Palm Beach County is attracting Businesses

Well, we've read some negatives about folks moving out of Palm Beach County but here is some good news from CEO's who have moved their businesses here:

“Florida is a state of choice,” said Thalius Hecksher, global development chief for Apex Fund Services, who moved many of his operations to Palm Beach. “It’s organically grown. There’s no need to drag people down here. It’s a zero-income-tax jurisdiction."

"You weigh all of the benefits for being here to those in New York, and they outweigh them every time,” said Evan Rapoport, CEO of HedgeCompany.net, which is expanding its presence in Palm Beach County….In our industry, the people we’re talking about are $1 million-a-year earners. So when you’re talking about tax rates, it’s more meaningful.”
