It requires coordination and consistency of policies, as well as supporting infrastructure and resources. To enhance the opportunities for successful implementation, it also takes relevant and accurate information regarding the economic marketplace and the possible obstacles that might constrain or redirect the most practical options and pathways. In a globally competitive world where technological changes can sweep swiftly like waves across the sea, one locale must focus intently all of its resources on the target and move quickly. At the same time, foundations must be laid to provide the infrastructure and support systems that might not be fully capitalized for a decade, or more. In this evolving and highly charged environment, reflecting the character of a well built community already near maturation, the SeminoleWay initiative was conceived by a visionary partnership of business and governmental leaders -The Seminole County Regional Chamber of Commerce. The Mission: to create a strategic land use and economic development plan focused on attracting high value/high wage jobs and businesses to the county along the State Road 417 Corridor and across I-4 to the Port of Sanford. For the past twenty years, Seminole County has pioneered and wrestled with the challenges of maintaining a strong comprehensive plan that encourages positive economic growth for the future beyond only dependency on ad valorem tax-supported growth. The SeminoleWay initiative will continue this forvvard thinking and create an positive environment and effective strategies for bringing business and government together in pursuit of a strong, stable, and relevant economic future of investment, livable incomes, and high quality employment. In the following pages, this Executive Summary explores issues addressed more fully in the Industry and Facilities Analysis report: 1. goals and visions for economic development in the SeminoleWay corridor; 2. local resources for economic development; 3. important and relevant historical economic trends in Seminole County and the central Florida region; 4. economics futures for the county; and 5. land use trends and policies that will be important to attracting high value/high wage jobs and businesses to the county. All five of these subject areas must be incorporated into a coordinated and effective strategy for identifying how the SeminoleWay dream may come true. REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GLATTING JACKSON KERCHER ANGLIN SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Executive Summary Study Area Context Seminole County has identified a study corridor generally consistent with the alignment of SR 417, extending north from Orange County to Interstate 4. Along this corridor there are seven interchanges providing varying access to approximately 3,700 acres of undeveloped property distributed among owners of more than 4,000 vacant or seriously underutilized parcels. The county has indicated a preference to position this corridor to support targeted industries which might complement or expand the base of high technology, higherwage employment already established in the North I-4/Lake Mary HIP area and proximate to UCF in Orange County. Preliminary assessment of the opportunity has suggested that only a limited number of the undeveloped acres (25% or less) are in large assemblages and only a small part of the larger parcels are adequately served by SR 417. The restricted access may be further constrained by the toll structure on SR 417 and the absence of supporting alternate roads paralleling the expressway. Practically, this analysis accepts the limitations imposed by the physical configuration of the existing road system and evaluates alternatives generally matched to the known or anticipated capacity. A later phase of this planning initiative might identify prospective economic development opportunities and suggest strategies to enhance the infrastructure perceived necessary to secure these opportunities. The preferred approach is to pursue the former option, considering the latter only if the initial assessment points to obviously unexploited target segments of exceptional high value. Figure 1 provides an illustration of the SeminoleWay study corridor. A set of figures relevant to this executive summary can be found at the end of the document.

The accompanying Industry and Facilities Analysis report and its appendices provide a more expansive presentation of the study's key findings. The Vision for SeminoleWay What Seminole County community and government leaders want are high value investments and high wage jobs in target industries sectors that will provide economic stability and growth for the next twenty years, or more. For many in local leadership roles, the vision is embodied not in the next successful office development or the next industrial park, which are easily predicted and clearly envisioned. Rather, they are wrestling with defining what will be relevant and needed in the county and the region when the next generation of leadership is in control and making decisions about what is best for its community. For many, it is necessary to understand what is emerging or only anticipated at this time. The analysis summarized in this report brings emerging economic trends and industry clusters into focus and evaluates their suitability for the SeminoleWay corridor. The "Vision" held by community stakeholders includes many specific goals and objectives. Based on the results of this analysis to date, "Success" would be defined as: 1. A vision or plan based on realistic economic opportunities for the Corridor, blending public resources, private business interests and education; 2. Attraction of businesses that add to the County's quality of life through stable investment, high-wage employment, environmentally friendly development, and support for existing economic base; 3. Expansion of the County's non-residential ad valorem tax base and other revenue sources; 4. Provision of appropriate land use controls and comprehensive plan policies throughout the Corridor to allow desirable "high value/high wage" (and maybe "high tech") businesses to find a place in the county; 5. Land owners understanding the vision of SeminoleWay and "buying in;" 6. Certainty that infrastructure resources, policies, and incentives are aligned at county and municipal levels to enhance the chances of achieving the economic development vision. Economic Futures Analysis Seminole County already possesses a significant amount of strategic economic development resources that can be readily applied to facilitate economic development within the SeminoleWay Corridor. The foundation for land use policy incentives has previously been laid with the existing HIP-TI targeted future industries land use category. Many of the policies and practices associate with HIP-TI could function to attract REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GLATTING JACKSON KERCHER ANGLIN 4 SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Executive Summary identified SeminoleWay economic clusters. Existing financial incentive programs, such as the Jobs Growth Initiative Fund, the Qualified Target Industry Tax Refund program, and the Florida High Tech Corridor Council matching grants, will be or should be made available to targeted industries within SeminoleWay. The SeminoleWay initiative should continue to build upon and enhance the existing partnership with the University of Central Florida's Business Incubation program. Building upon the existing economic and industrial conditions in Seminole County and the greater Orlando MSA, the RERC team has identified four specific economic clusters with the greatest potential of fulfilling the SeminoleWay Corridor vision and fostering real long term economic growth in sustainable high wage, high impact industries. They are: 1. Financial services and information services 2. Digital media including modeling and simulation, film and broadcasting, themed entertainment and animation/game development 3. Life sciences including biotech and medical instrumentation 4. Technical and research services including civil and environmental engineering and so-called "green" architectural and engineering services These four clusters represent the most feasible and attractive future of the SeminoleWay Corridor given the context and identified constraints. Policy decisions concerning each cluster should be evaluated and tailored to exploit the resources identified within this report. Any limitations of or barriers to the successful cultivation of the SeminoleWay targeted industry clusters are likely to be spatially specific in nature. From a global perspective, the SeminoleWay Corridor is already well suited to attract and sustain each of the identified clusters without significant hindrance from transportation infrastructure, environmental constraints, suitable housing, educational resources, or land use and comprehensive planning policies. Land Use Analysis Accounting for environmental constraints and major accessibility issues, the State Road 417 Corridor between I-4 and the Orange County line contains about 3,300 acres of land that could be considered suitable for economic development efforts of the SeminoleWay vision. Of these ripe lands, the majority of acreage can be classified as underutilized rather than vacant. Approximately 500 acres within the two mile corridor and nearly 900 acres located within the Sanford Orlando Airport and HIP areas are functionally vacant. These constraints suggest that targeted industries and development within the corridor will necessarily be focused toward smaller individual developments and businesses that may not require a large tightly clustered campus and the associated large tracts of raw undeveloped land. To serve the most obvious target industries and businesses, large- scale land assemblage is probably not necessary. The suitable land within SeminoleWay is, however, clustered around readily accessible SR 417 interchanges. SR 417 itself provides ready and efficient access to both interstate 4, Sanford Orlando Intemational Airport and Orlando Intemational Airport. The future land use policies of Seminole County and the SeminoleWay partner municipalities REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GLATTING JACKSON KERCHER ANGLIN 5 SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Executive Summary currently governing the available lands around the SR 417 interchanges support the SeminoleWay vision and may require only minor adjustment on a spatially specific basis to fully accommodate the specific SeminoleWay targeted industries. While it appears unlikely that a major "ship of gold" opportunity will be drawn to SeminoleWay's limited harbors, there will be many, many opportunities to draw high value cargo to the county's scattered ports and business centers via tenders, shuttles, and barges that connect the county's resources with motherships of targeted industry clusters of tomorrow. Historical Perspectives Past Development Trends -Seminole County Over the last 25 years, Seminole County has experienced, through careful planning and influenced by various market forces, several shifts in the sizing and geographic clustering of specific development, including office, industrial, and multi-family residential uses. Understanding recent trends in land use changes in addition to the existing land use picture of Seminole County more clearly highlights the path from where Seminole County has been to where Seminole County desires to go. Non population based employment generation has typically been spurred by office and industrial uses. While other commercial uses, such as retail, generally exist to serve the needs of existing population, these core uses have long existing as fountains of employment attracting con-esponding workforces. In addition, noting the geographical distribution of multi-family housing can function as an additional indicator of major geographical employment centers. The economic analysis focuses on the past development trends of the office, industrial, and multifamily residential uses and highlights the existing geographic clustering of those same uses. The most notable highlights from the trends analysis follow. In support of recent population growth and corresponding increases in employment, approximately 26 percent of all Retail and Office square footage in Seminole County has been constructed and added to the tax roll in the last 7 years. Furthermore, more than 55 percent of all existing Office and Retail development has been constructed since 1990. The relatively high proportion of newer Retail and Office development indicate that the vast majority of these uses are functionally adequate to serve the needs of the existing and future targeted industries within Seminole County. This is further evidenced by the fact that less than 17 percent of existing Retail space and only 13 percent of existing office space was constructed prior to 1980. • While opportunities for Office and Retail redevelopment certainly exist, in total, Seminole County is likely well positioned to meet the needs of existing industries in both the present and the near future. REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GIATTING JACKSON KERCHER ANGLIN 6 SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Executive Summary On average, the functional age of Industrial development has exceeded that of other non residential uses. Correspondingly, approximately 17 percent of existing Industrial square footage and parcels were constructed between 2000 and 2007. This older age is not necessarily indicative of a deficit in newer and suitable Industrial space, as Industrial development typically exhibits more facile reuse properties and is not as tightly tethered to population growth. The relatively older age of Industrial development in Seminole County may however indicate a decrease in Industrial land demand as the county transitions to other industries and employment generators. The complete detailed historical and development trends analysis can be found in the SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis main document. Economic Development Resources In order to craft the SeminoleWay vision and best identify the appropriate targeted industry clusters and ascertain their feasibility and suitability for SeminoleWay, an accurate inventory of the most relevant economic development resources within Seminole County and the greater Orlando region was compiled by RERC. Before a forward thinking approach can be fostered and policy, resource, and infrastructure gaps can be remedied, it is necessary to understand the current economic development resource inventory and its adequacy to support SeminoleWay target industries. These economic development resources take the shape of existing infrastructure, regulatory and incentive policies, financial resources, and educational support. Many of the resources are offered by the economic development councils of Seminole County and her municipalities, as well as Metro Orlando EDC, higher education systems, and industry partnerships. Each tool is described more fully in the full report.

A Futures Analysis will arm policy makers with a detailed picture of the current economic landscape as well as begin to identify the appropriate paths leaders must embark on to achieve the desired realistic economic and industry outcomes that are feasible for the SeminoleWay corridor. A futures analysis aims to quantify the economic potential for the SeminoleWay corridor by accomplishing the following tasks: 1. Examining future industry formations to identify, rank, and measure potential opportunities based on emerging sectors and clusters. 2. Identifying existing or future industries in the region and corridor which have the greatest local competitive advantage. 3. Benchmarking clusters to measure how competitive a region is relative to other similar regions or to the nation as a whole. 4. Indicating relative levels of supportable activity within the general study area. Within that context, RERC worked with Innovation Insight, Inc. of Wesley Chapel, Florida to conduct a Futures Analysis for the SeminoleWay Corridor, Seminole County, and the greater Orlando Metro Area. Towards that effort, Innovation Insight completed a detailed economic cluster analysis, conducted a multitude of interviews with industry leaders and stakeholders within identified and targeted clusters, and detailed the relevant infrastructure needs of targeted SeminoleWay economic clusters. General findings from that work effort follows. Economic Cluster Analysis • Economic cluster analysis was popularized by Dr. Michael Porter of Harvard in the 80s. It became very popular for its focus on competitiveness factors that included innovation, economies of scale, knowledge production, networks, and relationships in addition to traditional factor (cost) considerations of traditional economic geography. While cluster analysis has become the most popular paradigm utilized by professional economic developers, the process of intentional creation and incubation of regional economic clusters is still pooriy understood and documented. REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GLATTING JACKSON KERCHERANGLIN 8 SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Executive Summary The effective geographic scale for cluster analysis is between national and MSA levels. County and zip code-level geographic boundaries rarely can contain a sufficiently comprehensive mix of supporting factors and industries to constitute a true cluster. For that reason, county- and sub-county-level analysis is best performed in context of the industrial makeup of the larger metropolitan area. Research Framework The objective of this research is to empirically identify the best probable focus for economic cluster development activity regarding the "SeminoleWay" region. The best research framework will be one that comprehensively looks at both quantitative (economic) data and qualitative (expert) feedback to rank and select cluster candidates. Given that the SeminoleWay region is too small for cluster analysis independent of the larger county and MSA, we believe that the best cluster candidates for the Seminole Way region should be selected from the intersection of: • Competitive existing or emerging industry clusters at the MSA level, in which Seminole County has a competitive foundation. A competitive level of supporting industries that are at the intersection of multiple MSA-level industry clusters. An existing minimal basis of industries within the 4-zipcode area of the Seminole Way relevant to MSA-level industry clusters. Competitive MSA Clusters In 2006, Innovation Insight conducted a comprehensive, empirical analysis of the Metro Orlando region's most competitive economic clusters for the Metro Orlando EDC. The study looked at occupational activity, federal procurement and grant award activity, patent and intellectual property activity, and industry salary, productivity, and specialization data. The study looked at recent historical trends and forecasted five years into the future. The SeminoleWay cluster analysis takes advantage of this very comprehensive body of regional data, and through comparison with more recent data confirms that the 2006 study's findings are still relevant. The most competitive clusters overall were identified as the following: • Information services • Precision instruments (closely tied to "photonics and lasers") • Basic health services • Business /professional services • Computer and electronic equipment (the fastest growing cluster overall) REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GLATTING JACKSON KERCHER ANGLIN 9 SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Executive Summary • Higher education & hospitals • Aerospace • Hotel and transportation services The following clusters were considered "emerging" -while not specialized in terms of significant employment, they were found growing and attractive due to other features such as salaries, productivity, and procurement activity. • Arts and. media (tied to "film and entertainment" as well as "digital media") • Construction machinery and distribution equipment • Nondurable industry machinery • Financial services and insurance (one of the highest paying clusters) • Nonresidential building products Metro Orlando Industry Clusters Employment Relative to the United States 105% ~. ~ ~~~- Yvcs 6 iniUfYf1C~ kldtMtry mathm0ry f i ~ :, ~ i i 85% - t _ j ~ ... . _ . _ ~ ~ f F i N...~ f y' f 4 ~ i 8076 °L ~ - ~ . , _~., ....¢, . . _... t.P.trd41bn1natrytntMt '...... .; ' .Compc}ler 8 elagronla egPC ~ ;' ~~ ~ ~~ ~, l } ~ i ;; ~ ~ 8096 ~ ~ - - ~ -- _ _ _ _ - 0% 20% 40% BO% BO% 10096 120% 140% 180% 18096 20Q% 220% 2004 Locallon Gu01i~M t$p•Ciallzatlon) Size M Oubble4 indicet~ r4Miw rsimbar of ioW. ~vu REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GLATTING JACKSON KERCHER ANGLIN ~ ~ SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Executive Summary Metro Orlando MSA versus Seminole County: Cluster Specializatbn and Employment 3 „n r 8 Nactronie equipment 1 6 Praps+on Irisiruma,nt 8 . ~Igh Tech IMormelion Sr t.4 - - Technical 8 Research Serves 1 2 I f , _ Aw.-,.-.~ --~-..~-~- ~~-®.~--_.

Essentially, the farther to the top right (green quadrant) a cluster is, the more competitive it is both in the County and the region. The MSA-level cluster data was compared with the most recent available industry data at the county and local level. The best foundation for economic development activity in the Seminole Way area must reflect an intersection of regional, county, and local cluster industry advantages. The following chart compares the overlap of: • The most competitive regional-level clusters (bottom left circle) • The clusters in which Seminole County has a disproportionate share of the region's employment (top circle) • Clusters in which Seminole County has a significant basis of industries that are supporting industries to the region's top clusters (bottom right circle).

