Item 2 - Wounded Warrior Project Economic Development Grant Application. The St. Johns
County Economic Development Agency (Agency) has received an application from
Wounded Warrior Project (Applicant), for economic development incentives to consider
relocating their national non-profit organization to St. Johns County. The applicant is
evaluating two sites in St. Johns County (Nocatee and World Golf Village), as well as sites
elsewhere to construct a 150,000 square foot office building to serve as its new national
corporate headquarters. If approved, the Applicant proposes to create 500 new jobs within
the County at an average wage of $62,000, which would include the relocation of 220
existing employees and hiring of an additional 280 employees within the next three years.
After the Agency received the application, the Applicant subsequently withdrew their
request for confidentiality. The capital investment for this project is estimated to be $44
million dollars. Including the $31 million annual payroll, this project represents an
estimated $46.5 million economic impact, despite being tax-exempt. The applicant scored
9 points under the ‘New Industry’ category of the County’s Business Incentive Program,
which makes it eligible for expedited permitting and an economic development grant for
reimbursement of up to 100% of fees paid to the County by the applicant. Due to the
unique nature of this project being tax-exempt, rather than providing the standard
incentive program schedule, staff proposes a job creation grant to attract the high-wage
corporate headquarter jobs to St. Johns County. If St. Johns County is selected, the
Applicant would begin construction in 2016 and complete the project by December 31,
2017. With this schedule, it is anticipated that the first annual grant payment would be
made to the Applicant during FY 18. The total estimated value of the proposed incentive is
$500,000, representing $1,000 per job paid out over a 10-year period. Staff recommends
support of this incentive application.
