Hialeah's Banah International Group filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy Friday Xavien Howard Dolphins Jersey , a year after it was approved for $430,000 in tax incentives, reports the New York Times -- and a year after none of the agencies
awarding such incentives apparently noticed a convicted drug dealer was running
the company, or that it was facing four lawsuits for nonpayment and had been
slapped with an IRS lien.
Instead, when Banah chairman Alexander I. Perez promised to bring almost 300 jobs to a new 300,000-square foot headquarters in
Hialeah, he got help securing both local and state incentives from the
county Laremy Tunsil Dolphins Jersey , its Beacon Council economic development group, and the state's Enterprise Florida.
The deal was heralded: a street in Hialeah was renamed Banah Sweet Way with Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez,
Commissioner Rebeca Sosa, and Hialeah Mayor Carlos Hernandez present. Then-U.S.
Rep. David Rivera even gave Perez a congressional certificate for "outstanding
and invaluable service to the community," reports Miami New Times, the duo
posing in Washington, D.C. with Congresswoman Illeana Ros-Lehitinen and
Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart.
But on Friday Jordan Phillips Jersey , Banah reported in Chapter 11 filings that it owes between $1,000,000 and $10,000,000 to 232 people and companies, according to the
Miami Herald, and has just 15 employees. A promised job fair was never
held.
Though officials told the Times that Banah hadn't yet received any of the tax breaks Jason Jones Jersey , the misstep is the latest vetting embarrassment for Enterprise Florida, the public-private economic development arm of the state
that Governor Rick Scott expects to help him deliver on his campaign promises of
job creation. Scott has asked for roughly $300 million in incentives, an
increase from the previous budget of $110 million, just as the group faced
withering questions from lawmakers about whether or not it can justify its own
existence. A report this month by Integrity Florida revealed that Enterprise
Florida has doled out roughly $1.7 billion since its creation in 1995, but has
delivered just 103,544 jobs -- only half of its target, and eight years
late.
Author Resource:- After the well-publicized bankruptcy of Digital Domain Anthony Steen Jersey , a Port St. Lucie animation company that received a whopping $20 million in incentives from the state, Enterprise Florida promised a
better vetting process. But when Perez failed to disclose his four-year stint in
federal prison or the ensuing probation that ended in 2009, no one at the county
or state level apparently checked into Perez or his company enough to notice.
