Affordable housing statement from Mark Wilson, Florida Chamber of Commerce President & CEO

| 1/26/2023

A statement from Mark Wilson, Florida Chamber of Commerce President & CEO regarding Florida’s affordable housing:

“Florida needs more affordable employee housing and we applaud President Passidomo for her leadership. Florida’s ability to attract and retain the talent necessary to grow from the 16th to 10th largest global economy relies on the availability of affordable and attainable housing. Senate President Kathleen Passidomo’s important legislation will help meet the needs of our growing state and ensure Florida’s workforce can continue to ‘live local’ in the communities where they work. As Florida welcomes more than 1,000 new residents each day, we look forward to working alongside her and bill sponsor Senator Alexis Calatayud towards achieving our Florida 2030 Blueprint goal of ensuring access to diverse, attainable housing to meet future demand for our state.”
