VT MAE By Hana Frenette

GROWING THE ECONOMIC LANDSCAPE OF PENSACOLA The Pensacola International Airport and the City of Pensacola are making strides in their quest to expand and diversify Pensacola’s growing economic landscape. After years of strategic planning and negotiating, the airport and the city solidified a long-sought after lease agreement with the Mobile-based company VT Mobile Aerospace Engineering (VT MAE) to construct a major aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul facility on airport property–a project expected to bring more than 400 aerospace industry jobs to Pensacola when the facility begins operations in 2018. City officials and economic experts are hopeful the $46 million aircraft maintenance facility will serve as a steppingstone in the development of an aerospace industry in Pensacola.

VT MAE’s History

VT MAE opened its doors in Mobile’s Brookley Aeroplex in 1991 with 50 employees and one airplane hanger offering services to both commercial airlines and airfreight operators. By the end of their first year, VT MAE added a second hangar and launched their Boeing 727 passenger-tofreighter (PTF) conversion program. Just two years later, the company expanded with the addition of four more hangars. Today, VT MAE is capable of accommodating eight wide-body and 10 narrow-body aircraft simultaneously within their 10 hangars, which occupy more than 900,000 square feet. Each hangar has direct access to the Mobile downtown airport’s 9,600– foot, 24/7 operational runway. They’ve also developed additional buildings onsite to house training materials, warehouse operations and an environmentally controlled engine storage facility. VT MAE’s employees, facilities and procedures consistently meets and exceeds extremely stringent airworthiness requirements and are fully certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) as an approved repair station. The repair station has been operational in Mobile for 25 years and now employs 1,000 individuals locally; their annual employee payroll reached $80 million in 2010 and totals more than $1 billion since opening the door in 1991.

Bill Hafner, president of VT MAE and chief operating officer said when VT MAE made the decision to further expand within the region and began their search for a new satellite facility location, Pensacola quickly became a contending city – both for its proximity to Mobile and the interest expressed by local residents. “The city of Pensacola, the airport, and the residents have been so receptive and so supportive of the project,” Bill Hafner said. “We looked all over Mississippi, central and northern Alabama and western Florida– but the workforce is there, and the interest to grow is there, along with the proximity to Mobile.”

the new jobs locally. He also noted the large military and ex-military presence in Pensacola as a positive factor. “After a full career they’ve enjoyed with the military, we can do a cross-train and bring them into civilian aviation while utilizing their previous skill set and training,” he said. In 2013, conversations began firing back and forth between Pensacola city of-

Transportation, Escambia County, VT MAE and the Industry Recruitment, Retention and Expansion Fund worked together to provide the funding for the design and construction of the $46 million facility, which also included a $6.3 million loan from the city to kick start construction. On Oct. 28, the city of Pensacola broke ground on the much-anticipated project, and is expected

city, but would still leave hundreds of skilled positions available for locals. Some of the current jobs openings offered at the Mobile location include sheet metal mechanic, avionics technician, IT support technician, and aircraft inspector. Most of the positions require three or more years of experience in commercial or military aircraft avionics, while some of the ad-

to complete construction on the massive structure within 16 months. When finished, the facility will be able to accommodate two Boeing 777’s, or several Boeing 757’s and Airbus A-320 sized aircraft. City of Pensacola Mayor Ashton Hayward said he believes the VT MAE project is a big success for Pensacola and the community will continue to feel the benefits of the partnership in the future. “That put us on the world map– to have a big time international company in Florida, in Pensacola, and in the city limits,” he said. “Again, it was a team effort with the city and the county. We were determined to get it done.”

