Disney cancels $1bn Florida expansion amid DeSantis feud.
TL;DR
Disney has cancelled a $1bn office complex in Orlando, which was set to bring 2,000 jobs to the region, following a warning from Disney leadership that billions of dollars in projects were on the line after Florida Governor Ron DeSantis escalated his feud with the company. The move comes after a year-long feud over opposition to what opponents have called Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” law that boiled over into political and legal battles that could shape the company’s business in the state.
