    Davidoff Finds "The Good Life" in Pinellas

    The Oettinger Davidoff Group (“Davidoff”) will soon bring its “Good Life” philosophy to Pinellas County, Florida.  The company selected an existing facility within the city of Pinellas Park in which to relocate its U.S. headquarters. With this move, Davidoff will bring 90 new jobs paying 150% of the average annual wage. The availability of a recently vacated facility with over 100,000 square feet was one attraction for Davidoff.  The ease of doing business in Florida and the incentives available to make the relocation cost-effective also helped make Pinellas County the right location.  “I’m very pleased to welcome Davidoff and these new jobs to Pinellas County,” said Karen Williams Seel, Chair of the Pinellas Board of County Commissioners. “Pinellas County is focused on creating a business climate that encourages corporate expansion and job creation. Wins like this one, in such a competitive environment, serve to further emphasize the advantages of choosing Pinellas.” Read more here.