vanced openings, like the master APG technician, require 10 or more years of experience and the ability to read and interpret service bulletins, engineering orders and Structural Repair Manuals. “Four hundred jobs is a great number of openings for a company of that size, and is certainly a significant number for the area,” Luth said. Luth made comparisons to International Paper in Cantonment for scale, with 500 to 600 employees, and also to Navy Federal with more than 5,000 to 10,000, many of which are local. “This new facility could really encourage growth of aerospace industry sector for us,” he said. “In partnership with the Chamber of Commerce as an effort to address our double digit unemployment over last 5 to 6 years, the goal was to really decrease the unemployment and increase private sector jobs and this company is part of that success we’ve worked toward.” According to the most recent report on state unemployment numbers from the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity, Pensacola has added 3,000 more jobs since October 2015 and has significantly increased private sector growth. Luth said the jobs brought in by VT MAE or any other manufacturing industry help to boost the creation of other jobs in the com-

Choosing Pensacola

Once the initial idea of opening a satellite location in Pensacola began to take hold, Hafner and the leadership team at VT ficials, Pensacola InterMAE began conducting national Airport Director job market research in Dan Flynn, and VT MAE leadership as to whether or “This is an not building the 173,000 industry that square-foot aerospace facility in Escambia County the area does could be a real possibility. not currently “This is an industry have, and one that the area does not currently have, and one we we haven’t had haven’t had in Pensacola since we had the naval aviin Pensacola ation facility in the 1990s since we had on the navy base,” said Airport Director Dan Flythe naval nn. “This would give indiaviation viduals the opportunity to stay in Pensacola and use facility in the the skills they’ve worked 1990s on the toward building.

The State of Florida and from Mobile to Pensacola they wanted to source the Florida Department of

Adding Value to the Region

The expansion of VT MAE into Pensacola’s economic landscape marks what many are hoping to be a significant milestone for new job growth within the city. Scott Luth, CEO of Florida West Economic Development Alliance said he is hopeful the aerospace company will hire predominantly local people to fill the new positions. “The new facility will be hiring for approximately 400 positions,” he said. “And hiring local people is an investment in Pensacola and the entire Gulf Coast. “ Luth noted some of the higher-experienced level positions could possibly be recruited from outside the

munity–a boost Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties could really benefit from. Aside from diversifying the job market and creating a potential hub of aviation industry, VT MAE will also encourage students from Pensacola State College and the University of West Florida to stay in the area once they’ve graduated, allowing them to utilize their skills locally. “These are jobs people can be trained for that don’t have a four-year degree and may not have a two-year degree,” Hayward said. “Our school district (PSC and UWF) have partnered with us.” Pensacola State College and several other schools within the Escambia County School District will begin offering courses in aviation, prior to VT MAE’s completion. Hayward said he believes VT MAE could help promote the renaissance of the modern American worker by supporting and encouraging the importance of specialized trade skills. I think many of us who were formally educated started to appreciate that when the economy crashed and we were envious of the plumbers and electricians,” he said. “What we did with VTMAE is a big deal and I think the community will continue to feel the benefits in the future.”

VT MAE BY THE NUMBERS The new repair facility will cost $46 million to design and construct. The blueprint of the building will cover 19 acres of Pensacola International Airport property and consist of 173,000 square feet. The facility is expected to bring more than 400 local jobs to the area. The majority of the jobs are expected to pay a salaries ranging from $30,000 to $58,000. The city will lease the newly constructed facility to VT MAE for a 30-year term lease. Construction is expected to take approximately 16 months, with an opening date taking place in early 2018.

