As she led by a mere nine votes in the city council race almost four years ago, Kristal Suggs had no idea she would soon help make history in the City of Kinston.

TALLAHASSEE - U.S. Space Command headquarters going to Alabama is the latest evidence of Florida’s self-inflicted wounds from cutting back on business incentives, members of the Florida Economic Development Council argued Thursday.

“These programs just tipped the scale a little bit in our direction,” Bob Swindell, president & CEO of the Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance, said during a council webinar Thursday. “I think when we talk about what we re focused on, you know, we call it the targeted industry tax rebate program because we focused on specific industries. We ve been very focused on what we want in Florida, how we want to diversify our economy here. This is not for every industry that s thinking about a relocation.”