The interviews and background research extended these goals to identify the feasibility of promoting core clusters as a long-term economic development strategy that complements, but does not compete with, other regional efforts in these clusters. Four "core" clusters were identified that met these criteria: • Financial services and information services • Digital media including modeling and simulation, film and broadcasting, themed entertainment and animation/game development • Life sciences including biotech and medical instrumentation • Technical and research services including civil and environmental engineering and to a large extent architectural and engineering services Based upon the research, we further refine the recommended strategies for the core clusters as follows: Green biotech: the intersection of plant-based biotech and biofuels research and production. For the life sciences cluster, focus on the availability of a wet lab facility for small businesses, providing cluster-specific ongoing training and seminar resources, identify and foster intermediary manufacturing solutions for enzymes, pharmaceuticals, and other biologicals to encourage local growth and retention, build shell facilities to support build-in biotech/life sciences companies, and develop a zoning and construction plan for additional greenhouses and dedicated agricultural property to support plant- based research and development, research trials, and contract and intermediary manufacturing of biologicals. Develop a cellulosic enzyme production strategy to support Florida's growing ethanol biofuels industry in partnership with UCF researchers and major blended fuels consumers such as FPL Energy. Green Buildings: a starting point for the region's technical, civil, environmental and related engineering services industry, which constitutes much of the technical and research services cluster. This is a desirable cluster in terms of wages and growth, but its growth is largely driven by local development activity. Given Governor Christ's endorsement of Green Building concepts and the relative lack of LEED-certified engineers in Florida, a consortia-based approach to reducing the costs for local firms to certify their engineers can help to reduce import of LEED-certified engineering services and increase the ability of local firms to compete for projects both inside and outside of Florida. • The financial services /information services cluster will benefit from continued support of the Heathrow /Lake Mary region. However, for purposes of the Seminole Way corridor, an increased focus on smaller companies (10-40 employees), an extension of efforts Eastward along Lake Mary Boulevard, and along-term plan to map, improve, and promote quality REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GLATTING JACKSON KERCHER ANGLIN 13 SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Executive Summary broadband /wireless telecom, power, and transportation infrastructure in that area will help to increase the attractiveness and competitiveness of that area for financial and information services companies. The digital media media cluster has tremendous potential for the region. A strong incubation and small business support strategy will most complement Orlando's developing Creative Village concept and the Florida Interactive Entertainment Academy (FIFA), particularly as there is evidence that much of the industry is characterized by freelancers and home-based service providers. The strategy for this cluster should support the recent Digital Media Banner Center awarded to Seminole Community College, and extending its services and benefits to other SCC campuses. This cluster will also benefit from services and resources to help freelancers and small businesses convert and stay abreast of the latest digital /high definition tools and standards. This cluster may also benefit the most from the availability of an incubator or other shared facilities supporting very high internet broadband capabilities and perhaps shared computational/rendering farms and audio/visual studios. • The Orlando-Seminole International Airport is potentially a tremendous asset to the Seminole Way region. However, its potential will remain largely unfulfilled from an economic development standpoint unless its portfolio of national and international direct flights can be significantly increased. Its value for the core clusters includes: • Access to clients and markets and other business units by the financial services sector. However, most travel in this cluster is probably focused through the Orlando International Airport. • Flexible building shells for the life sciences /biotech cluster. • Hobby /executive pilot resource for all clusters. Business /office park property near the airport will be attractive to corporate CEOs, founders and entrepreneurs with active piloting interests. • Available undeveloped property Each of the "core" industry clusters discussed (life sciences, digital media, financial services /information services, and technical /research services) identified broadband internet connectivity as a competitiveness factor. For life sciences and technical /research services, this is probably mostly a matter of preference that will be addressed by market forces (they will pay for what the level of connectivity they need). However, for financial /information services and especially digital media, broadband connectivity can be a "make or break" competitiveness issue in the next ten years. Financial services products and transaction processing are increasingly reliant upon internet connectivity, and trends within this industry are toward globalization of business processes (geographic distribution of business units) that require spotless and continual broadband connectivity. Perhaps most important (anecdotally) is the perception of overall consistency and quality of all telecommunications services available to this industry versus ubiquitous broadband availability. REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GLATTING JACKSON KERCHER ANGLIN 14 SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Executive Summary Digital media companies will have the greatest, and fastest growing needs for connectivity in order to communicate with clients, deliver large, dense media content, to stream audio and video, and even for remote processing and computing tasks. Increasing the broadband connectivity for a building can vary tremendously by location and service provider, resulting in 3-10x increase in costs for both infrastructure (cable and fiber) as well as monthly service. In consideration of these costs and the fact that much of this cluster consists of small companies and freelancers, the best strategy may be to: Create a county "broadband map", including which buildings already are wired to 1000baseT ethernet, the location of fiber trunks (connecting a building to a trunk across the street or further can cost an additional $60,000 or more), and which buildings already have OC-3 or greater connections. Build up a few "islands" of broadband, including a business incubator and possibly a few other multi-tenant office buildings as supported by demand with OC-3 or greater connections. These buildings may require inexpensive cellular repeaters to further support ubiquitous connectivity. It should be noted that 802.11# wireless "hotspot" availability was not identified as a significant issue for any of the interviewed clusters. Land Use Analysis Figures and Tables The figures and tables referred to within the Land Use analysis section can be found in the full SeminoleWay Industry Analysis report. For ease of use, figures 1, 2 and 6 can be found immediately following this executive summary. Study Corridor and Methodology The Seminole Way study corridor generally runs one mile along either side of the SR 417 from the county boundary on the south to Interstate 4 on the north (See Figure 1). The section of Interstate 4 between the south side of Lake Monroe and CR 46A is also included within the study corridor. The corridor goes through the cities of Sanford, Winter Springs, and Oviedo and Seminole County. In terms of evaluating development opportunities, the analysis looked into properties that can be reached within a 1-mile drive of interchanges along the study corridor through the existing roadway network. Additional areas of potential development opportunities were considered in the areas north of SR 46 and east of Interstate 4, and along the Lake Mary Boulevard Extension. Composite Future Land Use Map The Seminole Way Corridor includes a variety of future land use designations. Within one-mile of the corridor, the majority of land is designated for commercial and office uses, mixed-use and planned development (PD), and residential land uses. REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GLATTING JACKSON KERCHER ANGLIN 15 SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Executive Summary On the north and south sides of the Lake Jesup shore, SR 417 is flanked by properties that are designated recreation, conservation, or conservation overlay land uses. On the north side of Lake Jesup, and within the City of Sanford, a substantial portion of the corridor is lined on both sides by properties under the suburban estates designation. Office, commercial, PD/mixed-use, and higher intensity PD designations are generally located around interchanges between SR 417 and major arterial roadways, near the Sanford Intemational Airport, and near the Interstate 4 interchanges. Figure 2 is a generalized future land use map comprised of future land uses from the partner jurisdictions. Transportation Network Figure 3 is a map of the Seminole Way Corridor and the system of street network that connect to it. SR 417 provides regional mobility benefits to Seminole County and the rest of Central Florida as an alternative north-south corridor to Interstate 4 and US 17-92. However, more importantly, it provides tremendous highway accessibility benefits to the county's residents, as it connects key activity centers such as the Lake Mary business parks on its northern terminus, the Sanford Intemational Airport around its midpoint, and the University of Central Florida area on its southern end. Highway access points have traditionally been the first areas to develop and redevelop along a limited access highway. In terms of the Seminole Way Corridor, these access points are provided around ten interchanges on the SR 417 and Interstate 4. Interchanges are located at an interval of 1 to 2.5 miles, except where SR 417 crosses Lake Jesup. The network of state and county roadways that link to Seminole Way are important corridors that will facilitate and serve future growth. These roadways include: US 17-92, Orange Boulevard, SR 46, CR 46A, Lake Mary Boulevard, Airport Boulevard, CR 427, and Lake Mary Boulevard Extension in the City of Sanford. In the Cities of Winter Springs and Oviedo, SR 434 and Red Bug Lake Road are important roadways that provide direct access to SR 417 and connect these cities to the rest of the county. Lastly, Aloma Avenue (SR 426) is the County's southern gateway for residents and visitors using SR 417. Environmental Constraints Future development and redevelopment efforts along the Seminole Way Corridor will need to consider the environmental conditions along the Corridor. Figure 4 illustrates the wetlands, designated environmental protection areas, and conservation overlays designated by the different jurisdictions' Future Land Use maps. The city of Winter Springs and Seminole County both have a conservation overlay FLU designation that calls for additional review and analysis prior to development. Both jurisdictions' comprehensive plans suggest that the conservation overlay designation is not intended to prevent development, but rather is used to identify sensitive areas that need further review to determine the extent of allowable development and the needed mitigation. If the conservation overlay area is determined developable and all mitigation requirements have been met, the underlying land use on the FLU map will apply. REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GLATTING JACKSON KERCHER ANGLIN 16 SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Executive Summary The majority of the properties around Lake Jesup and Lake Monroe are wetland areas and has been designated as conservation overlay areas. Smaller wetland areas are scattered throughout the corridor and sporadically along the Seminole Way Corridor. Development Opportunltles A detailed parcel-level analysis using GIS software was conducted to determine the extent and location of development opportunities along the study corridor. Properties that can be reached within aone-mile driving distance from interchanges using existing roadways would benefit most from the corridor's visibility and access are therefore considered key development parcels. The following criteria were used to further define the actual development opportunity among the one-mile network parcels: 1. Properties have to be one acre or larger. 2. Properties have to be either totally vacant or underutilized. Vacant properties are identified based on county-provided GIS data. Underutilized parcels are those parcels that have improved values of less than 40% of total property values (land plus improvement values) based on data from the County's property tax appraiser. In addition to analyzing properties that are within aone-mile network distance of interchanges, two additional development opportunity areas were identified. The first area includes properties that are generally within the comprehensive plan-designated Sanford I-4 High Intensity PD area and the County's Higher Intensity PD area. For the purposes of this analysis, this potential development area is called the "SR 46 HIP Area" and includes the properties bounded by Interstate 4 on the west side, the CSX rail line on the north side and SR 46 on the south side. This subset is further screened by the same two criteria used for the one-mile network development opportunity around interchanges (see previous paragraph) and excludes properties that are already previously identified in the first subset. The second potential development area is made up of properties that are within a mile of the Lake Mary Boulevard Extension. This area is considered a potential growth area because of its proximity to the airport and the access benefits provided by the Boulevard. As with the "SR 46 HIP Area", the development opportunity is made up of parcels that are one acre or larger and vacant or underutilized. Figure 5 illustrates potential development opportunities, made up by vacant and underutilized properties, along the Seminole Way Corridor. Figure 6 shows the development opportunity areas grouped by interchange areas and growth areas. The development opportunity around the interchanges (not including the SR 46 HIP Area or the Lake Mary Blvd. Ext. Area) total more than 3,600 acres in land area. Of this, more than 60% are underutilized properties and less than 40% are vacant properties, in terms of land area. Close to 70% of the properties are between 1 acre and 5 acres, and around two thirds of these are underutilized properties. Among the different interchange areas, the cluster around Rinehart Road/SR 46 and around REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GLATTING JACKSON KERCHER ANGLIN 17 SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Executive Summary US 17-92 offer the largest land area of development possibilities with close to 1,000 acres of vacant or underutilized properties. If the additional growth areas (SR 46 HIP Area and the Lake Mary Boulevard Extension Area) are considered, there is an opportunity to develop or redevelop up to 8,000 acres of properties corridor-wide, doubling the total development opportunity existing around interchanges. The bulk of the development opportunity is concentrated near the airport along Lake Mary Boulevard Extension. Of the total development opportunity, two-thirds are properties that are considered underutilized and a third, or around 3,500 acres, are currently vacant. Of the total 1,100 paroels that make up the total development opportunity, almost 60% are between 1 and 5 acres in size. The rest are properties that are larger than 5 acres and make up almost 80% of the total land area of potential development. The results also show that more significant development opportunities exist around interchanges and key anchor areas (the Sanford International Airport and the Lake Mary office parks) north of Lake Jesup than on the comdor's southern segment. When combined with the additional growth areas, the northern segment accounts for more than 80% of the development opportunity in the entire corridor. This first series of analysis does not take into consideration any environmental considerations and includes properties in all FLU designations. Future Land Use Designations of Development Opportunity Areas Figure 7 in the full report shows the potential development opportunity areas and their future land use designations. The map shows that a majority of the large parcels identified in development opportunity areas are under a mixed use or planned development (PD) designation. Clusters of smaller parcels are located in areas designated commercial and office use. Along the northern shore of Lake Jesup and near the airport, some parcels considered redevelopable are under the suburban estates FLU designation. Land Use Conclusions The Seminole Way Corridor has significant opportunities for development and redevelopment. An estimated 8,000 acres of properties are ripe for development and redevelopment along the Seminole Way Corridor, around the SR 46 HIP area, and along the Lake Mary Boulevard Extension. These properties are made up of parcels which are currently vacant or underutilized and are larger than one acre in size. Along the SR 417 corridor itself, and immediately around interchanges, around 3,600 acres of properties are considered ready for development/redevelopment. REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GLATTING JACKSON KERCHER ANGLIN 18 SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Executive Summary • The Development Opportunities are concentrated around key interchanges and anchor uses north of Lake Jesup. The higher concentration of interchanges along the Corridor north of Lake Jesup allows for more parcels to be targeted as potential development opportunities. Additionally, the presence of the Sanford International Airport and the concentration of professional business parks in Lake Mary further strengthen the possibility for development activity in the SR 46 HIP Area and along Lake Mary Boulevard Extension. More modest development opportunities with smaller parcels of underutilized and vacant properties can be found south of Lake Jesup. • The environmental considerations could substantially impact the potential development opportunities along the Corridor. When screened for potential environmental constraints, the total acreage of developable and redevelopable properties was reduced to 3,300 acres, less than half of the original potential development opportunity subset. Although this is a relatively conservative approach to determining development potential, the study team feels that without a detailed analysis of the nature and extent of the environmental constraints, this figure more accurately quantifies the early phase opportunities for the Seminole Way Corridor development. A next-step study can be undertaken to more clearly understand the limitations that are brought by the environmental conditions, especially those around Lake Jesup. • Existing future land use policies of the County and the partner municipalities are supportive of the Seminole Way Corridor future goals. Comprehensive plan policies and future land use maps from all the partner jurisdictions generally support and allow the types, patterns, and densities of development of the industries targeted for the Seminole Way Corridor. All the jurisdictions call for some form of mixed-use development, planned development, or commercial and office uses around the corridor's interchanges. Around the airport and near the SR 46 HIP area, the County and the City of Sanford also have policies encouraging mixed-uses, light industrial uses and planned unit developments. As a next step, the County and the partner municipalities can incorporate stronger policies specific to Seminole Way and its implementation as part of their comprehensive plan updates and other policy changes. The goals of the Seminole Way Corridor should also be included in vision plans that are developed for areas along the corridor to reinforce the vision and provide guidance to the private development community. Lastly, a concerted strategic planning effort involving various jurisdictions can be conducted to more clearly understand and cany out the necessary regulatory changes to implement the goals for Seminole Way. • The majority of the parcels that are considered ripe for development are underutilized properties and not vacant properties. Because of this, additional incentives may be necessary to encourage redevelopment. REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GLATTING JACKSON KERCHER ANGLIN 19 SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Executive Summary Jurisdictions can explore various incentive strategies to promote the properties' redevelopment to high-technology and high growth industries. These incentives may include assistance for providing infrastructure (i.e. new roadway connections), streamlined permitting processes, and interlocal agreements between partner jurisdictions to assist property owners that abut or straddle jurisdiction boundaries. • A strong partnersh/p and coordination between jurisdictions is necessary. This feasibility study is a great start for the various jurisdictions to come together and define the future vision for Seminole Way. As the program continues and changes in the regulatory framework are made, an even stronger partnership and coordination is necessary among the different jurisdictions to ensure the Corridor's success. Next Steps RERC recommended next steps include: • Completion and further interpretation of spatially specific land use, traffic and supporting infrastructure analysis at the SR 417 interchange and parcel specific level. • Identification of secondary requirements for housing, retail or other support facilities consistent with the demands of development expected within the targeted industries. • Further description of the competitive environment for the SeminoleWay targeted industries. • Review of existing economic development SeminoleWay marketing plans and evaluation of alternatives for long term SeminoleWay marketing initiatives. • Evaluation of existing economic development and incentive policies and proposed modifications as they relate to the SeminoleWay targeted industries at specifically identified locations. • Identification of key persons responsible for marketing initiatives and formulation of SeminoleWay progress benchmarks.

Figure 2 is a generalized future land use map comprised of future land uses from the partner jurisdictions. Future Land Use Policies This section of the memo describes the various policies in each jurisdiction related to future land uses along the Seminole Way Corridor. A review of comprehensive plans from the various jurisdiction, reveals that aside from including language that pertain to densities/intensities and uses allowed within each future land use (FLU) type, each jurisdiction also has general policies that address the land use expectations around SR 417 and Interstate 4 interchanges. In general, the current comprehensive plans allow the types of high-technology and high-growth industry land uses intended for Seminole Way. In most cases, these land uses will fall in future land use districts that call for planned unit developments, mixed-use developments, commercial, office, and light industrial uses. Seminole County's Future Land Use Policies Policy FLU 5.6 on Higher Intensity Planned Development (HIP) Purpose: The Higher Intensity Planned Development (HIP) land use designation is designed as a mixed use category which combines an aggressive strategy to attract specific "target industry," minimize urban sprawl, provide affordable housing opportunities, and alternative transportation strategies.

