creators have faced significant challenges this year, forcing many of them to make difficult strategic decisions; however, August’s employment data reflects their commitment to Florida families,” said Dane Eagle, Executive Director of the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity.

Florida businesses gained 46,000 private-sector jobs over the month while the private-sector job creation on-year rate of decline of 5.8% was less than the national over-the-year decline of 7.4%, according to the report.

Florida Jobs

Florida is in the midst of an aviation renaissance

By: Beatrice Silva

2 min read September 2020 — Despite a dismal year for the aviation industry, Orlando Melbourne International Airport is experiencing a period of exponential growth. Companies such as Made in Space and Aerion Supersonic have announced plans to relocate their headquarters to central Florida, which will help bring hundreds of jobs to the region.

Aerion Supersonic plans to relocate its headquarters from Reno, Nevada, to Melbourne, Florida. The American aircraft manufacturer received a substantial investment from Space Florida that will help bring an estimated 675 jobs to the region over the next six years. Aerion Supersonic and Space Florida also have plans to build a $300-million state-of-the-art campus at Melbourne International Airport. Located on 60 acres of undeveloped property at the northwest corner of the airport, Aerion Park will boast a center for research along with facilities for manufacturing, design and production.

The AS2, a supersonic business jet, will be the first aircraft manufactured at Aerion Park. Production of this ultrafast fleet is scheduled to begin in 2023. “Our engineers call it science, but we call it time travel,” Aerion said in a tweet. “Why? At the speed of 1,000 MPH, we’re taking you from JFK to Sydney in 13 hours and 43 minutes instead of 18 hours and 6 minutes. Use those hours with your family instead.”

Florida is in the midst of an aviation renaissance. Despite an unsettling year, the industry has remained resilient. Space Florida has high hopes that the creation of Aerion Park will help captivate other aviation and aerospace corporations to the area, which will only bring more exploration and innovation to the region.

“This is a truly transformational project for Florida that changes the game for high-speed air transportation as well as for advanced aerospace manufacturing in the state,” Frank DiBello, president and CEO of Space Florida, told AINonline. “The decision to locate design, engineering, and manufacturing of this technologically advanced supersonic flight vehicle here in Florida is a testament to the growing strength and global recognition of the importance of Florida as a world-leading aerospace state.”

Aerion Supersonic isn’t the only corporation that has received investments from Space Florida to help relocate its operations to the Sunshine State. Earlier this year, Made In Space, announced its decision to move its headquarters from Mountain View California to Jacksonville. The engineering company specializes in the manufacturing of three-dimensional printers for use in microgravity.

“Relocating our headquarters to Jacksonville is a strategic step to position the company for long-term growth,” Andrew Rush, Made In Space president and CEO, said in a statement. “By expanding our presence in Florida, we can leverage a skilled aerospace workforce, large-scale infrastructure to support our growth, and key strategic partners like Space Florida that will accelerate our momentum as we continue to develop world-class space technology.”

Bucs primed for success this year in the Bay

By: Max Crampton-Thomas

2 min read September 2020 — There were points this summer where it seemed impossible to fathom how the National Football League would be able to reorganize itself to work in a pandemic landscape. Fast forward to present day and the league has been able to return in a resounding fashion, with telecasts like Week 1’s New Orleans Saints versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers attracting an average audience of 25.85 million viewers, which FOX credited as its most watched telecast since Super Bowl LIV in February 2020. And while this game may have ended in a loss for the Buccaneers, there is a lot to be excited about in Tampa Bay for this upcoming season on and off the field.

March 2020 marked a momentous moment for longtime fans of the Bucs when the announcement was made that six-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback Tom Brady would be taking his talents to Tampa Bay. Brady’s Buccaneers jersey quickly became the league’s highest selling football jersey prior to the start of the 2020 season. With Brady at the helm, it wasn’t long before multiple big name free agents fixed their sights on the Bucs franchise and were quickly added to the roster, including tight end Rob Gronkowski, linebacker Jason Pierre Paul, running back LeSean McCoy and defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh. The addition of Tom Brady and increased talent level on the overall team has ultimately resulted in financial benefits as well. The Tampa Bay franchise, which in 2018 was valued at an estimated $2 billion, is now worth an estimated $2.3 billion.

