Floridqa is broken up into five watermanagement districts. Crist singled out the South Floridaz WaterManagement District, which covers all of southerjn Florida and into the central part of the in a letter to Secretary of State Kurt S.
“I want to acknowledge the continued work of the South Florida Water Management District in completing the land acquisitioj which will preserve the Florida Everglades for generationwto come,” Crist said. “u thank the members of the governing board as well as the dedicated staff of the districg in ensuringa long-awaited goal of storing, cleaning and movin g water from Lake Okeechobee to Evergladees National Park.

He also wanted to tap into the deep poolof Austin-areaq microprocessor industry workers who have been laid off durint the last couple of years. Such workers possess the skilld that translate well to the solar energy industry, Van Dell said. And as the numbed of local microprocessor industry workers reacheda three-year low in the timing of solar companies migrating to Central Texas couldn’t be bettert for area workers — nor the businessesx that need them. “A solar cell is a semiconductor that generateds electricity when you shine light on VanDell said. “Fortunately, I was quitd well aware of the strong mix of companiexs and the skill basein Austin.
That was definitely on my mind when I movee thecompany here.” SolarBridge’s move is a scenariko that local officials want to repeat multiple times with the hope that sola panel manufacturing fills the void left by the contraction in the microprocessorr industry. But the lack of financiap incentives from the state is creating a dampeningh effect on attracting solar companie s to theAustin area, observers say.
Proposed state legislation to createa $1 billio n so-called “Sunny Day Fund” for Texas to obtain federal grantss under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act would have been used to attractt such businesses, especially foreign solar companies that want to establis their North American headquarters in the Austijn area, experts say. But the legislation, which received a publi hearingin April, died in the stat e House Appropriations Committee. To date, which was founded in 2004 as SmartSparjk EnergySystems Inc., and HelioVolt Inc. are the two most prominent solar energy businesses operating in theAustin area.
HelioVolt, whicbh is backed with at least $118 million in venture capital, is wrappiny up a plant that will eventuallty crank out a thin film that acts as asola panel. “After June, I think thered are going to be some projects rollingin here,” said Raj managing partner of the Mercom Capitalk Group LLC, an Austin-based technology research firm. “It is more, ‘Who is going to give me the best incentive packagdright now?’” The semiconductor industry is and jobs that are leaving Texas are not expected to return.

Many statee officials believe Texas doesn’t need to do so it isn’t.
