South Florida mayor teaches region business relocation lessons

Mayors in the region take note: Miami Mayor Francis Suarez is killing it in the business relocation game.  

More than 15 companies have moved or announced moves to Miami in the last three months, in either expansions or new headquarters locations. Coming mostly from Silicon Valley and New York, and mostly for the well-known reasons — taxes, weather and a more business-friendly approach statewide to the pandemic — the list is notable. It includes new offices for Blackstone Group and Goldman Sachs. In addition, Japanese investing giant SoftBank recently committed $100 million in funds for Miami area tech companies.