SR 417 provides regional mobility benefits to Seminole County and the rest of Central Florida as an alternative north-south corridor to Interstate 4 and US 17-92. However, more importantly, it provides tremendous highway accessibility benefits to the county's residents, as it connects key activity centers such as the Lake Mary business parks on its northern terminus, the Sanford International Airport around its midpoint, and the University of Central Florida area on its southern end, Highway access points have traditionally been the first areas to develop and redevelop along a limited access highway. In terms of the Seminole Way Corridor, these access points are provided around ten interchanges on the SR 417 and Interstate 4. Interchanges are located at an interval of 1 to 2.5 miles, except where SR 417 crosses Lake Jesup. The network of state and county roadways that link to Seminole Way are important corridors that will facilitate and serve future growth. These roadways include: US 17-92, Orange Boulevard, SR 46, CR 46A, Lake Mary Boulevard, Airport Boulevard, CR 427, and Lake Mary Boulevard Extension in the City of Sanford. In the Cities of Winter Springs and Oviedo, SR 434 and Red Bug Lake Road are important roadways that provide direct access to SR 417 and connect these cities to the rest of the county. Lastly, Aloma Avenue (SR 426) is the County's southern gateway for residents and visitors using SR 417. Environmental Constraints Future development and redevelopment efforts along the Seminole Way Corridor will need to consider the environmental conditions along the Corridor. Figure 4 illustrates the wetlands, designated environmental protection areas, and conservation overlays designated by the different jurisdictions' Future Land Use maps. The city of Winter Springs and Seminole County both have a conservation overlay FLU designation that calls for additional review and analysis prior to development. Both jurisdictions' comprehensive plans suggest that the conservation overlay designation is not intended to prevent development, but rather is used to REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GLATTING JACKSON KERCHER ANGLIN 7U SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Draft identify sensitive areas that need further review to determine the extent of allowable development and the needed mitigation. If the conservation overlay area is determined developable and all mitigation requirements have been met, the underlying land use on the FLU map will apply. The map shows that the majority of the properties around Lake Jesup and Lake Monroe are wetland areas and has been designated as conservation overlay areas. Smaller wetland areas are scattered throughout the corridor and sporadically along the Seminole Way Corridor.

L `1 r f - ~ Y ~tl Figure 3: Transportation Infrastructure Data Source: Seminole County Figure 4: Environmental Constraints Data Source: Seminole County SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Draft Development Opportunities Analysis Assumptions and Methodology A detailed parcel-level analysis using GIS software was conducted to determine the extent and location of development opportunities along the study corridor. Properties that can be reached within aone-mile driving distance from interchanges using existing roadways would benefit most from the corridor's visibility and access are therefore considered key development parcels. The following criteria were used to further define the actual development opportunity among the one-mile network parcels: 1. Properties have to be one acre or larger. 2. Properties have to be either totally vacant or underutilized. Vacant properties are identified based on county-provided GIS data. Underutilized parcels are those parcels that have improved values of less than 40% of total property values (land plus improvement values) based on data from the County's property tax appraiser. In addition to analyzing properties that are within aone-mile network distance of interchanges, two additional development opportunity areas were identified. The first area includes properties that are generally within the comprehensive plan-designated Sanford I-4 High Intensity PD area and the County's Higher Intensity PD area. For the purposes of this analysis, this potential development area is called the "SR 46 HIP Area" and includes the properties bounded by Interstate 4 on the west side, the CSX rail line on the north side and SR 46 on the south side. This subset is further screened by the same two criteria used for the one-mile network development opportunity around interchanges (see previous paragraph) and excludes properties that are already previously identified in the first subset. The second potential development area is made up of properties that are within a mile of the Lake Mary Boulevard Extension. This area is considered a potential growth area because of its proximity to the airport and the access benefits provided by the Boulevard. As with the "SR 46 HIP Area", the development opportunity is made up of parcels that are one acre or larger and vacant or underutilized. Development Opportunity Areas (Vacant and Underutilized Properties) Figure 5 illustrates potential development opportunities, made up by vacant and underutilized properties, along the Seminole Way Corridor. Table 6 to 8 summarize the development opportunity by location and by parcel size groupings (between 1 and 5 acres and larger than 5 acres). Figure 6 shows the development opportunity areas grouped by interchange areas and growth areas. The development opportunity around the interchanges (not including the SR 46 HIP Area or the Lake Mary Blvd. Ext. Area) total more than 3,600 acres in land area. Of this, more than 60% are underutilized properties and less than 40% are vacant properties, in terms of land area. Close to 70% of the properties are between 1 acre and 5 acres, and around two thirds of these are underutilized properties. Among REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GLATTING JACKSON KERCHER ANGLIN 74 SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Draft the different interchange areas, the cluster around Rinehart Road/SR 46 and around US 17-92 offer the largest land area of development possibilities with close to 1,000 acres of vacant or underutilized properties.

The bulk of the development opportunity is concentrated near the airport along Lake Mary Boulevard Extension. Of the total development opportunity, two-thirds are properties that are considered underutilized and a third, or around 3,500 acres, are currently vacant. Of the total 1,100 parcels that make up the total development opportunity, almost 60% are between 1 and 5 acres in size. The rest are properties that are larger than 5 acres and make up almost 80% of the total land area of potential development. The results also show that more significant development opportunities exist around interchanges and key anchor areas (the Sanford International Airport and the Lake Mary office parks) north of Lake Jesup than on the corridor's southern segment. When combined with the additional growth areas, the northem segment accounts for more than 80% of the development opportunity in the entire corridor. This first series of analysis does not take into consideration any environmental considerations and includes properties in all FLU designations. Future Land Use Designations of Development Opportunity Areas Figure 7 shows the potential development opportunity areas and their future land use designations. The map shows that a majority of the large parcels identified in development opportunity areas are under a mixed use or planned development (PD) designation. Clusters of smaller parcels are located in areas designated commercial and office use. Along the northem shore of Lake Jesup and near the airport, some parcels considered redevelopable are under the suburban estates FLU designation.

Figure 8 illustrates the development opportunity areas with the environmental constraints overlay and Tables 9 to 11 quantifies the development opportunity. Figure 9 maps out parcels that are not constrained by environmental conditions. When the environmentally constrained properties were removed, the remaining development opportunity parcels were less than half of the original subset in terms of land area. This reduction is due to the more than 3,500 acres of underutilized properties and more than 2,000 acres of vacant properties that are affected by an environmental condition.

Figure 9: Vacant and Underutilized Properties Data Source: Seminole County not impacted by Environmental Constraints SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Draft Land Use Conclusions • The Seminole Way Corridor has significant opportunities for development and redevelopment. An estimated 8,000 acres of properties are ripe for development and redevelopment along the Seminole Way Corridor, around the SR 46 HIP area, and along the Lake Mary Boulevard Extension. These properties are made up of parcels which are currently vacant or underutilized and are larger than one acre in size. Along the SR 417 corridor itself, and immediately around interchanges, around 3,600 acres of properties are considered ready for development/redevelopment. • The Development Opportunities are concentrated around key interchanges and anchor uses north of Lake Jesup. The higher concentration of interchanges along the Corridor north of Lake Jesup allows for more parcels to be targeted as potential development opportunities. Additionally, the presence of the Sanford International Airport and the concentration of professional business parks in Lake Mary further strengthen the possibility for development activity in the SR 46 HIP Area and along Lake Mary Boulevard Extension. More modest development opportunities with smaller parcels of underutilized and vacant properties can be found south of Lake Jesup. • The environmental considerations could substantially impact the potential development opportunities along the Corridor. When screened for potential environmental constraints, the total acreage of developable and redevelopable properties was reduced to 3,300 acres, less than half of the original potential development opportunity subset. Although this is a relatively conservative approach to determining development potential, the study team feels that without a detailed analysis of the nature and extent of the environmental constraints, this figure more accurately quantifies the early phase opportunities for the Seminole Way Corridor development. A next-step study can be undertaken to more clearly understand the limitations that are brought by the environmental conditions, especially those around Lake Jesup. • Existing future land use policies of the County and the partner municipalities are supportive of the Seminole Way Corridor future goals. Comprehensive plan policies and future land use maps from all the partner jurisdictions generally support and allow the types, patterns, and densities of development of the industries targeted for the Seminole Way Corridor. All the jurisdictions call for some form of mixed-use development, planned development, or commercial and office uses around the corridors interohanges. Around the airport and near the SR 46 HIP area, the County and the City of Sanford also REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GLATTING JACKSON KERCHER ANGLIN 85 SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Draft have policies encouraging mixed-uses, light industrial uses and planned unit developments. As a next step, the County and the partner municipalities can incorporate stronger policies specific to Seminole Way and its implementation as part of their comprehensive plan updates and other policy changes. The goals of the Seminole Way Corridor should also be included in vision plans that are developed for areas along the corridor to reinforce the vision and provide guidance to the private development community. Lastly, a concerted strategic planning effort involving various jurisdictions can be conducted to more clearly understand and carry out the necessary regulatory changes to implement the goals for Seminole Way. • The majority of the parcels that are considered ripe for development are underutilized properties and not vacant properties. Because of this, additional incentives may be necessary to encourage redevelopment. Jurisdictions can explore various incentive strategies to promote the properties' redevelopment to high-technology and high growth industries. These incentives may include assistance for providing infrastructure (i.e. new roadway connections), streamlined permitting processes, and interlocal agreements between partner jurisdictions to assist property owners that abut or straddle jurisdiction boundaries. • A strong partnership and coordination between jurisdictions is necessary. This feasibility study is a great start for the various jurisdictions to come together and define the future vision for Seminole Way. As the program continues and changes in the regulatory framework are made, an even stronger partnership and coordination is necessary among the different jurisdictions to ensure the Corridor's success.

The accompanying Executive Summary provides a more expansive summary of the reports key findings. The Vision for SeminoleWay What Seminole County community and government leaders want are high value investments and high wage jobs in target industries sectors that will provide economic stability and growth for the next twenty years, or more. For many in local leadership roles, the vision is embodied not in the next successful office development or the next industrial park, which are easily predicted and clearly envisioned. Rather, they are wrestling with defining what will be relevant and needed in the county and the region when the next generation of leadership is in control and making decisions about what is best for its community. For many, it is necessary to understand what is emerging or only anticipated at this time. This report brings emerging economic trends and industry clusters into focus and evaluates their suitability for the SeminoleWay corridor. The "Vision" held by community stakeholders includes many specific goals and objectives. Based on the results of this analysis to date, "Success" would be defined as: 1. A vision or plan based on realistic economic opportunities for the Corridor, blending public resources, private business interests and education; 2. Attraction of businesses that add to the County's quality of life through stable investment, high-wage employment, environmentally friendly development, and support for existing economic base; 3. Expansion of the County's non-residential ad valorem tax base and other revenue sources; 4. Provision of appropriate land use controls and comprehensive plan policies throughout the Corridor to allow desirable "high value/high wage" (and maybe "high tech") businesses to find a place in the county; 5. Land owners understanding the vision of SeminoleWay and "buying in;" 6. Certainty that infrastructure resources, policies, and incentives are aligned at county and municipal levels to enhance the chances of achieving the economic development vision. Economic Futures Analysis Seminole County already possesses a significant amount of strategic economic development resources that can be readily applied to facilitate economic development within the SeminoleWay Corridor. The foundation for land use policy incentives has previously been laid with the existing HIP-TI targeted future industries land use category. Many of the policies and practices associate with HIP-TI could function to attract identified SeminoleWay economic clusters. Existing financial incentive programs, such as the Jobs Growth Initiative Fund, the Qualified Target Industry Tax Refund program, REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GLATTING JACKSON KERCHER ANGLIN 87 SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Draft and the Florida High Tech Corridor Council matching grants, will be or should be made available to targeted industries within SeminoleWay. The SeminoleWay initiative should continue to build upon and enhance the existing partnership with the University of Central Florida's Business Incubation program. Building upon the existing economic and industrial conditions in Seminole County and the greater Orlando MSA, the RERC team has identified four specific economic clusters with the greatest potential of fulfilling the SeminoleWay Corridor vision and fostering real long term economic growth in sustainable high wage, high impact industries. They are: 1. Financial services and information services 2. Digital media including modeling and simulation, film and broadcasting, themed entertainment and animation/game development 3. Life sciences including biotech and medical instrumentation 4. Technical and research services including civil and environmental engineering and so-called "green" architectural and engineering services These four clusters represent the most feasible and attractive future of the SeminoleWay Corridor given the context and previously identified constraints. Policy decisions concerning each cluster should be evaluated and tailored to exploit the resources identified within this report. Any limitations of or barriers to the successful cultivation of the SeminoleWay targeted industry clusters are likely to be spatially specific in nature. From a global perspective, the SeminoleWay Corridor is already well suited to attract and sustain each of the identified clusters without significant hindrance from transportation infrastructure, environmental constraints, suitable housing, educational resources, or land use and comprehensive planning policies. Land Use Analysis Accounting for environmental constraints and major accessibility issues, the State Road 417 Corridor between I-4 and the Orange County line contains about 3,300 acres of land that could be considered suitable for economic development efforts of the SeminoleWay vision. Of these ripe lands, the majority of acreage can be classified as underutilized rather than vacant. Approximately 500 acres within the two mile corridor and nearly 900 acres located within the Sanford Orlando Airport and HIP areas are functionally vacant. These constraints suggest that targeted industries and development within the corridor will necessarily be focused toward smaller individual developments and businesses that may not require a large tightly clustered campus and the associated large tracts of raw undeveloped land. To serve the most obvious target industries and businesses, large- scale land assemblage is probably not necessary. The suitable land within SeminoleWay is, however, clustered around readily accessible SR 417 interchanges. SR 417 itself provides ready and efficient access to both interstate 4, Sanford Orlando Intemational Airport and Orlando Intemational Airport. The future land use policies of Seminole County and the SeminoleWay partner municipalities currently governing the available lands around the SR 417 interchanges support the REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GLATTING JACKSON KERCHER ANGLIN $$ SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Draft SeminoleWay vision and may require only minor adjustment on a spatially specific basis to fully accommodate the specific SeminoleWay targeted industries. While it appears unlikely that a major "ship of gold" opportunity will be drawn to SeminoleWay's limited harbors, there will be many, many opportunities to draw high value cargo to the county's scattered ports and business centers via tenders, shuttles, and barges that connect the county's resources with motherships of targeted industry clusters of tomorrow. Next Steps RERC recommended next steps include: • Completion and further interpretation of spatially specific land use, traffic and supporting infrastructure analysis at the SR 417 interchange and parcel specific level. • Identification of secondary requirements for housing, retail or other support facilities consistent with the demands of development expected within the targeted industries. • Further description of the competitive environment for the SeminoleWay targeted industries. • Review of existing economic development SeminoleWay marketing plans and evaluation of alternatives for long term SeminoleWay marketing initiatives. • Evaluation of existing economic development and incentive policies and proposed modifications as they relate to the SeminoleWay targeted industries at specifically identified locations. • Identification of key persons responsible for marketing initiatives and formulation of SeminoleWay progress benchmarks.