This reinvigorated roster has also reignited the fanbase for Tampa Bay’s football team who have not seen a postseason victory or success since their sole Super Bowl win in 2002. The team, which ranked 30th in fan attendance in 2019 with an average of 51,898, now faces a new challenge, but this time, it’s not due to lack of ticket sales. Although the return of football may have returned some sense of normalcy to people’s daily lives, there are still the constant reminders of the current pandemic that the world finds itself in. For football, one of those reminders is the limited capacity of fans allowed at stadiums across the league. The Bucs, who saw a surge in season tickets sales for this season, have now also had to come to terms with what these crowd restrictions will mean for the near-term future. This has resulted in the team making the decision to hold their first two home games with no fans in attendance, much to the dismay of Gov. Ron DeSantis who hoped these games would serve as an example of how Tampa Bay is prepared to host this season’s Super Bowl.

“I really want to be able to show that Tampa is going to be a great place to host the Super Bowl,” DeSantis told the Tampa Bay Times. “Showing this community is ready to host a great Super Bowl, having some fans there would’ve been a good first step. It’s not where we need to be.” The Bucs are currently looking toward a tentative reintroduction of some fans to Raymond James Stadium in their game against the Green Bay Packers on Oct. 18.

Nonetheless, residents of Tampa Bay can take comfort in knowing that the region they call home will also be home to this year’s Super Bowl. Tampa Bay has, seemingly overnight, become one of the football meccas in the nation.

Innovation and adaptation: What this could mean for education post-pandemic

By: Beatrice Silva

2 min read September 2020 — The pandemic forced educational institutions to pivot all of their operations to a completely virtual landscape. Many university leaders were planning on returning to normalcy at some point in the upcoming months, but that looks increasingly unlikely. The keys to a successful academic future are in the hands of those educators who are willing to adapt and use innovative technology to their advantage.

For the majority of universities the rapid transition into an entirely digital world came as a rude awakening. It showed just how fragile the framework of higher education could be without a contingency plan in place. Nevertheless, within days institutions like Drexel University and Rowan University worked tirelessly to develop new strategies that would not only keep them afloat but would help unify the educational community.

“Between the financial impact of COVID, the demographic changes, the situation in terms of bringing international students here, and with so many constraints on the system … institutions are really going to have to step back and begin to rethink their model because the sector is not going to be spared continued disruption going forward,” John Fry, president of Drexel University, told DrexelNOW. “More than ever, partnerships — or joint ventures, or mergers, or whatever you want to call them — are the way to go. I think the sector is going to see an almost healthcare system-like response to what’s going on. Healthcare started on its own consolidation and rethinking its model decades ago and it’s obviously still in the middle of it. I think it’s time for higher ed to go through the same types of dynamic changes. I think you’re going to see fewer institutions. I think you’re going to see more networks of institutions. I think you’ll see more hybrid, more online. Hopefully we keep face to face, but that’s just part of what we do.

As Fry mentioned, in the years to come, almost the entirety of higher education’s traditional model could be shifted, not only the logistics concerning profitability but also the student’s overall learning experience. Despite implementations caused by COVID-19, it seems as if a new institutional network was inevitable. Even before the recent pandemic, consumers have been transitioning into the digital realm. Students and parents had started craving alternative options for higher education that involve more flexibility, innovative delivery models and seamless transitions between face to face lectures and online learning.

Universities are starting to require students to download applications like the DUO, a two-factor authentication system, that helps with the onboarding process. The software works with third-party technology providers to verify a student’s identity. Biometric tools, commonly used by financial technology corporations, are also gaining popularity in this space. “New users will now be asked to take selfies before uploading them to the (UK fintech company) Curve platform alongside pictures of their driver’s license, passport or other official ID documents. FinTech will then use its partner’s biometric capabilities to compare the two images and verify potential customers’ identities,” according to PYMNTS, a B2B platform for the payments industry.

During this period of evolution, sound insights and collaboration between the public and university leaders will be pivotal for the education sector’s success. To learn more about the future of education in South Jersey, register now for the Invest:South Jersey 2020 Virtual Launch Conference. The conference takes place on Oct. 8 at 11:30 a.m. The virtual conference will feature two robust panels, including “Innovation and adaptation: What this could mean for education post-pandemic,” moderated by Marlene Asselta, president of Southern New Jersey Development Council, and featuring Frederick Keating, president of Rowan College of South Jersey, Monica Adya, president of Rutgers School of Business at Camden, and Barbara Gaba, president of Atlantic Cape Community College.
