Governor Jeb Bush is in Orlando to announce an expansion of Jet Blue. We've been telling you the discount carrier will train it's work force here by building "JetBlue U".
The company will spend 160 million dollars to build "JetBlue U". They'll get 4 million in incentives from the city, county and state.
Governor Bush says it's a winning approach, "You see in Florida we recognize that people, if we build the right business climate investment will occur, and jobs will occur and then local and state governments and the needs of people will be taken care of not by raising taxes but by expanding economic activity. That path, that model, is the one that leads the nation."
"JetBlue U" will bring one hundred and fifty jobs with an average salary of above 55 thousand a year.