It requires coordination and consistency of policies, as well as supporting infrastructure and resources. To enhance the opportunities for successful implementation, it also takes relevant and accurate information regarding the economic marketplace and the possible obstacles that might constrain or redirect the most practical options and pathways. In a globally competitive world where technological changes can sweep swiftly like waves across the sea, one locale must focus intently all of its resources on the target and move quickly. At the same time, foundations must be laid to provide the infrastructure and support systems that might not be fully capitalized for a decade, or more. In this evolving and highly charged environment, reflecting the character of a well built community already near maturation, the SeminoleWay initiative was conceived by a visionary partnership of business and governmental leaders -The Seminole County Regional Chamber of Commerce. The Mission: to create a strategic land use and economic development plan focused on attracting high value/high wage jobs and businesses to the county along the State Road 417 Corridor and across I-4 to the Port of Sanford. For the past twenty years, Seminole County has pioneered and wrestled with the challenges of maintaining a strong comprehensive plan that encourages positive economic growth for the future beyond only dependency on ad valorem tax-supported growth. The SeminoleWay initiative will continue this forward thinking and create an positive environment and effective strategies for bringing business and government together in pursuit of a strong, stable, and relevant economic future of investment, livable incomes, and high quality employment. In the following pages, this report explores: 1. goals and visions for economic development in the SeminoleWay corridor; 2. local resources for economic development; 3. important and relevant historical economic trends in Seminole County and the central Florida region; 4. economics futures for the county; and 5. land use trends and policies that will be important to attracting high value/high wage jobs and businesses to the county. All five of these subject areas must be incorporated into a coordinated and effective strategy for identifying how the SeminoleWay dream may come true. REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GLATTING JACKSON KERCHERANGLIN 4 SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Draft Study Area Contexf Seminole County has identified a study corridor generally consistent with the alignment of SR 417, extending north from Orange County to Interstate 4. Along this comdor there are seven interchanges providing varying access to approximately 3,700 acres of undeveloped property distributed among owners of more than 4,000 vacant or seriously underutilized parcels. The county has indicated a preference to position this corridor to support targeted industries which might complement or expand the base of high technology, higher wage employment already established in the North I-4/Lake Mary HIP area and proximate to UCF in Orange County. Preliminary assessment of the opportunity has suggested that only a limited number of the undeveloped acres (25% or less) are in large assemblages and only a small part of the larger parcels are adequately served by SR 417. The restricted access may be further constrained by the toll structure on SR 417 and the absence of supporting alternate roads paralleling the expressway. In any case, potential industry targets, typical users associated with these targets, the supportable scale of development, land use designations consistent with these activities, location or infrastructure requirements, and the range of incentives or policies necessary to induce the targets to the corridor are the primary issues addressed in this report. Given concerns about the corridor's transportation capacity, special consideration of how spatial relationships and mobility could affect any implementation strategy are also part of this analysis. Practically, this analysis accepts the limitations imposed by the physical configuration of the existing road system and evaluates alternatives generally matched to the known or anticipated capacity. A later phase of this planning initiative might identify alternative prospective economic development opportunities and modify or enhance the assumptions regarding infrastructure perceived necessary to secure these opportunities. The preferred approach is to pursue the former option, considering the latter only if the initial assessment points to obviously unexploited target segments of exceptional high value. Ultimately, the basis for proceeding with the preferred plan is a comparison of the fiscal and economic advantages of a trend-based analysis reflecting current land use expectations relative to the fiscal and economic advantages realized under alternative scenario(s). These comparisons would focus on the expectations of shifting emphasis from lower valued land uses to higher value land uses and activities however these may be defined in the course of this work. The Vision for SeminoleWay It is extremely difficult to measure success and create a pathway to it if no clear vision for the outcome can be defined. One can imagine a high rise office tower, design it, build it, occupy it, and know when the project is manifest. The same is generally true with a residential subdivision, an airport, a downtown, a roadway, or a university. It is almost impossible to measure success of an economic development initiative without defining goals and objectives of the process; setting measurable benchmarks for jobs REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GLATTING JACKSON KERCHER ANGLIN 5 SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Draft and investments; coordinating land use and regulatory policies; establishing specific desired outcomes; and providing tools and resources along the pathway. At the end of the effort, what Seminole County community and government leaders want are high value investments and high wage jobs in target industries sectors that will provide economic stability and growth for the next twenty years, or more. For many in local leadership roles, the vision is embodied not in the next successful office development or the next industrial park, which are easily predicted and clearly envisioned. Rather, they are wrestling with defining what will be relevant and needed in the county and the region when the next generation of leadership is in control and making decisions about what is best for its community. For many, it is necessary to understand what is emerging or only anticipated at this time -what will the future bring? This report attempts to bring emerging economic trends and industry clusters into focus and to evaluate their suitability for the SeminoleWay corridor. As part of our analysis, many stakeholders of the community and local businesses were interviewed to find the common elements of the vision, and to express goals and objectives for this planning effort and its implementation. Based on the results of this analysis to date, "Success" would be defined as: 1. A vision or plan based on realistic economic opportunities for the Corridor, blending public resources, private business interests and education; 2. Attraction of businesses that add to the County's quality of life through stable investment, high-wage employment, environmentally friendly development, and support for existing economic base; 3. Expansion of the County's non-residential ad valorem tax base and other revenue sources; 4. Provision of appropriate land use controls and comprehensive plan policies throughout the Corridor to allow desirable "high value/high wage" (and maybe "high tech") businesses to find a place in the county; 5. Land owners understanding the vision of SeminoleWay and "buying in;" 6. Certainty that infrastructure resources, policies, and incentives are aligned at county and municipal levels to enhance the chances of achieving the economic development vision. The "Vision" held by community stakeholders includes many specific goals and objectives, key observations such as those shared in the following pages. REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GLATTING JACKSON KERCHER ANGLIN 6 SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Draft Goals and Objectives of this Plan The following specific goals and objectives have been excerpted from surveys of local leaders and stakeholders in the SeminoleWay study corridor. For this analysis, goals and objectives are grouped by major topic relevant to development of a plan for SeminoleWay: Comarehensive Plans for Countv and Cities 1. Insure that rules, regulations, and land uses are appropriate 2. Comprehensive plans need to be consistent and appropriate 3. Make sure all comp plan amendments are successfully completed Countv aarticigation and city cooaeration 1. Don't assume much investment of resources from county 2. Cities of Sanford, Oviedo, and Winter Springs need to participate/cooperate 3. County should playa "supporting" role, not lead implementation 4. "Concerted response" between county, cities, and business community 5. Cities and county should have similar land use policies for consistent response to prospects that share in the vision Land Utilization and Density 1. Higher densities should be allowed around key intersections or "nodes" 2. all rural lands and environmental lands need to be protected 3. 17-92 and SeminoleWay are two "long-term" corridors 4. Higher density "hubs" should be allowed/promoted around sr 417 interchanges 5. Pursue highest and best use for remaining vacant lands 6. Allow mixed land uses to provide more long-term sustainability and give "back-stop" for target industries 7. Land uses in the corridor need to include residential for 24-hour activity Property Owner and Developer Response 1. Development environment needs to be "developer friendly" 2. Looking fora "seamless" land use corridor that can be marketed to development community 3. Get landowners to "buy in" which includes proper incentives such as additional entitlements and mixed uses Incubators and Hi-Tech Industry Generation 1. Should be more development like incubators that foster spin-off growth 2. Specify target industries and be receptive to prospects 3. Focus on key local "hi-tech" industries, including: a. optics, photonics b. lasers, simulation, modeling c. digital media d. aerospace and civil engineering ("green sciences") e. microbiology 4. Repeat local examples of "home-grown" incubator spin-offs such as RINI Technologies and Crystal Photonics 5. Insure that facilities needs are met with Class B office or flex-space products REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GLATTING JACKSON KERCHER ANGLIN SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Draft 6. Incubators have a 50% success rate; 84% of graduates stay nearby; graduates have 5 to 10 year maturation period 7. Attractive offices of the future need to add technology and other amenities to distinguish product to a high value target prospect Role of the Orlando-Sanford International Airport 1. Important to get cooperation and support of Sanford and Airport 2. Airport and surrounding land should become a "core" for high-value industry development 3. Sanford and airport should be key partners in this effort Role of Education and University 1. Seminole County communities are attractive and should be considered "assets" along with schools and workforce 2. "Affordability" of housing for workforce a limiting issue 3. Build on programs at UCF that can support new high-wage employment 4. Provide attractive community environment for university researchers, faculty, and graduates Economic and Fiscal Impacts 1. Attract development with "high-value tax base" and derive new construction impacts (UCF incubator is good example) 2. Lake mary/I-4 sub-area must be promoted to grow more businesses that need expanded space or lower rents 3. "Redevelopment" in the corridor makes sense to achieve objectives 4. "Success" will also be measured in potential tax base enhancements; method needed to measure jobs, tax impacts "before and after" -county must document return-on-investment Moving forward with the next phases of planning for SeminoleWay, these goals and objectives -along with the findings of the industry analysis and land use analysis -will form the basis of a strategic plan and an action agenda. REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GLATTING JACKSON KERCHER ANGLIN 8 SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Draft Historical Perspectives Regional Demographics -Orlando MSA Central Florida as a Res~ion The Orlando Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) is comprised of four counties: Orange, Osceola, Seminole and Lake and is situated in the east-central portion of the state. The 2005 population estimate was 1,953,354, and the 2025 forecast projects the Metro Area's population will increase by more than half to 3,059,540, or by 1,106,186 new residents. Like population, housing units have grown at a tremendous pace. In 1970, the five county total was approximately 263,000 units. The 2000 Census count estimated the figure to be 910,000, while the 2025 forecast figure is almost 1,600,000 housing units. The region has been experiencing a transition from an agricultural area to a residential community in the past decades due to the declining economic viability in the agricultural industry in this region. This has had ramifications on the types of land uses that have been approved and developed, their scale and density/intensity, and their location in the region and county. Orange County has developed quicker due to its superior access, as well as major employment and activity centers and municipalities. The southeastern quadrant of the county has been catching up with an assortment of residential communities and supporting commercial facilities, coinciding with the expanding access and transportation facilities constructed in the 1990s that linked the area closer to the Orlando core and other regional activity/employment centers. A similar trend is expected to occur in the southwestern areas of Orange County and southern Lake County over the next decade with the completion of the western beltway (429). Mirroring the residential growth in the recent past, the counties within the Central Florida region have experienced a healthy growth in supporting non-residential development. The following is a summary of the tax rolls for the five counties in the region for space built as of 2005: • Retail -approximately 165,000,000 square feet of retail development. • Office -almost 85,000,000 square feet of office development. • Industrial -approximately 196,000,000 square feet of industrial development. • Hotels and Accommodations -more than 125,000 rooms and timeshare units • Single family homes -approximately 700,000 units • Multi-Family apartments -approximately 275,000 units Orlando Metropolitan Area Historical Overview The Orlando Metro Area is the third most populated MSA in the State of Florida, ranking just behind the four-county, Tampa-St. Petersburg MSA and the single county, Miami- Dade MSA, respectively. The Lakeland-Winter Haven MSA ranks ninth in the State, sandwiched between the Daytona Beach MSA (8th place) and the Melbourne-Titusville- Palm Bay MSA (10th place). In total, the cost-to-coast regional "belt" now contains a combined total population of more than 3.5 million persons, placing it among the top ten REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GLATTING JACKSON KERCHER ANGLIN 9 SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Draft "consolidated metropolitan areas" in the nation, competing for attention and resources with regions such as New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington-Baltimore, and Dallas-Fort Worth. The four counties in the Orlando MSA are inextricably linked through the metro area's major road network, international airports, commuting patterns, educational facilities, major employment centers, retail centers, and sporting and cultural facilities. Each of the four counties is simultaneously co-dependent and independent. As the Lakeland- Winter Haven, Daytona Beach, and Melbourne-Titusville MSA's continue to grow, they develop closer links to the Orlando MSA.

US Census records indicate growth in the 1990 to 2000 period maintained an average of about 42,000 new residents per year to reach a 2000 population of 1,644,563. The state has continued to increase its population by over 3 million per decade in the past twenty years. Local counties in Central Florida and the State as a whole have seen a healthy increase in the rate of population growth within the past five years compared to earlier time periods. The table above reflects the following: REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GIATTING JACKSON KERCHER ANGLIN 1 U SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Draft • Lake County has experienced a continuous upswing in population growth, adding 47,000 between 1980 and 1990, while adding over 58,000 between 1990 and 2000, and has already added 52,490 between 2000 and 2005. • Orange County continues to dominate the local landscape in terms of population growth, adding over 200,000 people in each decade for the past twenty years. In the period between 2000 and 2005 it is estimated Orange County added approximately 147,100 residents at a rate 50% ahead of the past two decades. • Osceola County is continuing to grow ever faster, adding more than 58,000 between 1980 and 1990 and almost 65,000 between 1990 and 2000, and has already added more than 62,600 between 2000 and 2005. • Seminole County's growth slowed in the last decade, adding approximately 77,600 residents between 1990 and 2000, after adding almost 108,000 between 1980 and 1990. Since 2000, however, the pace has quickened with more than 46,500 new residents. • Orange County still dominates the population growth in the four county area, accounting for about 50% of the population growth between 1980 and 2005. • Lake County's share grew from 11 % in 1980 and 1990 to 13.5% in 2005. • Osceola County's share has more than doubled since 1980, from 5% to 12% in 2005. • Seminole County's share remained fairly constant, rising from 15% in 1980 to 21% in 2005.

A closer look at Seminole County is particularly important when tasked with determining the local resources capable of supporting Seminole County speck targeted industry clusters. Any recommendation stemming from an economic and industry analysis must necessarily consider many facets of population and income including existing conditions, past growth trends, and future projections. As of the most recent 2007 estimates, Seminole County consisted of approximately 160,000 households totaling more nearly 418,000 persons, approximately 60,000 more persons than indicated by the 2000 census. While population growth has recently occurred at a relatively modest two percent compound annual growth rate, Seminole County has steadily improved upon what was already the highest median annual household income in the Orlando MSA, nearly $50,000 per household in 2000, to over $57,000 per household in 2007. Additionally, Seminole County has experienced a decrease in the percentage of households in the lowest income brackets and an increase in the percentage of households in the very highest income brackets. Favorable household income demographics typically illustrate that Seminole County currently possesses the variety of housing types, and other assorted amenities, that the employers and creators of high wage positions generally desire. Within that context, the following tables summarize Census 2000 figures, 2007 estimates and 2012 projections for key demographics for Seminole County.

In addition, median household income grew from $49,419 to over $57,000 annually while average household income grew from $63,724 in 2000 to an estimated $76,088 in 2007. In the last seven years, these increases in population and income represent an annual growth rate of approximately 2 percent. Slightly slower population growth rates, accompanied by higher household incomes indicate that new regional population is likely locating within other MSA counties based upon more affordable market dynamics. • Population, households, and household income are all projected to continue growing by approximately 2 percent annually. While these representative growth rates may be the lowest in the Orlando, MSA, Seminole County can be considered the most built out county within the MSA and possesses the highest population density per square mile and the highest average and median household incomes. REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GLATTING JACKSON KERCHER ANGLIN 23 SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Draft The household income distribution in Seminole County is projected to remain favorable. Approximately 25 percent of the households in 2007 eamed between $60,000 and $99,000. The existence of a large proportion of households within the higher household income brackets indicate that Seminole County has already been established as not only a concentrated pocked of high wage employment, but also a desirable destination and homestead for the highest earners. More than 22 percent of households eamed more than $100,000 annually in 2007, while approximately 16 percent earned under $25,000. In the next five years, the under $25,000 income bracket is projected to shrink to 15 percent of total households. Likewise, high income households are expected to increase. The over $100,000 income bracket is projected to grow to 27 percent of total households by 2012. • The impressive household incomes and distributions within Seminole County indicate the potential for high income support industries associated with SeminoleWay targeted industry clusters and existing high wage employment. Past Development Trends -Seminole County Over the last 25 years, Seminole County has experienced, through careful planning and influenced by various market forces, several shifts in the sizing and geographic clustering of specific development, including office, industrial, and multi-family residential uses. Understanding recent trends in land use changes in addition to the existing land use picture of Seminole County more clearly highlights the path from where Seminole County has been to where Seminole County desires to go. Non population based employment generation has typically been spun'ed by office and industrial uses. While other commercial uses, such as retail, generally exist to serve the needs of existing population, these core uses have long existing as fountains of employment attracting corresponding workforces. In addition, noting the geographical distribution of multi-family housing can function as an additional indicator of major geographical employment centers. This brief land use analysis focuses on the past development trends of the office, industrial, and multifamily residential uses and highlights the existing geographic clustering of those same uses.

Furthermore, more than 55 percent of all existing Office and Retail development has been constructed since 1990. The relatively high proportion of newer Retail and Office development indicate that the vast majority of these uses are functionally adequate to serve the needs of the existing and future targeted industries within Seminole County. This is further evidenced by the fact that less than 17 percent of existing Retail space and only 13 percent of existing office space was constructed prior to 1980. • While opportunities for Office and Retail redevelopment certainly exist, in total, Seminole County is likely well positioned to meet the needs of existing industries in both the present and the near future. On average, the functional age of Industrial development has exceeded that of other non residential uses. Correspondingly, approximately 17 percent of existing Industrial square footage and parcels were constructed between 2000 and 2007. This older age is not necessarily indicative of a deficit in newer and suitable Industrial space, as Industrial development typically exhibits more facile reuse properties and is not as tightly tethered to population growth. The relatively older age of Industrial development in Seminole County may however indicate a decrease in Industrial land demand as the county transitions to other industries and employment generators. Office Trends In order to better understand both historical office development trends and the existing Seminole County office inventory, RERC analyzed recent and historical property appraiser data.

Office parcels possessing 50,000 square feet or more of improved office space account for nearly 50 percent of all improved office square footage. At the same time, Office parcels possessing fewer than 10,000 improved square feet account approximately 26 percent of all improved office square footage. • Nearly 25 percent of the existing office developments possessing more than 50,000 square feet of improved space have been constructed since 2000. This recently constructed space is more likely to be suitable and attractive to users of both existing industries as well as users of potentially targeted industries in the near future. • In the decades prior to 1990, large scale office development (>50,000 s.f.) accounted for approximately 43 percent of all constructed square footage and 3 percent of all office parcels, while small scale office development (<10,000 s.f.) accounted for roughly 30 percent of square footage and more than 88 percent of new parcels. • Between 1990 and 2000 there was a shift in office construction towards large scale office development, where developments possessing greater than 50,000 square feet accounted for more than 64 percent of office square feet construction and nearly 9 percent of all new office parcels. • The current decade has seen a shift back to pre-1990 office construction patterns, as large scale office developments comprise just over 46 percent of the office square footage constructed between 2000 and 2007. REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GLATTING JACKSON KERCHER ANGLIN 28 SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Draft Industrial Trends Over time, Seminole County has experienced changes in the size and pace of Industrial development. An understanding of the functional age of Industrial development, as well as the size of development historically being constructed, can provide a useful snapshot for determining the capability of Seminole County's existing Industrial space to attract and support future users within any SeminoleWay targeted industry clusters.

