Funding for local Major League Football falls through | HeraldTribune.com

This region seems very vulnerable to invest (and offer incentives) to "pie-in-the-sky" business deals. First the infamous Sanborn Studios and now this.

From the article:

** In April 2015, Major League Football accepted a $147,000 economic incentive package from the Manatee County Commission to move to Lakewood Ranch and create 49 jobs at its corporate headquarters. **

From what I've read, they haven't yet received anything from the county so that's good. Still, it's hard to understand how they could have received even an offer of a benefit for coming here without someone first checking to see that they had more than just a promise of financing in place. Clearly, the degree of research into these companies is falling far short of what it needs to be. It makes the economic development people look like rank amateurs (again).