Kahn Family Foundation donates more than $200,000 to Pensacola State

Pensacola State College received a $201,200 scholarship from the Robert H. Kahn Jr. Family Foundation on Tuesday. The gift, made in honor of the late Bobby Kahn Jr., was presented to Pensacola State President Ed Meadows during a 10:30 am ceremony in the college’s District Board of Trustees board room in Building 7. A community leader, Kahn passed away in 2014. The gift created the Robert H. Kahn Jr. Endowed Scholarship in Business and Management at Pensacola State. The first scholarships have been awarded for the spring 2017 semester and Dominique Massey-Johnson is one of four students to receive this award. Kahn’s wife, Suzanne Kahn, and daughter, Dorothy Kahn Galloway, established the scholarship to honor his interest in helping people achieve their dreams. “Bobby believed so much in supporting those who make our community such a wonderful place to live. He appreciated that hard work and education were keys to changing lives,” Suzanne Kahn said. “This is a special way that we can help continue doing what he believed in.” Meadows applauded the Kahn family for honoring the college. “Suzanne Kahn and Dorothy Kahn Galloway have shown a strong commitment to Pensacola State College and our outstanding students. We are profoundly grateful for their fantastic support that will expand student scholarship opportunities,” he said. Kahn attended local schools, graduated from Pensacola High School in 1941, and attended Tulane University for two years until World War II interrupted his schooling. He enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1943 and served in the European Theater. He returned to Tulane to complete his degree in business administration, graduating in 1947. Kahn then entered the family business, the Lewis Bear Co., where he spent his career serving in various capacities

including vice president, president and chairman of the board. He retired in 1985. He was a past president of Temple Beth-El and the Rotary Club of Pensacola. A member of Pensacola Yacht Club and an offshore sailor for more than 50 years, Kahn sailed the Pensacola-to-Mexico race seven times ─ winning it in 1975. Kahn also was a hunter and all-around outdoorsman. He taught Junior Achievement in local schools, and volunteered as a coach of the Junior NROTC rifle teams. A particular interest of his was interfaith relations. The Robert H. Kahn Jr. Family Foundation was established in 1998 with the mission of supporting arts and culture, education and religious activities.

Women in Leadership Conference returns to UWF in March The University of West Florida College of Business Executive Mentor Program will host its annual Women in Leadership conference on Friday, March 3, 2017, from 11:45 am to 5 pm in the UWF Conference Center and Auditorium, Building 22, on the Pensacola Campus. Registration will be open starting on Monday, Jan. 9, 2017. Entering its fourth year, the conference is themed, “Designing Your Future,” and features presentations and panel discussions from recognized thought-leaders. The free event is open to the public and welcomes men, women, students and professionals. Registered attendees will receive complimentary lunch in the auditorium. “Attendees will enjoy the enthusiasm, honesty and powerful, inspiring stories of our highly successful speakers,” said Dr. Sherry Hartnett, Women in Leadership Conference chair and director of the UWF College of Business Executive Mentor Program. “We hope participants will leave the conference with motivation and ideas for designing their future careers and lives.”

Dr. Martha Saunders, who will become UWF’s sixth president on Jan. 1, 2017, will deliver the welcome address. Saunders has previously participated as a keynote speaker and panelist for the annual conference. “I’m delighted to participate in this event,” said Saunders. “It has become an important tradition for our community. I learn something new every year.” Other speakers for the 2017 conference have not been announced yet, but Hartnett said attendees will have the opportunity to hear from and connect with prominent women leaders who have achieved both personal and professional success. The final list of speakers will be available when registration opens on Jan. 9. “I hope that everyone schedules this conference on his or her calendar now,” she said. “Plan to register online as soon as the conference registration opens in January, because this conference has quickly sold out every year.” Additional information about the Women in Leadership conference is available at uwf.edu/womeninleadership.

UWF music professor honored as commissioned composer by statewide association

The Florida State Music Teachers Association, FSMTA, selected University of West Florida faculty member Dr. Joseph T. Spaniola as its commissioned composer for 2016. Spaniola, associate professor and director of jazz studies and music theory in the UWF Department of Music, was nominated for the honor by former UWF colleague Dr. Lynne Lauderdale. He then submitted a portfolio to the FSMTA, which has named a commissioned composer annually since 1969. Upon learning he had been selected, Spaniola wrote “Tenacious,” a work for flute, violin, clarinet, bassoon and piano. A quintet comprised of UWF faculty and alumni performed his piece at the FSMTA State Conference in Altamonte Springs in October. “I am hon-

ored to be a part of the commissioned composer tradition and make new music for educators,” Spaniola said. “It is always an honor to be held up by performers and music educators. Tenacious is dedicated to and inspired by music teachers and musicians everywhere, and their passionate, focused and relentless spirit. We could not do what we do without being tenacious.” The commissioned composer program combines the need in the United States to perpetuate the art of new American music and provides states with an opportunity to highlight live performances of new music, according to the Music Teachers National Association. Dr. Sheila Dunn, chair of the music department at UWF, said, “It is a tremendous honor for Dr.