However, the larger industrial parcels, those possessing greater than 50,000 square feet, have accounted for an increasing portion of the total industrial square feet added to the tax rolls over time. • On average, larger industrially developed parcels have been constructed more recently than their smaller counterparts. Approximately 65 percent of Seminole County's existing industrial developments smaller than 50,000 square feet were constructed prior to 1990, while only 50 percent of existing parcels larger than 50,000 square feet were constructed prior to 1990. Multi- Familv Residential Trends: Typically, multi-family apartment residential development services a large percentage of workforce and affordable housing demand. As such, apartment trends track both changes in household incomes and demand for workforce housing over time.

Nearly 77 percent of existing multi-family apartment parcels was constructed prior to 1990. Almost 50 percent of all apartment development was constructed in the 1980s, concomitant with a boom in Office, Retail, and Industrial development during the same period. Apartment demand and construction dwindled during the 1990's, suggesting either a surplus of adequate supply or more likely a shift in the housing preferences associated with the users of the large scale Office development occurring throughout that decade. Geographical Distribution of Existing Uses Office Concentrations The major office concentration in Seminole County is clustered around Interstate Highway 4 between Lake Mary Boulevard and State Road 46A. Additional office clusters exist at the intersection of State Road 46 and US Highway 17-92, the intersection of State Road 46 and State Road 46A, and the corridors connecting I-4 and US 17-92 on both State Road 434 and State Road 436.

Before a forward thinking approach can be fostered and policy, resource, and infrastructure gaps can be remedied, it is necessary to understand the current economic development resource inventory and its adequacy to support SeminoleWay target industries. These economic development resources take the shape of existing infrastructure, regulatory and incentive policies, financial resources, and educational support. Many of the resources are offered by the economic development councils of Seminole County and her municipalities, as well as Metro Orlando EDC, higher education systems, and industry partnerships. The following sections highlight some of the most relevant features the economic development landscapes of the greater region and Seminole County have to offer.

A Futures Analysis will arm policy makers with a detailed picture of the current economic landscape as well as begin to identify the appropriate paths leaders must embark on to achieve the desired realistic economic and industry outcomes that are feasible for the SeminoleWay corridor. A futures analysis aims to quantify the economic potential for the SeminoleWay corridor by accomplishing the following tasks: 1. Examining future industry formations to identify, rank, and measure potential opportunities based on emerging sectors and clusters. 2. Identifying existing or future industries in the region and corridor which have the greatest local competitive advantage. 3. Benchmarking clusters to measure how competitive a region is relative to other similar regions or to the nation as a whole. 4. Indicating relative levels of supportable activity within the general study area. Within that context, RERC retained Innovation Insight, Inc. of Wesley Chapel, Florida to conduct a Futures Analysis for the SeminoleWay Corridor, Seminole County, and the greater Orlando Metro Area. Towards that effort, Innovation Insight completed a detailed economic cluster analysis, conducted a multitude of interviews with industry leaders and stakeholders within identified and targeted clusters, and detailed the relevant infrastructure needs of targeted SeminoleWay economic clusters. That work effort follows: Economic Cluster Analysis • Economic cluster analysis was popularized by Dr. Michael Porter of Harvard in the 80s. It became very popular for its focus on competitiveness factors that included innovation, economies of scale, knowledge production, networks, and relationships in addition to traditional factor (cost) considerations of traditional economic geography. While cluster analysis has become the most popular paradigm utilized by professional economic developers, the process of intentional creation and incubation of regional economic clusters is still poorly understood and documented. The effective geographic scale for cluster analysis is between national and MSA levels. County and zip code-level geographic boundaries rarely can contain a sufficiently comprehensive mix of supporting factors and industries to constitute a true cluster. For that reason, county- and sub-county-level analysis is best performed in context of the industrial makeup of the larger metropolitan area. There are effectively three ways that economic clusters can be intentionally fostered: REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GLATTING JACKSON KERCHER ANGLIN 4U SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Draft Organic: Identification of an existing competitive cluster to be fostered and encouraged to grow via incentives, zoning, investment, and other economic development activity. The rise of Boston's medical industries, Silicon Valley, and Metro Orlando's aerospace industry cluster could be considered examples of organic cluster development. All organic clusters have a historical impetus. • De Novo: Creating a new industry cluster "from scratch", with little to no existing economic basis. The Florida Scripps facility, the original Disneyworld development, and to a lesser extent the Burnham Institute in Lake Nona, can be considered "De Novo" cluster development activity. Secondary: Identification of niches, specialized related industries, and specialized support industries and resources selected to capitalize upon (yet developed separately from) an existing regional industry cluster or clusters. This is based upon the recognition that a subregion may not have sufficient basis for de novo or organic cluster growth on its own. However, a subregion may be able to capitalize upon its geographic or supporting industry characteristics to justify a distinct effort. Research Framework The objective of this research is to empirically identify the best probably focus for economic cluster development activity regarding the "Seminole Way" region. The best research framework will be one that comprehensively looks at both quantitative (economic) data and qualitative (expert) feedback to rank and select cluster candidates. Given that the Seminole Way region is too small for cluster analysis independent of the larger county and MSA, we believe that the best cluster candidates for the Seminole Way region should be selected from the intersection of: • Competitive existing or emerging industry clusters at the MSA level, in which Seminole County has a competitive foundation. A competitive level of supporting industries that are at the intersection of multiple MSA-level industry clusters. An existing minimal basis of industries within the 4-zipcode area of the Seminole Way relevant to MSA-level industry clusters. Compefi>tive MSA Clusters In 2006, Innovation Insight, of Wesley Chapel, Florida, conducted a comprehensive, empirical analysis of the Metro Orlando region's most competitive economic clusters for the Metro Orlando EDC. The study looked at occupational activity, federal REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GLATTING JACKSON KERCHER ANGLIN 41 SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Draft procurement and grant award activity, patent and intellectual property activity, and industry salary, productivity, and specialization data. The study looked at recent historical trends and forecasted five years into the future. The Seminole Way cluster analysis takes advantage of this very comprehensive body of regional data, and through comparison with more recent data confirms that the 2006 study's findings are still relevant. The most competitive clusters overall were identified as the following: • Information services • Precision instruments (closely tied to "photonics and lasers") • Basic health services • Business /professional services • Computer and electronic equipment (the fastest growing cluster overall) • Higher education & hospitals • Aerospace • Hotel and transportation services The following clusters were considered "emerging" -while not specialized in terms of significant employment, they were found growing and attractive due to other features such as salaries, productivity, and procurement activity. • Arts and media (tied to "film and entertainment" as well as "digital media") • Construction machinery and distribution equipment • Nondurable industry machinery • Financial services and insurance (one of the highest paying clusters) • Nonresidential building products REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GLATTING JACKSON KERCHER ANGLIN 42 SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Draft Metro Orlando Industry Clusters Employment Relative to the United States 2DOM2009 Forecasted Growth 12 096 - ------- ---- ---- -- -- .. _ _....__ __..._ '~ j- . heeRh evcs 11596 ~ ,. ..~~_,, _.. _ . i ~~ 11096 ' ~' '._._ ~ .. __ ___ _ ;,.

