Disney scraps $1bn Florida campus amid political dispute.
TL;DR
Disney cancels plans to build a $1bn corporate campus in Florida that would have housed 2,000 employees amid its ongoing legal battle with Florida’s governor, Ron DeSantis. The company was expected to spend as much as $864m on the project, for a campus that would have served as a base for Walt Disney Imagineering and the Disney Parks, Experiences and Products division. Disney’s decision to move the California-based Imagineering staffers across the country drew complaints from employees, many of whom said they did not want to move to Florida.
