弗拉堡堡垒。(2017年11月16日) -Maverick Boat Group (MBG) will build a new boat manufacturing facility in Fort Pierce, creating 100 jobs. The expansion will also invest $7 million in the local economy.
斯科特州长说:“我很自豪地宣布,马瓦里克船团将开设新的制造业设施,为圣卢西县的家庭创造了100个新工作岗位。通过努力减少繁琐的法规和削减税收,就像永久消除制造机械和设备的销售税一样,我们正在更轻松地对Maverick Boat Group这样的企业投资我们的国家。在即将到来的立法会议期间,我们将努力削减1.8亿美元的税收,以确保佛罗里达仍然是工作创造者的最佳目的地。“
Scott Deal, founder and CEO of MBG, said, “We’ve fully outgrown the capacity of existing facilities and need a lot more room for production. Our plan is to be fully operational by next summer, get in there and start building boats. In the final phase we’ll be adding a total of 277,000 square feet of new production space. It’s very important and significant that our region and leaders are facilitating and recognizing the importance of manufacturing jobs like the ones we provide. The jobs are essential, not subject to offshoring, and preserve the legacy of boat building and manufacturing that is an organic part of the community culture.”
The new facility will house larger models and free up capacity at Maverick Boat Group’s existing 9.5-acre facility in Ft. Pierce, which will increase production and expand model offerings for each of the company’s four brands. Construction of the new manufacturing facility will begin this summer, and MBG will continue manufacturing its Maverick, Cobia, Pathfinder and Hewes brands sold around the world at its current facility. The new facility will add an additional 38 acres to their headquarters.
Pete Tesch, president of the Economic Development Council of St. Lucie County, said, “The company is one of the county’s largest private employers and a driving force in our economy. Directly and indirectly, retention of existing jobs already provides $173 million in sales output and payrolls combined on an annual recurring basis. New jobs will bring an additional recurring impact amounting to nearly $42 million each year. We’re very pleased that the company continues to choose St. Lucie as home for their permanent headquarters.”
St. Lucie County Commission Chairman Chris Dzadovsky said, “We are thrilled to see St. Lucie County’s ties to the marine industry continue to thrive. Maverick’s expansion, adjacent to the Treasure Coast International Airport, will create additional jobs and show other businesses that there is plenty of room to grow here in St. Lucie County.”