Four "core" clusters were identified that met these criteria: • Financial services and information services • Digital media including modeling and simulation, film and broadcasting, themed entertainment and animation/game development • Life sciences including biotech and medical instrumentation • Technical and research services including civil and environmental engineering and to a large extent architectural and engineering services Based upon the research, we further refine the recommended strategies for the core clusters as follows: Green biotech: the intersection of plant-based biotech and biofuels research and production. For the life sciences cluster, focus on the availability of a wet lab facility for small businesses, providing cluster-specfic ongoing training and seminar resources, identify and foster intermediary manufacturing solutions for enzymes, pharmaceuticals, and other biologicals to encourage local growth and retention, build shell facilities to support build-in biotech/life sciences companies, and develop a zoning and construction plan for additional greenhouses and dedicated agricultural property to support plant- based research and development, research trials, and contract and intermediary manufacturing of biologicals. Develop a cellulosic enzyme production strategy to support Florida's growing ethanol biofuels industry in partnership with UCF researchers and major blended fuels consumers such as FPL Energy. Green Buildings: a starting point for the region's technical, civil, environmental and related engineering services industry, which constitutes much of the technical and research services cluster. This is a desirable cluster in terms of wages and growth, but its growth is largely driven by local development activity. Given Governor Christ's endorsement of Green Building concepts and the relative lack of LEED-certified engineers in Florida, a consortia-based approach to reducing the costs for local firms to certify their engineers can help to reduce import of LEED-certified engineering services and increase the ability of local firms to compete for projects both inside and outside of Florida. The financial services /information services cluster will benefit from continued support of the Heathrow /Lake Mary region. However, for purposes of the Seminole Way corridor, an increased focus on smaller REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GLATTING JACKSON KERCHER ANGLIN 47 SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Draft companies (10-40 employees), an extension of efforts Eastward along Lake Mary Boulevard, and along-term plan to map, improve, and promote quality broadband /wireless telecom, power, and transportation infrastructure in that area will help to increase the attractiveness and competitiveness of that area for financial and information services companies. The digital media media cluster has tremendous potential for the region. A strong incubation and small business support strategy will most complement Orlando's developing Creative Village concept and the Florida Interactive Entertainment Academy (FIFA), particularly as there is evidence that much of the industry is characterized by freelancers and home-based service providers. The strategy for this cluster should support the recent Digital Media Banner Center awarded to Seminole Community College, and extending its services and benefits to other SCC campuses. This cluster will also benefit from services and resources to help freelancers and small businesses convert and stay abreast of the latest digital /high definition tools and standards. This cluster may also benefit the most from the availability of an incubator or other shared facilities supporting very high intemet broadband capabilities and perhaps shared computational/rendering farms and audio/visual studios. • The Orlando-Seminole Intemational Airport is potentially a tremendous asset to the Seminole Way region. However, its potential will remain largely unfulfilled from an economic development standpoint unless its portfolio of national and intemational direct flights can be significantly increased. Its value for the core clusters includes: • Access to clients and markets and other business units by the financial services sector. However, most travel in this cluster is probably focused through the Orlando Intemational Airport. • Flexible building shells for the life sciences /biotech cluster. • Hobby /executive pilot resource for all clusters. Business /office park property near the airport will be attractive to corporate CEOs, founders and entrepreneurs with active piloting interests. • Available undeveloped property Each of the "core" industry clusters discussed (life sciences, digital media, financial services /information services, and technical /research services) identified broadband intemet connectivity as a competitiveness factor. For life sciences and technical /research services, this is probably mostly a matter of preference that will be addressed by market forces (they will pay for what the level of connectivity they need). However, for financial /information services and especially digital media, broadband connectivity can be a "make or break" competitiveness issue in the next ten years. • Financial services products and transaction processing are increasingly reliant upon Internet connectivity, and trends within this industry are toward globalization of business processes (geographic distribution of business units) that require spotless and continual broadband connectivity. Perhaps most important (anecdotally) is the perception of overall consistency and REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GLATTING JACKSON KERCHER ANGLIN 48 SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Draft quality of all telecommunications services available to this industry versus ubiquitous broadband availability. Digital media companies will have the greatest, and fastest growing needs for connectivity in order to communicate with clients, deliver large, dense media content, to stream audio and video, and even for remote processing and computing tasks. Increasing the broadband connectivity for a building can vary tremendously by location and service provider, resulting in 3-10x increase in costs for both infrastructure (cable and fiber) as well as monthly service. In consideration of these costs and the fact that much of this cluster consists of small companies and freelancers, the best strategy may be to: Create a county "broadband map", including which buildings already are wired to 1000baseT ethernet, the location of fiber trunks (connecting a building to a trunk across the street or further can cost an additional $60,000 or more), and which buildings already have OC-3 or greater connections. Build up a few "islands" of broadband, including a business incubator and possibly a few other multi-tenant office buildings as supported by demand with OC-3 or greater connections. These buildings may require inexpensive cellular repeaters to further support ubiquitous connectivity. It should be noted that 802.11# wireless "hotspot" availability was not identified as a significant issue for any of the interviewed clusters. Four Seminole Way Clusfers Cluster: Dis~ital Media From the cluster analysis, the "Arts and Media" industry cluster best represents digital media activities. Digital media is closely tied to UCF's Institute for Modeling and Simulation, as well as UCF's School of Film and Digital Media. In the region, major attractors include the EA Tiburon headquarters (NE downtown area), the Creative Village complex (downtown), the Florida Interactive Entertainment Academy (FIFA) and UCF. • Professionals in the digital media sector are best understood as "creatives", with special lifestyle and working environment expectations that differs from other professions especially from an economic development perspective. The digital media sector is undergoing rapid transformation and growth, as many traditional industries (advertising, public relations, publishing, broadcast and film industries) struggle to embrace new regulations for high-definition television and consumer demand for electronic and mobile communication. This is particularly true of the region's film and broadcast industry, which can benefit from support as it shifts from analog /traditional film, audio and photography platforms toward digital /high-definition /effects and animation services in order to remain competitive. REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GIATTING JACKSON KERCHER ANGLIN 49 SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Draft By February 17, 2009, the FCC will require all television broadcasters to transition from analog to digital television. Although there is no regulated cutoff date, US theaters are also quickly installing digital cinema systems to replace traditional analog projectors. As these transitions take place, all film, broadcast, commercial and studio services providers (in the metro Orlando region or anywhere else in the US) that remain in business will effectively be entirely "digital media" producers. In general, professionals in this sector can benefit from increased local access to non-degree, even non-certificate training to stay abreast of latest design and communications innovations and tools. • The Metro Orlando region has the capacity to distinguish itself in this sector, and is anecdotally comparable to growing digital media metropoles such as Vancouver, Raleigh-Dufiam, Salt Lake City, Singapore, Montreal, and Austin, Texas. In practice, the digital media cluster in the metro Orlando region is characterized by the following categories: • Large themed entertainment providers (Universal, MGM, Disney). The digital entertainment needs of this sector are most closely tied to the interactive environment technologies of the modeling and simulation sector. Traditional 2D film /television /commercial production studios (Universal, MGM, Disney) and the previsualization, pre- and post-production companies that support that industry. This sector is undergoing tremendous transformation in face of demand for digital film content. The largest number of companies in this sector appear to be small service providers and freelancers. • 3D design, digital effects, flash / actionscript, and animation studios. • Marketing, advertising, and public relations agencies that have added capacity to deal with intemet and design needs of their clients. • Digital communications companies, such as IT TV, streaming media, podcasting, videocasting, teleconference solutions and content providers. Little attention has been given to this category, and is probably characterized by freelancers and very small operations. • Digital gaming and game design companies such as Electronic Arts / Tiburon. The digital gaming industry is beginning to rival the film industry for the "box office" revenue generated by individual titles. • Graphic design, digital and print publications, web design and digital art companies. • GIS (Geographic Information Systems), geocentric media, and mobile media REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GLATTING JACKSON KERCHER ANGLIN 50 SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Draft • Digital design and arts schools such as Full Sail Other niches such as e-learning /education, audio and sound design, medical /technical /architectural visualization, forensic legal animation, digital media portal and content providers, and others. Infrastructure • The majority of regional digital media companies are small service operations (1-3 employees) and freelancers. • General facility/ infrastructure needs are described by flexible /inexpensive buildings and office space with very strong broadband intemet connectivity. Many freelancers operate out of home businesses, often with a network of collaborators /subcontractors to deliver larger client projects. Some categories of digital media, particularly those focusing on communications, will be attracted to and benefit from above-average bandwidth and Internet infrastructure access points as they reduce packet lag and delay. In practice, this probably translates to 1000baseT ethernet connectivity within buildings and an OC3 fiber or greater external (street-to- building) connectivity. The cost and other infrastructure considerations of such increased connectivity are discussed in the "Crosscutting observations" chapter earlier in this document. The most unique requirement of this sector is one of environment and lifestyle. Digital media companies will be attracted to "artist communities" and liberal, avant-garde neighborhoods with trendy restaurants, retail and "raw food" stores as might be found "in L.A." (or Austin, or New York, or San Francisco...). The downtown "Creative Village" concept, if properly fostered, might address this environmental aspect; in the short term the Seminole Way region should not try to duplicate or compete with the Creative Village to establish a centralized "creative neighborhood" environment. Digital Media Recommendations Seminole Community College has recently received funding for an Employ Florida Banner Center focusing on digital media. It will be important to help market and promote this center. Although the Banner Center was established at the SCC Heathrow Center, it may be important to explore how the center's resources can be marketed and extended to the SCC Oviedo and Lake Mary campuses as well. The UCF incubator system can be enhanced and specialized to support small startup digital media companies, including startups and those growing from home-business operations. This will require greater Internet connectivity and perhaps access to more (time and cost) critical technology resources such as audio/visual studios and shared /leased rendering farms. Similar digital media business incubators include the Parco Scientifico Tecnologico Di Venezia (Italy), the Digital Media Center at the Rancho Santiago REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GLATTING JACKSON KERCHER ANGLIN 51 SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Draft Community College District (Santa Ana California), and the Los Angeles Digital Media Campus. The UCF Institute for Simulation and Training will soon announce a new initiative and new resources for research and applications on parallel processing architectures, which may become a resource which could be extended for small digital media companies. Alternately, some digital media companies are beginning to rely upon rendering "utilities" - outsourced rendering farms which charge by the "gigahertz hour" to perform processing- and resource-intensive operations on uploaded data. By making reduced- cost processing resouroes available, digital media companies focused on animation, modeling and simulation may be made more competitive. Eventually, there may be potential to further foster regional innovation in this sector through partnership and access to extreme high bandwidth Internet backbones such as the National LambdaRail or Intemet2 consortia, if access can be extended to small companies for research and development of new products and platforms. This would intersect with UCF's strengths in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and the Center for Research and Education in Optics and Lasers (CREOL). However, the LambdaRail / Intemet2 networks currently only extend to Jacksonville, so this will not be a consideration until it can be extended to Orlando (which is not part of current deployment plans). It will be important to focus on helping to train, strengthen, and build partnerships among the region's home-based digital media companies and freelancers. Freelancers constitute a significant percentage of establishments in this cluster, have the fewest resources available for growth and training, and are at the greatest risk of becoming uncompetitive due to shifting technology platforms and demands. As each freelancer is also an independent entrepreneur, they also constitute a significant pool of potentially new and growing companies if properly fostered. Such resources could include: • Training/ seminars to help professionals remain abreast of latest digital media technologies in design, animation, digital film production, digital audio and video solutions, and digital communications • "Design for non designers" training to help expose technologists to fundamental concepts of art and design • Resources to help link, manage, and promote small companies and freelancers to collaborate and compete on larger projects • Project management, costing, and visualization resources • Directories of local digital media service and product providers • Opportunity identification and creation -promoting local strengths and helping to connect local digital media projects to local providers Digital Media Case Study: Flinch Studios Company Size: 1-2 employees plus freelancer/ contractor network Facility /Infrastructure: Home-based business Description: Animation and creative media REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GLATTING JACKSON KERCHER ANGLIN 52 SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Draft Summary: Founder originally owned a 20+ employee 3500 square foot studio in Los Angeles, but relocated over ten years ago to Florida for family /affordability considerations. Expresses interest in the Creative Village efforts and would be strongly attracted to an environment that captures some of the lifestyle environment and creative energy found in LA. Majority of business and exposure is national /outside of Florida, as are most subcontractors /partners. Cluster: Life Sciences From the cluster analysis, "Life Sciences" can include "Hospitals and Higher Education", "General Health Services", "Pharmaceuticals", and even "Medical Instrumentation Manufacturing". The core life sciences companies in the region are very heterogeneous; there is a wide mix of instrumentation and device manufacturers, medical biotech (stem cells, organics and protein manufacturers), pharmaceuticals manufacturers, green biotech companies (agricultural and biofuel), and other companies. This is not necessarily a shortcoming, but might complicate marketing efforts and is evidence of a relatively early and immature regional life sciences ecosystem. Interviews reveal an anecdotal belief that there are over 2,000 biotech companies in the Metro Orlando region. However, any estimate of biotech / life sciences companies based upon industry codes should be suspect; these industries are poorly categorized by the NAICS system and there are probably less than five dozen true pharma, biotech, and life sciences innovation companies currently operating in the metro Orlando region. Life sciences -particularly pharma and biotech -are probably the most sought-after industry sectors in the U.S., and probably the most intensive in terms of requirements for investment and intellectual capital. A strategy that focuses on this sector should not be adopted without a serious commitment of investment and resources. • Major regional attractors will include the Burnham Institute (to the South, as part of the Innovation Way), the UCF Biomolecular Science Center, 44 regional hospitals, the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center Orlando, and as it grows, the UCF Medical School. Life Sciences Cluster: Infrastructure Requirements Based on interviews, we break down the life sciences industry into four categories: startups, growing concerns, intermediate to mature companies, and research institutions. • Startups are currently well served by the UCF incubator system, but the relative lack of "wet lab" facilities results in a need for most startup life sciences companies to locate as close to UCF as possible to take advantage of university laboratory facilities. Startups are very sensitive to finance and REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GLATTING .IACK$ON KERCHER ANGLIN 53 SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Draft investment issues, but also to the experience and entrepreneurial resources of their founders. Growing concerns -maturing companies, and those that theoretically may "graduate" from the incubators -currently face a dangerous lack of buildings with wet labs, and similarly a lack of local biologicals, proteins, enzymes, and pharmaceuticals manufacturing options. Without local solutions to support research trials and limited run production, local biotech companies may be forced to build partnerships with production companies outside of the state, as was the example with Chlorogen Inc. Unfortunately, in such cases, research and product development is hampered and the likelihood that the company will relocate out of the state is very high. Investment issues, as well as regulatory, quality control, marketing, and management are also key limitations. Intermediate to Mature companies are those with a foundation of financing, independent facilities, and existing product lines currently under or nearing production or license. While more likely to survive, mature companies remain sensitive to investment, research, and regulatory limitations. Landing a portfolio of mature life sciences and biotech companies within the region would be one primary goal of pursuing the life sciences cluster. Research facilities, such as the Burnham Institute and M.D. Anderson, will be the most significant attractors to the region outside of the university and medical school. Their infrastructure needs will revolve around custom facilities with extensive wet labs, instrumentation, and support for relatively larger numbers of research faculty. In contrast, production and manufacturing will be less important considerations. Life sciences companies of all sizes (although to a lesser extent for startups) benefit from strong air transportation resources and specialized training and professional services. Few industries are subjected to higher levels of federal scrutiny; the FDA clinical trial regulatory system significantly multiplies the cost and risk of bringing new life sciences products to market. Further, HIPAA and manufacturing quality requirements also increase security and manufacturing costs for this industry. "Wet labs" differentiate from other laboratory and research facilities in their ability to handle chemical and biological materials. In practice, this signifies • Special water and waste handling systems • Special air treatment, purification, and circulation systems • Special building security, control, and perhaps storage systems • Individual companies will have additional "wet lab" needs that will be differentiated by their specialty (e.g., a stem cell company's need to handle cell cultures may be different than a pharmaceutical manufacturer that specializes in organic chemicals). Aside from wet labs, life sciences companies will benefit from strong broadband and wireless connectivity and a range of standard business /office space leasing options (in terms of cost and amenities). REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GLATTING JACKSON KERCHER ANGLIN 54 SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Draft In general, timing is a significant concern for new /relocating life sciences companies. It is often less expensive and less time consuming to "build into" a shell building than to renovate an existing building to support the wet lab and other needs of a life sciences company. Life Sciences Cluster Recommendations The Seminole Way region can develop a viable life sciences strategy that complements the Lake Nona /Medical City /Innovation Way Corridor. However, it will have to embrace a focused strategy and commit to specialized resources and investment to pursue this cluster. There is a perceived window of opportunity resulting from the combination of the new medical school, the Medical City complex, the Burnham Institute, Scripps, and entrepreneurial /research activity out of UCF that can be capitalized upon if swift and committed steps are taken. 1. Establish a life sciences zone adjacent to the Orlando Seminole International Airport. 2. Establish a Life Sciences director /liaison to interface with airport authorities, economic development organizations, and life sciences companies. 3. Identify local manufacturing solutions. The first step will be to build a comprehensive list of local manufacturers with excess capacity and the ability to support life-sciences related products. Vitamin, hygiene, beauty, healthcare, and similar products manufacturers may be likely candidates, as are packaging manufacturers and other existing life sciences companies. 4. Identify local manufacturing solutions (continued). Eventually, more specialized contract manufacturing solutions for the production of custom enzymes, proteins, and other organics will be important. One strategy could be to attract /support a contract bioreactor operation. An alternate strategy would be one that focuses on green biotech -utilizing transgenic plants (such as tobacco) to produce the target biological. This strategy has the advantage of synergy with recent Florida biofuels initiatives, the expertise of several faculty at UCF, and Florida's climate/environment. The establishment of a new GMP (good manufacturing practice) contract enzyme or production facility can cost $5-10 million or more, so additional conversations will need to be conducted with Florida companies to identify a viable near-term solution. 5. Build an incubator in the airport zone with ashared-use /leased-use wet lab facility. The Medical City /Innovation Way complex currently has no wet lab facilities available to external companies or researchers. A comparable facility might be the New Orleans "BioSpace1" business incubator, which has 60,00 square feet of incubator space and over a half million dollars worth of shared wet laboratory facility for tenants. Other relevant incubators include the TechColumbus incubator, the University of Manchester incubator, the University of Michigan SPARK incubator, Biotechnology Development Center of Greater Kansas City, and others. 6. Build several multi-use "shells" in the airport zone with complete utility hookups. The shells can be used for air hangars and storage, and as demand increases they can be leased to companies to "build in" custom office, lab, production and shipping space. 7. Build one or more greenhouses in the airport zone. It is recommended that this be managed with the participation of Twyford International, a Northwest Orange County greenhouse research facility which is nearing 80-90% capacity. REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GLATTING JACKSON KERCHER ANGLIN 55 SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Draft 8. Zone acreage in the airport zone for green biotech agriculture, specifically larger- scale production of designed proteins and enzymes. Florida has five federal and state funded ethanol fuel refineries that could also provide immediate demand and resources for a dedicated green biotech production operation. Florida has the potential of converting 500 to 900 million gallons of ethanol from agricultural waste and energy crops annually (10% or more of all fuel needs). Although there are other technical and economic hurdles, one of the bottlenecks toward meeting that goal is the availability of cellulose-reducing enzymes. UCF plant-based research has shown the potential to produce tobacco crops that produce 25% or more of their mass in targeted enzymes; by capitalizing on the research of individuals like Dr. Henry Daniell and zoning for transgenic research crops, the Seminole Way could become a focus point for green biotech and biofuel research and industry. Note -the biofuel industry, particularly the sector focusing on enzyme research and production -utilizes most of the same resources as the larger biotech sector, but does not have the same regulatory requirements or costs. 9. Establish a partnership and directory of regional legal, accounting, and regulatory specialists with expertise in clinical trials, human research, FDA regulation, HIPAA regulation, medical manufacturing, and medical intellectual property issues. Through the UCF incubator system, organize a regular schedule of training courses or seminars by these experts to help increase the sophistication and awareness of regional life sciences entrepreneurs. There are no specialized local training resources for this sector, which has greater need than most other sectors. 10. Establish an aggressive economic development marketing and recruiting campaign that promotes the region's resources, demographics, and workforce. Life Sciences Cluster Case Study: TopoGen Inc. Company Size: 5-8 employees Facility /Infrastructure: 1500 square foot/ 2 story Daytona Beach based converted airport hangar Description: Research and diagnostics company focusing on DNA targets, antibodies, enzymes, reagents and kits) Summary: Founder was attracted to the Volusia airport partly due to lifestyle considerations (founder is a pilot) and partially due to transportation considerations. Had originally approached the Orlando-Seminole International Airport but was forced to contract with the Volusia airport instead. Company has its own custom wet labs, water processing, conference and media rooms, production laboratory, dry ice storage and shipping facilities. Company's products are too niche-oriented to require external protein /enzyme manufacturing capacity, but regulariy serves as external sponsor for SBIR / STTR applications with UCF faculty conducting biotech and biomolecular research. Founder is an active entrepreneur with significant experience with other universities and research park efforts. Cluster: Financial Services and Information Services The Financial Services cluster is one of the region's most desirable sectors in terms of growth and wages. From an economic development perspective, it focuses on non-retail and non-depository financial services such as back-office and infrastructure banking operations, insurance carriers, securities and commodities, REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GLATTING JACKSON KERCHER ANGIIN 56 SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Draft and other technology-oriented financial products. The Financial Services cluster shares many characteristics with the Information Services cluster. The major attractors for these clusters will focus on transportation, facilities, and workforce. The Lake Mary /Heathrow region is gaining recognition as a valuable business location for this cluster. Major employers include State Farm (Winter Haven, 800+ employees) and Continental Casualty (Orlando, 800+ employees). For IT, a very major employer includes Lockheed Martin Information Services (Sand HIII Lake Road area). Financial and Information Services Cluster Infrastructure Requirements In practice, financial services share infrastructure needs similar to any technology- intensive business, with the addition of redundant power and communications and access to transportation corridors: • "A" and "B" office and business park space • Strong broadband and wireless telecommunications and stable power infrastructure. Possibly independent power backup systems for larger operations. • Access to skilled IT, professional services employment base • Access to transportation -road corridors for employees, and air transportation for business and client access • Strong security considerations Financial Services and Information Services Clusters: Recommendations Focus on small- to medium-sized nondepository and technology operations, and the establishment, renovation, or promotion of business offices facilities to support them. Larger companies will be attracted to the Lake Mary / Heathrow region, but smaller companies may be more attracted to less expensive and more flexible opportunities in the Seminole Way corridor. Prior research has shown that there is significant long-term value in attracting even small "foothold" operations of national and intemational financial services corporations, which are more likely to expand existing operations than to establish major facilities in regions in which they do not already have an existing presence and management structure. This sector will also benefit from significant resources in high broadband intemet, wireless and telecommunications infrastructure, as both financial services and information technologies industries become increasingly globalized (with internal operations distributed geographically) and provide increasing training, product and service delivery, and client interactivity via the intemet. Expand national and international direct-flight offerings at the Orlando- Seminole International Airport. The airport has the potential to be a significant resource for this sector, but (anecdotally) it is currently limited in direct access flights to key US regions and as such cannot compete for traffic via the Orlando International Airport even though it is significantly farther. It is a chicken-and-egg problem, but the addition of a wider range of national and REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GLATTING JACKSON KERCHER ANGLIN 57 ~_ SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Draft international direct flights will be necessary before this sector embraces the Orlando Seminole International Airport. Financial Services Cluster Case Study: Premiere Trade Inc. Company Size: 30-40 employees Facility /Infrastructure: 15000 square foot standard office facility in Altamonte Springs Description: Company provides market analytical software, training, and education services to support money management and investment activity including stocks, options, and mutual fund investing. Summary: Company was established in central Florida because founder lived in the region and the affordability of central Florida. Current activities are strongly intemet- based, newly focused on business-to-business markets, and telecommunications and transportation considerations are very significant. The company is considering relocating to the Lake Mary area, attracted to the other financial services activity and to provide better on-site access by clients who primarily fly in to Orlando International Airport due to availability of national and international direct flights. Company must support increasing needs for a dedicated and sophisticated broadcast studio, classroom areas, large computer server infrastructure, and stable/ deep power and telecommunications infrastructures. Cluster: Technical and Research Services • Locally, this sector appears to share connections with regional strengths in the Nonresidential Building Products, Architectural and Engineering Services, and possibly Wiring Devices and Switches clusters. While this cluster does frequently include biotech and medical-related laboratories, the majority of establishments usually focus on civil and environmental engineering and design services. As such, most companies in this cluster are focused on serving and supporting local growth and development. This sector is not driven by innovation or technology development despite high wages and high skill requirements and the scientific /engineering / laboratory expertise of most of its companies. Although UCF has a very strong Civil and Environmental Engineering program that attracts many local companies in this cluster, the benefits to the companies revolve mostly around access to students, promoting a specialized workforce, professional development, and company prestige. • Given the focus on supporting local development and construction projects, ongoing collaboration will likely be difficult to foster except around specific issues. The greatest concerns to this sector include workforce /talent and government regulatory barriers regarding bidding, design, and construction. REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., INNOVATION INSIGHT, GLATTING JACKSON KERCHER ANGLIN 58 SeminoleWay Industry and Facility Analysis -Draft Technical and Research Services Cluster: Infrastructure Companies in this cluster require "A" and "B" office facilities with strong Internet and telecommunications support. Technical and research services companies exist at all sizes, from 1-2 employee architectural design and engineering consulting companies to large multi-capacity engineering agencies. • Frequently, companies will build their own environmental and soil testing laboratories, which are easier to incorporate into new /shell buildings than by renovating or refitting existing buildings. Technical and Research Services Cluster: Recommendations • In context of the Governor's focus on "green buildings" and other Florida strengths in solar power and green biotech, one way to promote this sector will be to focus on LEED Green Building certification, Energy Star and Intelligent Building design solutions for local companies. Currently (and anecdotally), few Florida design and engineering firms have LEED certified engineers. New projects that require a "green building" designation require LEED certification, which results in business going out-of- state. Thus, widespread LEED adoption among Orlando-region companies in this cluster will not only increase their competitiveness and reduce reliance on imported services but will also increase the impact of Florida "green" construction projects. • A limited series of LEED certification training programs should be implemented through UCF or SCC. A viable precedent might be the industrial "consortia" approach utilized by the University of South Florida (via the ORBIT organization between 1997-1999) to jointly underwrite costs for multiple companies to achieve IS0900# and Six Sigma certifications. • If the joint LEED certification program is successful, the participants might be leveraged into forming a regional "Green Building /Intelligent Building" network and more permanent training /certification programs via SCC and UCF in the Seminole Way corridor. • While a "Green Building /Intelligent Building" sector strategy will not benefit from economic development recruitment efforts, it may help to promote the region as a desirable location for new industry.

