In Billboard, Florida Chamber Lauds NYC Mayor's 'Boost' to Florida Economy

The chamber said Florida has gained 551 people a day and used the billboard to court New York residents and businesses.

  • In the center of Times Square, a digital billboard erected by the Florida Chamber of Commerce proclaims Mayor Zohran Mamdani as "Economic Developer of the Year" with the message: "Thanks for the jobs!"
  • The Florida Chamber campaign aims to attract New Yorkers to Florida amid rising taxes and living costs, with CEO Mark Wilson telling Fox News Digital, "We wanted to thank him for the jobs, the companies, the people that they're pushing out of New York."
  • According to the Florida Chamber, economic indicators show Florida net migration of 551 people per day compared to New York's loss of 115, while New York's state budget is more than double Florida's.
  • Mayor Mamdani has faced ongoing tensions with private sector titans, including Citadel's Ken Griffin, who relocated his headquarters from Chicago to Miami and feuded with the mayor over proposed taxes on part-time luxury residences in Manhattan.
  • John Boyd of The Boyd Company Inc., which counsels firms on relocations, told the South Florida Sun Sentinel that inquiries about South Florida remain brisk as companies seek to expand into the Sunshine State.
