Governor proposes $90 million for state capital investment
Department of Economic Development Commissioner Joan Goldstein presented Governor Scott s Capital Investment Grant Proposal to the Senate Economic Development Committee this week. The proposal would allocate $90 million over three years for capital investment grants to businesses and non-profits. Regional Development Corporations and Regional Planning Commissions would identify eligible projects. Twenty-five million dollars would be dedicated to outdoor recreation projects.
Senators expressed concerns about how the Agency of Commerce and Community Development would select projects. Commissioner Goldstein said they would consider ready or near-ready proposals that will leverage other financing, with projects funded in every region. The RDC/RPC inventory of projects is a work in progress, and Commissioner Goldstein said she would provide a list to the committee when it is ready.

Its muscular body shape and large pectoral fins are perfect for long-distance travel, yet movement patterns of the whitespotted eagle ray (Aetobatus narinari) remain a mystery. Researchers from Florida Atlantic University s Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute in collaboration with Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium, the University of Florida and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, are the first to conduct a multiyear study examining large-scale movements of whitespotted eagle rays in United States waters.
