Orlando has “increased its incentive offer to attract TMRW Sports” — operator of TGL and the soon-to-launch WTGL — to “relocate its headquarters downtown.” On July 13, the Orlando City Council will consider a pair of incentive programs in an effort to get the company to relocate from its existing Winter Park HQ. Both incentives are “performance-based and would depend on the number of jobs the company creates and maintains.” If approved, TMRW Sports “would relocate to an undisclosed downtown building, bringing 70 existing jobs … while creating 125 new positions.” The company also “plans to invest more than” $11M in the “build-out of its approximately 40,000-square-foot office.” Neither TMRW Sports nor the city “has identified the building under consideration and said additional details will be released in the future.” Orlando is “competing with several other markets for the project,” including Stamford, Conn.; Charleston, S.C.; and White Plains, Manhattan and Westchester, N.Y. (ORLANDO BUSINESS JOURNAL, 7/8).
