The Daytona Beach News-Journal published an article highlighting the "Live Local Act," which Gunster Government Affairs Consultant Trey Price discussed with the Volusia County Tiger Bay Club last month.
The Act, which took effect on July 1, supports affordable housing policies in Florida.
"Many Florida jobs are tied to agriculture and tourism, and the pay in those industries is low for most employees. Those low-wage jobs, coupled with Florida's population growth, have helped create a dearth of affordable housing ... That's the purpose of the Live Local Act, to help employees live near their place of work," Price observes.
