Disney reaches deal with desantis, with a win-win

[butters]

couldn't bring up the old thread, so dropping this here:

As part of the 15-year deal, Disney agreed to invest $17 billion into Disney World over the next two decades and the district committed to making infrastructure improvement on the theme park resort's property. The district provides municipal services such as firefighting, planning and mosquito control, among other things, and was controlled by Disney supporters before last year's takeover by the DeSantis appointees.

Disney invests in Florida, the desantis-run district will have to pay for the services it provided before when Disney ran it.

also:

Under the terms of the deal, Disney is approved to build a fifth major theme park at Disney World and two more minor parks, such as water parks, if it desires. The company can also raise the number of hotel rooms on its property from almost 40,000 rooms to more than 53,000 rooms and increase the amount of retail and restaurant space by more than 20%. Disney will retain control of building heights so it can maintain an immersive environment.

In exchange, Disney will donate up to 100 acres (40 hectares) of Disney World’s 24,000 acres (9,700 hectares) for the construction of infrastructure projects controlled by the district. The company also will need to award at least half of its construction projects to companies based in Florida and spend at least $10 million on affordable housing for central Florida.

the benefits for Floridians come in the form of new jobs and additional employment in the construction industry plus the theme resorts' staffing; 100 acres really isn't that large of an amount, and $10M towards 'affordable' housing is really just a drop in the ocean given property costs there today.
where the money will come from for the desantis-run district to pay for all those services normally provided by Disney itself is another matter, but all-in-all it looks as if Disney and the Floridian job-market are the real winners here.

Sounds like Disney won. They invest in their own company and DeSatan has to come out the pocket.
