Central Florida Players - Dec. 2007

Florida announced record tourism numbers for the first quarter of 2024, as totals for international visitors continue to move closer to pre-pandemic levels.

A Danish drone technology firm has opened a U.S. headquarters in St. Petersburg. The move comes as the defense company wants to be closer to its customers and partnerships.

The sites will have a combined available output of 200 megawatts that could provide power for more than 37,000 households.

Central Florida has been deluged with calls from people considering suicide or facing other mental health crises in recent months, prompting social services leaders to sound the alarm.

South Florida has the highest inflation rate when compared to 13 of the largest U.S. metro areas. The Consumer Price Index for the region rose 4.5% during the 12-month period ending in April.