The April 20081ndusfry and Facilities Analysis report and its appendices provide a more expansive presentation of the study's key findings. The Vision for SeminoleWay What Seminole County community and government leaders want are high value investments and high wage jobs in target industries sectors that will provide economic stability and growth for the next twenty years, or more. For many in local leadership roles, the vision is embodied not in the next successful office development or the next industrial park, which are easily predicted and clearly envisioned. Rather, they are wrestling with defining what will be relevant and needed in the county and the region when the next generation of leadership is in control and making decisions about what is best for its community. For many, it is necessary to understand what is emerging or only anticipated at this time. This analysis summarizes emerging economic trends, bringing industry clusters into focus and evaluating their suitability forthe SeminoleWay corridor. The "Vision" held by community stakeholders includes many specific goals and objectives. Based on the results of this analysis to date, "Success" would be defined as: 1. A vision or plan based on realistic economic opportunities forthe Corridor, blending public resources, private business interests and education; 2. Attraction of businesses that add to the County's quality of life through stable investment, high-wage employment, environmentally friendly development, and support forthe existing economic base; 3. Expansion of the County's non-residential ad valorem tax base and other revenue sources; 4. Provision of appropriate land use controls and comprehensive plan policies throughout the Corridorto allow desirable "high value/high wage" (and maybe "high tech") businesses to find a place in the county; 5. Land owners understanding the vision of SeminoleWay and "buying in;" 6. Certainty that infrastructure resources, policies, and incentives are aligned at county and municipal levels to enhance the chances of achieving the economic development vision. I-1 Economic Futures Analysis Seminole County already possesses a significant amount of strategic economic development resources that can be readily applied to facilitate economic development within the SeminoleWay Corridor. The foundation for land use policy incentives has previously been laid with the existing HIP-TI targeted future industries land use category. More challenging is finding and promoting existing property resources that have the attributes required to attract and accommodate targeted industries within the county. Building upon the existing economic and industrial conditions in Seminole County and the greater Orlando MSA, the RERC team has identified four specific economic clusters with the greatest potential of fulfilling the SeminoleWay Corridor vision and fostering real long term economic growth in sustainable high wage, high impact industries. They are: 1. Life sciences including biotech and medical instrumentation 2. Digital media including modeling and simulation, film and broadcasting, themed entertainment and animation/game development 3. Financial services and information services 4. Technical and research services including civil and environmental engineering and so-called "green" architectural and engineering services These four clusters represent the most feasible and attractive future of the SeminoleWay Corridor given the context and identified constraints. Policy decisions concerning each cluster should be evaluated and tailored to exploit the resources identified within this report. Any limitations of or barriers to the successful cultivation of the SeminoleWay targeted industry clusters are likely to be spatially specific in nature. From a global perspective, the SeminoleWay Corridor is already well suited to attract and sustain each of the identified clusters without significant hindrance from transportation infrastructure, environmental constraints, suitable housing, educational resources, or land use and comprehensive planning policies. Accounting for environmental constraints and major accessibility issues, the State Road 417 Corridor between I-4 and the Orange County line contains about 3,300 acres of land that was initially considered suitable for economic development efforts of the SeminoleWay vision. Of these ripe lands, the majority of acreage can be classified as underutilized rather than vacant. Approximately 500 acres within the two mile corridor and nearly 900 acres located within the Sanford Orlando Airport and HIP areas are functionally vacant. These constraints suggest that targeted industries and development within the corridor will necessarily be focused toward smaller individual developments and businesses that may not require a large tightly clustered campus and the associated large tracts of raw undeveloped land. To serve the most obvious target industries and businesses, large-scale land assemblage is probably not necessary. I-2 The suitable land within SeminoleWay is, however, clustered around readily accessible SR 417 interchanges. SR 417 itself provides ready and efficient access to both interstate 4, Sanford Orlando International Airport and Orlando International Airport. The future land use policies of Seminole County and the SeminoleWay partner municipalities currently governing the available lands around the SR 417 interchanges support the SeminoleWay vision and may require only minor adjustment on a spatially specific basis to fully accommodate the specific SeminoleWay targeted industries. The following Phase 2 report further examines suitable property resources at each of the eight SR 417 interchanges and presents specific parcels that appear ready and able to accommodate targeted industry development. State Road 417 -SeminoleWay Interchanges I-3 • ~ Phase 2 Report -December 2008 PART A: Target Industry Facility and Infrastructure Requirements Introduction As part of the Phase 2 effort regarding the SeminoleWay corridor economic development analysis, RERC has researched the character of locations and physical facilities required to accommodate the specific target industries identified in the Phase 1 analysis. For the most part, these facility and site requirements are consistent with the suburban office and light industrial character found within Seminole County and the municipalities located along the State Road 417 corridor and proximate to its interchanges. In the following pages, each target industry and its facility requirements are briefly summarized. 1. Life Sciences The Life Sciences industry can be subdivided into four categories: Discovery, Education, Treatment and Commerce. • The Discovery sub sector includes life science operations and facilities that are dedicated toward life sciences research and design. This sub sector is typically dominated by large institutional users such as Nemours, Scripps and Torrey Pines. Many research facilities are directly associated with large universities, medical and pharmacy schools. Research Institution facilities include academic research labs, vivariums, healthcare labs, and health science teaching labs. While the research laboratory facilities of larger facilities can exceed 200,000 square feet, the Discovery category also includes smaller companies that may require significantly less (2,000 - 50,000 square feet) independent laboratory space as well as start ups and emerging companies that benefit from the presence of shared, potentially subsidized wet lab space. • There is a significant amount of overlap between the Discovery and Education life science sub sectors. Many research facilities and laboratories are partnerships between private institutions and public university systems. Education sector facilities include teaching labs at medical schools, nursing schools and community colleges and vary in size and complexity based upon the educational focus. For instance, the requirements of a nursing teaching laboratory will differ dramatically from an academic pharmaceutical research facility. Health science teaching labs may focus on a diverse range of educational activity including: o Anatomy o Chemistry o Engineering A-1 o Nuclear medicine o Magnetic resonance o Nursing o Dental o Occupational therapy • The Treatment life sciences category includes a wide breadth of medical activity including hospitals, outpatient facilities, surgical centers, doctor's offices, testing laboratories and diagnostic laboratories. Facilities requirements vary with doctor's offices and smaller surgical centers conforming to typical medical office configurations and testing laboratories and clinical diagnostic labs requiring potentially sophisticated wet lab space. • The Commerce category within the Life Sciences industry includes the developers and manufactures of devices and technology supportive of research and medicine. Companies may include medical device manufacturers, optics manufacturers or simulation labs. Laboratory requirements may be less oriented towards wet labs and biological research and focus more on clean design laboratories. Optics companies in particular may require "clean room" research, development and assembly space. Laboratory Space Each of the four identified Life Sciences categories potentially require some form of associated laboratory space. Wet lab space is most highly required by the Discovery sector's research laboratory facilities, either in the form of large institutional facilities or smaller shared space. Wet lab space may also be required in the Education and Treatment sectors for health science, diagnostic and testing laboratories. • Common wet lab uses include academic research labs, vivariums, health care labs, health sciences teaching labs and pharmacology labs. "Wet labs" differentiate from other laboratory and research facilities in their ability to handle chemical and biological materials. In practice, this signifies o Special water and waste handling systems o Special air treatment, purification, and circulation systems including constant and reliable HVAC, dust control, gas/utility services and fume hoods o Special building security, control, and storage systems 0 24 hour access 0 14'to 18' floortofloor heights 0 20' to 30' column spacing o Vibration minimizing floors capable of handling 125-150 Ibs per square foot o Fail safe uninterruptible electrical and power systems o Individual companies will have additional "wet lab" needs that will be differentiated by their specialty (e.g., a stem cell company's need to handle cell cultures may be different than a pharmaceutical manufacturer that specializes in organic chemicals). A-2 • Wet labs are most often configured in open module arrangements. Atypical module could be 12' wide by 24' long, allowing two joined modules to fit within a 24' by 31' column bay. Open module lab arrangements with back to back benches allow single lab facilities to accommodate multiple users, departments, or companies and allow greater flexibility for the reorganization of private or semi-private lab space within multi-tenant facilities. • Wet labs can be constructed build-to-suit or can be converted from class A office or flex space provided certain space requirements are met. • Typical wet-lab space costs $450-$500 build to suit. Space can be built more economically if office or flex space can be reused. Most often, a top floor space with 14' to 18' ceilings is desired to accommodate necessary HVAC, water treatment and air treatment demands. 20 - 30 foot column spacing is desirable to incorporate modular lab design. Land Use and Environmental • The facilities required for small to mid-sized pharmaceutical companies, research laboratories, optics, simulation and robotics companies and life sciences incubator installations can be readily accommodated within a variety of the existing zoning and future land use categories within Seminole County and the associated municipalities. Future land use categories including office, commercial, HIP-TI, HIP-Air, Industrial and WIC are all potentially conducive to targeted life sciences development. • Life sciences companies of all sizes (although to a lesser extent for startups) benefit from strong air transportation resources and specialized training and professional services. Few industries are subjected to higher levels of federal scrutiny; the FDA clinical trial regulatory system significantly multiplies the cost and risk of bringing new life sciences products to market. Further, HIPAA and manufacturing quality requirements also increase security and manufacturing costs for this industry. • Life sciences companies, particularly emerging entities, may prefer to physically position their facilities proximate to existing research and university facilities such as UCF. 1 Life sciences companies will benefit from strong broadband and wireless connectivity and a range of standard business /office space leasing options (in terms of cost and amenities). • Life Sciences industry development will benefit from Seminole County's inventory of attractive and high-value single- and multi- family housing. • Cash incentives are potentially required to attract life sciences companies, given the current market for their business, the ability to potentially locate anywhere and the willingness of other domestic and international markets to provide capital and cash incentives. A-3 2. Digital Arts and Media Within Central Florida, Digital Arts and Media can be subdivided into four major categories: Modeling, simulation and training (MS&T), Film and television production, Theme park/ride and show and Interactive and immersive entertainment. While the focus of enterprise in each of these categories is unique, they share nearly identical infrastructure and facility requirements. Digital Media companies can readily locate into existing Class A or B office space or appropriate flex space provided that the facility can be serviced by high bandwidth broadband telecommunications infrastructure. From a land use perspective, office, commercial, HIP-TI, and to a lesser extent HIP-AP and Industrial, future land use zonings can accommodate any of the structures necessary for Digital Arts and Media development. • General facility and infrastructure needs are described by flexible /inexpensive buildings and office space with very strong broadband internet connectivity. Many freelancers operate out of home businesses, often with a network of collaborators /subcontractors to deliver larger client projects. • Some categories of digital media, particularly those focusing on communications, will be attracted to and benefit from above-average bandwidth and internet infrastructure access points as they reduce packet lag and delay. In practice, this probably translates to 1000baseT ethernet connectivity within buildings and an OC3 fiber or greater external (street-to-building) connectivity. • The internal "components" of Digital Media companies, such as sound stages and post production houses, can easily be incorporated into general office and flex space facilities. • The most unique requirement of this sector is one of environment and lifestyle. Digital media companies will be attracted to "artist communities" and liberal, avant-garde neighborhoods with trendy restaurants, retail and "raw food" stores as might be found "in L.A." (or Austin, or New York, or San Francisco...}. The downtown "Creative Village" concept, if properly fostered, might address this environmental aspect; in the short term the Seminole Way region should not try to duplicate or compete with the Creative Village to establish a centralized "creative neighborhood" environment. However, an emerging digital arts and media cluster could potentially benefit from close proximity to the University of Central Florida and the National Centerfor Simulation. • The digital arts and media cluster does not require significant infrastructure or site improvements with the exception of strong broadband connectivity. Lifestyle changes are less on-site and more local and many employees work virtually from a home office. A-4 3. Financial and Professional Services 4. Research and Technical Services The financial services and the research and technical services cluster share the same basic facility and infrastructure requirements. • In practice, financial services and research and technical services share infrastructure needs similar to any technology-intensive business, with the addition of redundant power and communications and access to transportation corridors: o "A" and "B" office and business park space o Strong broadband and wireless telecommunications and stable power infrastructure. Possibly independent power backup systems for larger operations. o Access to skilled IT, professional services employment base o Access to transportation -road corridors for employees, and air transportation for business and client access o Strong security considerations • Financial services and research and technical services can be accommodated by fairly generic future land use categories such as office and commercial and by Seminole County's HIP-TI future land use designation. Additionally, financial, research and technical support services that do not require "store front" or roadway exposure can adequately locate within class A and B office space or flex space interspersed among other forms of development. ,~.~~~~ ~~ r ,~~~~ ~5 .S '~' . A-5 Seminole County Office Space Concentrations - 2007 Summary of Facility and Infrastructure Requirements, SeminoleWay 1. Life Sciences Discoverysub-sector: oriented toward research and design; research labs; healthcare labs; vivariums; pharmacology; wet labs; institutional companies. These enterprises use laboratories, industrial/flex-space buildings, and conventional office space. Education sub-sector: oriented largely to teaching, including medical schools, nursing schools, and teaching laboratories. These institutions utilize laboratories, classrooms, and office space. Treatment sub-sector: oriented toward hospitals, clinics, outpatient facilities, doctors' offices, surgical centers, and diagnostic laboratories. These enterprises utilize medical office space and laboratories. Commerce sub-sector: includes developers and manufacturers of devices and technology supporting life sciences technology. These enterprises utilize various kinds of laboratories and special-purpose industrial space. Life sciences companies may prefer to physically position their facilities proximate to existing research and university facilities. Life sciences companies will benefit from strong broadband and wireless connectivity and a range of standard business 1 office space leasing options. 2.

The following map illustrates the vacant and underutilized parcels within SeminoleWay by interchange as identified in the Phase 1 analysis. For the purpose of determining the suitability of each interchange to accommodate development associated with the four identified targeted industries, RERC obtained complete lists of the vacant and underutilized parcels at the individual interchange areas. As a preliminary measure, the parcel lists were scrubbed to remove any substantially un- developable parcels such as rights of way, storm water retention areas, etc. Each parcel was then scored by awarding one point for each of the following criteria: • The size of the parcel is greater than 2.0 acres • The parcel was vacant or substantially underutilized • The parcel is easily accessible from the appropriate interchange • The existing zoning permits the allowable building types necessary for development with one of the four targeted industries • The future land use designation of the parcel permits the allowable building types necessary for development within one of the four targeted industries • The parcel possesses the ability to be aggregated with an adjacent vacant/underutilized parcel After scoring, the reduced lists of parcels were mapped in order to further identify possible constraints or comparative advantages for development. Utilizing the initially scored parcel lists and maps, RERC completed extensive field work at each of the interchange areas to reinforce and confirm the property analysis and to assess the accessibility and visibility of high-scoring parcels. Factoring in information obtained through the field analysis, RERC further refined the suitability scores for each vacant/underutilized parcel at each interchange and categorized each parcel into one of two tiers. Tier One parcels are typically vacant, largerthan two acres, directly accessible from major roadways, visible from business arterials, and located in typical commercial or business environments. Tier Two parcels possess many of the attributes of Tier One parcels but might potentially lack some of the favorable qualities associated with Tier One properties or may require assemblage and/or land use changes to accommodate target industry facilities. B-1 SeminoleWay Interchanges and Potential Development Parcels -Phase 1 Analysis B-2 Final Property Inventory The following summaries present the key parcels within each interchange and the findings and recommendations regarding the suitability of each interchange for the targeted industries. This analysis provides an initial level of "due diligence" regarding potentially usable properties. Because of the ever-changing nature of real estate markets, property transactions, and efforts by land owners to develop, market, or entitle their properties, this initial survey cannot be guaranteed to be fully accurate or to remain static for more than a year, or so. Continual monitoring and updates of key data for suitable properties is recommended. Because of the limited and dispersed number of suitable properties around the developed SR 417 interchanges, RERC added the corridor along the Lake Mary Boulevard extension south and east of the Orlando-Sanford International Airport to the inventory of available properties; this substantially increases attractive land resources. In total, this study has identified approximately 365 parcels and 2,320 acres of vacant or substantially underutilized property generally located within one mile of a major interchange on SR 417, having access and utilities, and properly planned for uses which can accommodate the facilities required for the four major target industries identified in the Phase 1 SeminoleWay report. However, it should be noted that about 60% of the available and suitable property is located along the Lake Mary Boulevard extension near Orlando Sanford International Airport. As much as 15 to 20 million square feet of new office, light industrial, or commercial buildings, mixed-use, or higher intensity residential projects could be accommodated on these properties within the SeminoleWay corridor.

