Broward to consider incentives package

An internet-travel company considers setting up its headquarters in Miramar.

An internet-travel company that already employs 153 people in Florida is considering Miramar as its location for a headquarters.

The Broward County Commission is scheduled on Tuesday to consider a package worth more than $2 million in economic incentives for the undisclosed company that would create 290 jobs at an average annual wage of $95,718, according to a commission agenda item.

The company is also considering sites in California and Illinois, according to the county’s economic development office.

Projected capital investment for the project would be $1.5 million, including the renovation of a 78,000-square-foot office in Miramar.

If approved, the state would pay $1.64 million, and the county and city each $203,000, after capital investment and required jobs are verified.

The city of Miramar is slated to considered its portion of the incentives at its meeting on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, the County Commission also will consider its portion of a $1.5 million incentives package for an undisclosed “travel-leisure company” that would create 300 jobs in Plantation.

Neither incentives package would be derailed

The bill still has several hurdles at the committee level in the House and the Senate.
