Governor Scott In Miami Tuesday To Introduce Small Business Policies
TALLAHASSEE (CBSMiami/AP) – Governor Rick Scott will be in Miami Tuesday to start a two-week tour of introducing new policies focused on small businesses and entrepreneurs.
Scott will tour Florida to highlight his proposals to reduce corporate filing fees for small businesses and increasing funding for export marketing programs.
Scott will also announce a $10 million "Risk Taker Award" that he says will reward entrepreneurs and small businesses for developing solutions to specific issues with private capital. Scott also proposes establishing annual business competitions hosted by Florida's colleges and universities that would award winners up to $100,000.
In a statement Monday from his re-election campaign, Scott called small businesses "the lifeblood of our economy."