State Road 46 -Rinehart Road Summary Observations: a) The study area centered around Rinehart Road and State Road 46, including portions of the I-4 HIP-TI (Higher Intensity Planned Development-Target Industry) area, is one of the most productive areas for future economic development, potentially including all of the target industry groups -but most notably financial and professional services, technical and research services, and digital media enterprises. b) Almost all of the identified properties are designated for higher intensity office, commercial, or industrial land uses, according to the future land use plans of Seminole County and the City of Sanford. c) Within this district, RERC and Glatting Jackson have identified 52 suitable properties totaling about 275 acres. d) Because of the district's proximity to Heathrow, Colonial Town Park, and Towne Center Mall, it is highly probable that many financial and professional services businesses will expand here, in addition to conventional retail and commercial activities. e) While properties are numerous, many are relatively small. Only a handful of available properties are larger than ten acres without assemblage. f) This is an established and highly developed area. There will be strong and diverse pressures for conventional developments. To encourage digital media or life sciences to develop within this district, a sophisticated and aggressive program of incentives or other intervention may be required.

Sanford HIP Area Summary Observations: a) The study area located north of State Road 46 and east of Monroe Road, including portions of the Sanford HIP-TI (Higher Intensity Planned Development-Target Industry) area, is another one of the most productive areas forfuture economic development, potentially including all of the target industry groups -but most notably life sciences support services, technical and research services, and digital media enterprises. b) Almost all of the identified properties are designated for higher intensity office, commercial, or industrial land uses, according to the future land use plans of Seminole County and the City of Sanford. Within this district, RERC and Glatting Jackson have identified 48 suitable properties totaling about 358 acres. c) Because of the district's access to I-4, SR 417, rail service, and Towne Center Mall and its predominantly industrial character, it is highly probable that many technical and research services businesses could locate here, in addition to conventional light industrial and commercial activities. d) While properties are numerous and relatively small, there are some larger parcels and the average parcel size is significant, allowing larger scale development. Many parcels are contiguous, which may allow for assemblage if desirable. e) This is an established and highly developed area. There will be strong and diverse pressures for conventional developments. To encourage digital media or life sciences to develop within this district, a sophisticated and aggressive program of incentives or other intervention may be required. f) This is the only district studied which will accommodate a regional commuter rail station, which will provide unique access to downtown Orlando and other key employment centers and neighborhoods throughout the metropolitan area.

County Road 46-A - 25t" Street Summary Observations: a) The study area centered on 25t" Street/H.E. Thomas Jr. Parkway (aka County Road 46-A) includes portions of Sanford, Lake Mary, and unincorporated Seminole County. This is probably the least productive area for future economic development, primarily because the land resources are largely built out at this time. b) Within this district, RERC and Glatting Jackson have identified only three suitable properties totaling about 17.5 acres. c) The identified properties are designated for higher density residential, commercial, or low density residential land uses, according to the future land use plans of Seminole County and the City of Sanford. d) Despite the district's access to SR 417, its predominantly residential character makes it highly unlikely that anything but limited professional services or technical and research services businesses could locate here. e) While properties are limited in number, the average parcel size is significant, allowing larger scale development. Two parcels are contiguous, which may allow for assemblage if desirable. f) This is an established and highly developed area. There will be strong and diverse pressures for conventional developments. To encourage digital media or life sciences to develop within this district, a sophisticated and aggressive program of incentives or other intervention may be required.

US Highway 17-92 Summary Observations: a) The study area centered around the intersection of SR 417, SR 472, Lake Mary Boulevard, and US Highway 17-92 includes portions of the City of Sanford and unincorporated Seminole County. Like the CR 46-A area, this is another one of the least productive areas forfuture economic development due primarily to a shortage of available vacant properties. A good portion of the immediate interchange area is within Seminole County's Community Redevelopment Area (CRA), which is designated for significant redevelopment overthe next 10 to 20 years. This linear redevelopment area could potentially include most of the target industry groups -but most notably business and professional support services, technical and research services, and digital media enterprises. b) Almost all of the identified properties are designated for office, commercial, or industrial land uses, according to the future land use plans of Seminole County and the City of Sanford. c) Within this district, RERC and Glatting Jackson have identified 10 suitable properties totaling about 65 acres. With substantial redevelopment, acres of additional land might be made available, but at a substantial cost. d) Identified properties are limited in number and geographically dispersed. In most cases, access to the US 17-92 interchange is not direct. e) This is an established and highly developed area. There will be strong and diverse pressures for conventional developments. To encourage digital media or life sciences to develop within this district, a sophisticated and aggressive program of incentives or other intervention may be required. For a significant scale of professional or other business services to occur, redevelopment will be required.

State Road 434 -Winter Springs Boulevard Summary Observations: a) This study area located along SR 434 (aka Winter Springs Boulevard), including properties within the municipal limits of Winter Springs and Oviedo, is another one of the more productive areas for future high-tech economic development, potentially including all of the target industry groups -but most notably life sciences support services, technical and research services, and digital media enterprises. b) Most of the identified properties are designated for higher intensity office, commercial, orinterchange-related land uses, according to the future land use plans of the City of Winter Springs and the City of Oviedo. c) Within this district, RERC and Glatting Jackson have identified 10 potentially suitable properties totaling about 47 acres. Assuming some rezoning or land use changes, there might be significant attractive tracts that could also be considered over the longer term. d) Because of the district's access to SR 417, proximity to UCF, and its predominantly commercial character, it is highly probable that many technical and research services businesses and life sciences activities could locate here, in addition to conventional office and commercial activities. One high- tech incubator is already in operation in this district. e) While properties are limited in number, there are some larger parcels and the average parcel size is significant, allowing larger scale development. Some parcels are contiguous, which may allow for assemblage if desirable. f) This is an established and highly desirable area, and some relevant development has already begun. There will be strong and diverse pressures for conventional developments. To encourage digital media or life sciences to develop within this district, a sophisticated and aggressive program of incentives or other intervention may be required. Conventional business services and technical research activities might already find the area attractive.

Red Bug Lake Road Summary Observations: a) This study area located along Red Bug Lake Road and SR 426, including properties within the municipal limits of Oviedo, is one of the more productive and intriguing areas forfuture high-tech economic development, potentially including all of the target industry groups -but most notably life sciences support services, technical and research services, and digital media enterprises. b) Most of the identified properties are designated for professional office and commercial land uses, according to the future land use plans of the City of Oviedo. Oviedo has designated this as a "Gateway District" for economic development purposes. c) Within this district, RERC and Glatting Jackson have identified 13 potentially suitable properties totaling about 68 acres. Assuming some rezoning or land use changes, there might be significant attractive tracts that could also be considered over the longerterm for higher intensity development. As well, there are under-utilized parcels and buildings associated with Oviedo Marketplace Mall that could offer long-term adaptive re-use potential. There are some larger parcels and the average parcel size is significant, allowing larger scale development. Some parcels are contiguous, which may allow for assemblage if desirable. d) Because of the district's access to SR 417, proximity to UCF, and its predominantly commercial character, it is highly probable that many technical and research services businesses and life sciences activities could locate here, in addition to conventional office and commercial activities. e) This is an established and highly desirable area and there will be strong and diverse pressures for conventional developments.

State Road 426 -Aloma Boulevard Summary Observations: a) The study area centered on State Road 426 (aka Aloma Boulevard) is a moderately productive area for future economic development, potentially including all of the target industry groups -but most notably life sciences support services, technical and research services, and business services. b) Almost all of the identified properties are designated for higher intensity office, commercial, or residential land uses, according to the future land use plans of Seminole County. c) Within this district, RERC and Glatting Jackson have identified 10 suitable properties totaling about 35 acres. d) Because of the properties' convenient access to SR 417 and UCF, it is highly probable that many technical and research services businesses could locate here, in addition to conventional office and limited commercial activities. e) While properties are limited in number and relatively small, there are some larger parcels allowing larger scale development. Some parcels are contiguous, which may allow for assemblage if desirable. f) This is an established and highly developed area. There will be strong and diverse pressures for conventional developments. To encourage digital media or life sciences to develop within this district, a sophisticated and aggressive program of incentives or other intervention may be required.

Lake Mary Boulevard Extension Summary Observations: a) The study area located along the Lake Mary Boulevard extension from SR 427 northeast to the St. John's River, including portions of the City of Sanford and unincorporated Seminole County, was added to the SeminoleWay corridor because it is the largest and most productive of the areas for future economic development, potentially including the target industry groups of life sciences support services, technical and research services, and digital media enterprises. b) The identified properties are designated for a variety of higher intensity office, commercial, or industrial land uses, according to the future land use plans of Seminole County and the City of Sanford. Much of the acreage is designated as "airport support activities." c) Within this district, RERC and Glatting Jackson have identified 219 potentially suitable properties totaling about 1,450 acres, most of which is effectively vacant. d) Because of the district's access to SR 417, SR 46, and rail service, and its predominantly undeveloped industrial character, it is highly probable that many technical and research services businesses and life sciences support enterprises could locate here, in addition to conventional light industrial and commercial activities. e) While properties are numerous and relatively small, there are some larger parcels, allowing larger scale development. Many parcels are contiguous, which may allow for assemblage into large development tracts, if desirable. f) This is a new and largely undeveloped area. There will be emerging and diverse pressures for conventional developments. To encourage digital media or life sciences to develop within this district, a sophisticated and aggressive program of incentives or other intervention may be required. Land availability at lower costs may be the most effective marketing asset in the near term.

From this point, it should be possible to structure an economic development strategy for advancing the SeminoleWay plan with policy-makers, land owners, developers, target industry representatives, and other stakeholders. While a solid and practical foundation of useful information has been compiled, there remains much to be done to complete and monitor a definitive plan of action for achieving the goals set forth at the beginning of this analysis: • A plan based on realistic economic opportunities for the Corridor, blending public resources, private business interests and education; • Attraction of businesses that add to the County's quality of life through stable investment, high-wage employment, environmentally friendly development, and support forthe existing economic base; • Expansion of the County's non-residential ad valorem tax base and other revenue sources; • Provision of appropriate land use controls and comprehensive plan policies throughout the Corridor to allow desirable "high value/high wage" businesses to find a place in the county; • Land owners understanding the vision of SeminoleWay and "buying in;" • Certainty that infrastructure resources, policies, and incentives are aligned at county and municipal levels to enhance the chances of achieving the economic development vision. A plan without an "agenda for action" will remain simply interesting reading material and forever unrealized. In order to become manifest, a plan must supplement knowledge with directed actions that bring about "implementation." The SeminoleWay initiative is intended to be a long term effort to capitalize on apparent opportunities with forethought and strategic actions. In the following pages, RERC outlines a general "road map" of critical steps for moving forward and describes the "tool kit" of incentives which might be employed to attract and retain the target industries already identified as crucial to the county's economic future. C-1 SeminoleWay "Critical Path" to Implementation Moving forward from the completion of this Phase 2 analysis includes the most immediate next steps of achieving "buy-in" from political leadership and other stakeholders within the county and the partner municipalities; preparing and promoting information packages that demonstrate the dynamic elements and opportunities within the SeminoleWay corridor; and initiating conversations with potential businesses and developers about specific projects within the corridor. The outlook for successful implementation of the ideas already generated by this study as well as county staff and other stakeholders is certainly long term, but RERC suggests the following activities over the next 12 to 24 months to keep momentum in the planning concepts moving forward: C-2 1. Review the findings and recommendations of Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the analysis with the chamber's overview committee and the county's Board of Commissioners. 2. Review the findings and recommendations of the study with leadership of the three partner municipalities to insure open lines of communication and sharing of ideas. 3. Present the findings and recommendations with primary stakeholders within the SeminoleWay corridor, including at least potentially affected landowners and major businesses. 4. Make the findings and recommendations of the study available to the interested public by placing key findings or links on the county's web site. 5. Identify "target" industries and businesses within Seminole County (and elsewhere) that might have an interest in the findings of the studies and solicit their interest and feedback. 6. Share information regarding the availability and suitability of properties with targeted businesses and appropriate real estate developers who can provide the necessary facilities for targeted businesses. 7. Prepare concise marketing packages for use in soliciting or following up on investor interest within the SeminoleWay corridor. 8. Prepare proposals for significant land owners in the corridor that outline potential development concepts as well as county/city commitments (e.g., planning, financial, marketing) to further the vision and objectives of the SeminoleWay plan. 9. Set up a property monitoring system within the interchange focus areas to keep track of existing or new properties that are available and suitable for target industry development. 10. Follow up on specific economic development project opportunities identified in this study or through stakeholder reviews (e.g., commuter rail station areas, adaptive reuse of under-utilized properties and/or buildings, development in the airport influence zones, incubator projects, etc.). It is important to reiterate that most next steps associated with implementing the SeminoleWay Plan revolve around communication. More specifically, the challenge is to communicate the opportunities associated with the SeminoleWay corridor to all stakeholders. An inherent strength of the SeminoleWay Plan is that no concerted capital investment plan is needed to realize the vision, however, the ability to efficiently communicate and stickto the vision over the long term will be essential. C-3 Economic Development "Tool Kit" In the SeminoleWay Phase 1 report there is a brief summary of economic development resources supporting development within the SR 417 corridor, including public infrastructure, education, financial, and regulatory resources. Generally speaking, the infrastructure, education, and regulatory resources are major positive forces that are consistent with the findings of the target industry analysis and related facility requirements. In the following pages, RERC has briefly summarized and expanded list of state and local financial incentives, along with employee training programs and expedited permitting and project review procedures that are important to potential businesses and developers of high value, high wage industries in Seminole County. Qualified Target Industry Tax Refund The Qualified Target Industry (QTI) Tax Refund is a tool available to Florida communities to encourage quality job growth in targeted high value-added businesses. Pre-approved applicants who create jobs paying an average annual salary 115% of the county's average wage* may receive tax refunds of $3,000 per new job created. (Companies paying an average annual wage exceeding the area's average by 150 percent are eligible for $4,000 per job and if the average annual wage is in excess of 200 percent, $5,000 per new job created.) New or expanding businesses in selected targeted industries creating a minimum of 10 new jobs are eligible. The incentive must be proven a necessity for the company to locate or expand in Florida and there must be local support. Quick Response Training The Quick Response Training Program (QRT) provides grant funding for customized training to new or expanding businesses. Criteria to qualify is the same as QTI. Training can be provided by quality institutions such as universities, community colleges and technical centers or the company's own staff. Grants normally range from $600-$1,000 per new employee trained. Incumbent Worker Training The Incumbent Worker Training Program (IWT) provides grant funding for training. Florida businesses (excludes non-profits) needing to upgrade the skills of their existing full-time employees are eligible. Grants typically average $100- $400 per employee trained. Economic Development Transportation Fund (EDTF or Road Fund) The "road fund" is administered by the state in cooperation with an appropriate local government jurisdiction. Depending on the number of jobs being created, the grant program provides up to $2,000,000 for the construction or improvement of transportation infrastructure including roads, runways and traffic signals. Industrial Revenue Bonds/Industrial Development Bonds Industrial revenue bonds (IRBs) can be issued for the purpose of financing the costs of projects, which may include purchase of an existing industrial or manufacturing plant, construction of a new facility and/or purchases of new equipment. The minimum recommended amount for an IRB is $1.25 million and C-4 cannot exceed $10 million in most cases. The bonds can be issued for longer terms and at lower interest rates, usually 1% below prime, and are tax exempt. Enterprise Bonds This tax exempt financing program is managed by an independent corporation that provides tax-exempt funds to small manufacturers for the purchase of land, buildings and capital equipment. Loans between $500,000 and $2.0 million are available. Borrowers are placed in a larger pooled bond issue that is then sold by the corporation. The pooling of loans helps defray the cost of issuance which might otherwise make it the process uneconomical. Sales Tax Exemptions: Electricity & Steam -Exemptions from sales tax may include charges for electricity or steam used directly and exclusively at a fixed location to operate machinery and equipment used to manufacture (process, compound, or produce) items of tangible personal property for sale.

Incubation systems offer subsidized facilities space, management, contacts, business development services and other support services intended to assist local economic development efforts and foster the commercialization of academic and creative research. Beginning in 1999, the University of Central Florida has partnered with local communities, the Florida High Tech Corridor Council and the United States Department of Commerce's Economic Development Administration to create the UCF business and technology incubation system. The UCF incubation system directly administers five incubators over six facilities throughout Central Florida. In addition, The Seminole Business Technology Incubation Center in Sanford possesses UCF affiliation. The mission of the UCF incubation system is to "provide early stage companies with the enabling tools, training and infrastructure to create financially stable high growth enterprises." As of late 2007, the UCF incubation system has serviced and housed approximately 90 emerging companies, including approximately 50 current clients. To date, nearly 30 companies have successfully graduated the incubation program. According the National Business Incubation Association (NBIA), companies that participate in a university sponsored incubation program enjoy a graduation rate of approximately 70 to 80 percent, and 87 percent of all businesses that successfully complete the incubation program are still in business five years after graduation. UCF reports that its incubators graduates have created over 900 new jobs boasting more than 200 million in annual revenues. NBIA research has shown that for every two jobs directly created in an incubator an additional job is indirectly created within the community. Furthermore, approximately 85 percent of the successful incubator graduates choose to locate their company within the local community after graduation. Fiscally, incubators also represent sound community investment. The NBIA estimates that for every $1 of public operating subsidy provided by local communities, clients and graduates of incubator programs contribute approximately $30 in total local tax revenue. The UCF incubation system's facilities total more than 80,000 square feet of space throughout Central Florida. The following map illustrates their location.