Spaniola and our department to have this kind of visibility at the state and regional level. Joe is a world-class composer and we are privileged to have him on faculty at UWF.” Dunn also said “Tenacious” has helped build community among UWF’s full-time and adjunct faculty, alumni and local professional musicians who have collaborated to perform the piece at events on campus. “The level of performance is top notch, professional and riveting,” she said. “Tenacious is a powerful message about what it takes to be effective and still passionate about music education. We are all in this together, keeping this art alive.” As Florida’s commissioned composition for 2016, “Tenacious” will be given consid-

eration for recognition at the national level, as well. A panel of recognized composers will evaluate states’ commissioned compositions in order to select the MTNA Distinguished Composer of the Year. Spaniola has spent 37 years composing and arranging music for band, orchestra, chamber ensembles, solo instruments, voice, choir and electronic tape. Prior to teaching at UWF, he was the chief composer and arranger for the United States Air Force Academy Band in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and the noncommissioned officer in charge of music production and recording. The UWF Department of Music is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music and provides students with a high quality, personal-

ized, undergraduate education for careers in the fields of music performance and music education. For more information, visit uwf.edu/music.

TOURISM CHIEF OUT AFTER PITBULL CONTROVERSY

By JIM TURNER THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA

Gov. Rick Scott on Friday requested the resignation of the state’s tourism-marketing leader amid a controversy over an expired $1 million contract with a Miami hip-hop artist whom the governor praised for his “devotion to our great state.” Visit Florida President and CEO Will Seccombe agreed to resign from the $120,000-ayear position he’s held since November 2012. In a letter to Visit Florida Chairman William Talbert, Scott backed the need for the tourism-marketing agency while outlining reforms he’d like to see. Visit Florida has come under intense scrutiny over its contract with hip-hop artist Armando Christian Perez, better known as Pitbull, and ongoing sponsorship deals with the Londonbased Fulham Football Club and an IMSA racing team. The letter also included the call for Seccombe’s departure. “I believe it would be best for the future efforts of Visit Florida for Will to step down and allow new leadership to come in at this critical time,” Scott wrote. The request came after the positions of two agency officials, Chief Financial and Operating Officer Vangie McCorvey and Chief Marketing Officer Paul Phipps, were eliminated without any public explanation earlier in the day. Phipps was involved in the $1.25 million Fulham contract. A spokesman for Visit Florida said Seccombe agrees with the leadership changes outlined by Scott. “In the coming weeks, he will be working with the Visit Florida Board of Directors on (the) next steps,” Visit Florida spokesman Tim DeClaire said of Sec-

combe. Before taking the helm of Visit Florida, Seccombe spent nearly five years as the chief marketing officer for the agency. Scott advised Talbert to consider several changes during a Jan.9 Visit Florida meeting at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, including publishing online details about agency spending, employee salaries and vendor contracts. However, Scott also maintained in the letter his support for the agency, as Florida continues to set record tourism numbers. “Visit Florida and its work to advertise our state supports our tourism industry, which is made up of hundreds of thousands of direct and indirect jobs all across our state,” Scott wrote. “Anyone who disputes that fact or argues for no longer using Visit Florida’s advertising to promote tourism here simply does not understand the business world or the nature of our economy.” Scott’s action came as House leaders have aggressively questioned a proposal to earmark $76 million next fiscal year for the agency’s marketing efforts. “Our job is to decide if Visit Florida should exist and if so how much should it be funded,” House Speaker Richard Corcoran, RLand O’ Lakes, tweeted on Friday. “We’re not engaged in their hiring and firing decisions.” The controversy about the Pitbull contract drew widespread attention Tuesday when Corcoran had House attorneys file a lawsuit in Leon County circuit court seeking a ruling on a claim by PDR Production that the contract from the 2015-2016 fiscal year included trade secrets that kept terms of the deal out of the public. PDR is the artist’s production company. Perez on Thursday

