Governor Crist Announces Economic Development Win for Palm Coast and Flagler County

Governor Charlie Crist today applauded a big win for Florida’s state and local Flagler County development team. AMREP Corp. will be unifying its magazine, membership and direct mail fulfillment services which include Palm Coast Data and Kable Fulfillment Services into one location: Palm Coast, Fla., and under one brand: Palm Coast Data.


“Economic development that leads to high value, high wage jobs is my number one mission, and by working with companies like Palm Coast Data to facilitate their growth and expansion in Florida, we are accomplishing this mission,” said Gov. Crist. “I commend the team who made this good news happen, including Enterprise Florida and its local affiliate, Enterprise Flagler, WorkForce Florida, the City of Palm Coast and Flagler County. This well-coordinated effort will benefit Palm Coast and our state in the years to come.”

The combination of the Palm Coast Data capital budget, along with the incentives and investments from the State of Florida, Enterprise Flagler and the City of Palm Coast, will be directly and indirectly responsible for generating $174.6 million in annual economic output throughout Flagler County within three years. Total direct economic output is expected to be $123.8 million annually upon reaching the full employment estimates.
