Avid Technology Inc. (Website), a hardware and software supplier, is considering locating it’s North American headquarters to Orlando’s downtown.
Successfully seducing the company to downtown Orlando would bring 100 high-paying jobs to our City’s core. According to a report by the Orlando Sentinel, the average annual wage of an Avid employee is $81,628.
The CRA advisory committee is looking at offering $400,000 worth of incentives to Avid to have them relocate here.
Avid’s client list includes big-name companies like NBC, Fox, and Disney.
The move to attract Avid to downtown is part of Mayor Dyer’s recent strategy to put Orlando on the map as a hub for the country’s growing tech economy.
Hopefully they don’t remember how buddy dyer and our commissioners welcomed Uber to orlando.
This is great investment. Make it happen
One persons investment is another persons corporate welfare.