released the contract, which outlined his payment and what the state expected in return. Part of the deal was a video for his song “Sexy Beaches,” which has drawn questions related to “Florida values” from some state lawmakers. Seccombe repeated this week that the agency no longer enters agreements that can’t be made fully public. He also contended Visit Florida has received $8.50 in media attention for every $1 invested in the Pitbull program. Even as he requested changes at Visit Florida on Friday, Scott praised the hip-hop artist. “Lastly, I appreciate Pitbull and his devotion to our great state,” Scott wrote in the letter to Talbert. “His willingness to help promote tourism in Florida is a great example for other entertainers to follow.” On Thursday, Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Jack Latvala, RClearwater, called the contract a “mistake” that shouldn’t be held against the accomplishments of the agency. Latvala pointed to the state’s increased tourism numbers as Visit Florida has broadened its marketing reach and the fact that people in the tourism industry praise the agency’s work. “I have traveled the state, I’ve had tourism forums in Fort Walton Beach, in West Palm Beach, in Key West, and in my community in Clearwater, and one thing rings true from the people who are in the accommodation business … their very high regard for Visit Florida,” Latvala said. The state has seen its tourism numbers grow from 87.3 million in 2011, when Visit Florida received $35 million from the state, to 106 million last year, when lawmakers allocated $78 million for the agency.

HERMINE, MATTHEW DAMAGES NEAR $1.6 BILLION By JIM TURNER THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA

Hurricane damages in Florida have reached at least $1.59 billion from the two storms that hammered parts of North Florida and the East Coast this year, according to the latest numbers from the insurance industry and the state. The numbers don’t include agricultural losses and some damages that local governments are handling without state assistance. Also, the director of the state’s Division of Emergency Management said the numbers remain preliminary and depend in part on future state funding. Still, the costs tied to Hurricane Hermine and Hurricane Matthew, for which the state expects to receive substantial reimbursements from the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, are the highest for disasters since the much more expensive 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons, Division of Emergency Management Director Bryan Koon told members of the Senate Appropriations Committee on Thursday. “That’s to be expected. Hurricanes are our most expensive disasters,” Koon said as he outlined damages to government entities.

Damages from Hurricane Hermine, which made landfall in a sparsely populated part of the Big Bend and swept through Tallahassee in early September, stand around $213.6 million. The total includes $147 million in individual propertydamage claims that have been reported to the Office of Insurance Regulation. The more-powerful Hurricane Matthew, which stayed offshore but caused damage Oct. 6 and Oct. 7 in Northeast Florida, clocks in at $1.376 billion. By comparison the University of Florida’s Bureau of Economic and Business Research has placed damages from the 2004 hurricane season, in which four hurricanes hit the state, at $45 billion. The Matthew total includes 112,000 individual property-damage claims, representing $729 million in value. Volusia, Duval, Brevard, St. Johns and Flagler counties represented most of the claims. The Matthew figure also includes $430.8 million in damages to government facilities and structures, including damage to a 1.3mile section of Florida A1A in Flagler Beach that caused Gov. Rick Scott to order expedited repairs. Koon said the state’s

share of storm-damage costs is expected to be offset by money from the federal government and local contributions. Hermine is expected to directly cost the state about $9.6 million, from emergency protective actions to debris removal, with local government contributions reaching more than $5 million. Matthew may require about $130.3 million from the state, a figure that includes $77 million being sought from the Legislature in 2017 for an estimated $217 million in beach, dune and park repairs from Duval through Indian River counties. “First, we do want to focus on the immediate protections needed for structures, we want to look at projects that can be implemented in a timely manner,” said Alex Reed, program administrator for the Department of Environmental Protection’s Beach Management Funding Assistance Program. “The cost estimates are going to be refined as we get more data, and we identify the federal funding as local sponsors prepare their storm-repair plans.” The state expects to receive $90 million to $100 million from the federal government for projects to harden infrastructure from future disasters, Koon said.

SENATE BUDGET CHAIR SIGNALS SUPPORT FOR VISIT FLORIDA

A $1 million contract with the Miami rapper Pitbull was a “mistake,” but the deal shouldn’t offset successful work of the state’s tourismmarketing arm, the head of the Senate budget committee said. As House leaders question a proposal to set aside $76 million next year for the publicprivate Visit Florida, Senate Appropriations Chairman Jack Latvala is defending the agency. “It’s really easy to look at things other people do and say, ‘Oh, you made a mistake,’ “ Latvala said Thursday of the now-expired $1 million contract between Visit Florida and Armando Christian Perez, better known as Pitbull. “These are the people on the front lines that have to make decisions, and I think it’s important to look at the overall performance.” Latvala, R-Clearwater, pointed to the state’s increased tourism numbers as Visit Florida has broadened its marketing reach and the fact that people in the tourism industry praise the agency’s work. “I have traveled the state, I’ve had tourism forums in Fort Walton Beach, in West Palm Beach, in Key West, and in my community in Clearwater, and one thing rings true from the people who are in the accommodation busi-

ness … their very high regard for Visit Florida,” Latvala said. The state has seen its tourism numbers grow from 87.3 million in 2011, when Visit Florida received $35 million from the state, to 106 million last year, when lawmakers allocated $78 million for the agency. The Pitbull contract caused a controversy, in part, because his production company, PDR Production, initially refused to release it. House attorneys Tuesday took the unusual step of filing a lawsuit in Leon County circuit court seeking a ruling on the claim by PDR Production that the contract from the 2015-2016 fiscal year included trade secrets that kept terms of the deal out of the public. But, the Miami-born Perez released via Twitter the 11-page contract, which outlined the terms of the tourism ambassador deal that expired June 30. Among the provisions, Perez would do promotional work through a New Year’s Eve celebration in Miami; during at least one live appearance in South Florida; by appearing in a video series encouraging people to visit popular Florida spots; through foreign appearances; and through a video for the song “Sexy Beaches.” House Speaker Richard Corcoran, R-Land O’ Lakes, has been critical of funding for Visit Florida. While appear-

ing Thursday on WFTL radio in West Palm Beach, he said tourism numbers are more reflective of the strength of the economy and called the deal “millions of dollars wasted of taxpayers’ money.” “People are recognizing that when it comes to spending taxpayers’ money, you better be transparent, you better be open, and you better be accountable for how you spend that money,” said Corcoran, who is also critical of an $85 million funding request to help the public-private Enterprise Florida recruit businesses to the state. Along with the Pitbull contract, Visit Florida has been questioned for separate deals with London-based Fulham Football Club and an IMSA racing team. Latvala called it ironic that in the past two years the House had initially proposed higher funding levels for Visit Florida than the Senate. “I don’t think we can stick our heads in the sand and just quit advertising and quit doing things to bring people to Florida, bring business to Florida, bring movies to Florida,” Latvala said. Gov. Rick Scott questioned the lack of transparency about the rapper’s contract, calling it “ridiculous” in a tweet. But Scott also maintained support for the agency’s efforts to attract increased numbers of tourists to the state each year.

Family Features

o matter the occasion, every celebration is better with snacks. Whether you’re hosting game day with the guys, catching up with girlfriends, gathering for family movie night or inviting your kids’ friends over for a grade school sleepover, you can’t go wrong with popcorn treats. Popcorn is the perfect partner for a broad span of flavors, especially when they’re sweet or salty – or both. You can make each mouthwatering bite pop even more by adding texture with crunchy nuts or silky melted chocolate. Even if you simply serve plain popcorn to your guests, you can feel good about serving healthy, whole grain, freshly popped popcorn, which is naturally low in fat and calories, non-GMO and gluten free. Find more ways to pop up more fun for your next party at popcorn.org.
