"The potential creation of over 2,000 jobs in the city of Orlando has been scrapped as Disney continues to feud with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, The New York Times reported.


Disney’s chief executive Bob Iger and the company's theme park and consumer products chairman Josh D’Amaro have pulled the plug on a nearly $1 billion office complex that was scheduled to be built in Orlando -- a project that would have brought over 2,000 jobs with high salaries.

"The project, known as the Lake Nona Town Center, was supposed to involve the relocation of more than 1,000 employees from Southern California, including most of a department known as Imagineering, which works with Disney’s movie studios to develop theme park attractions," The Times' report stated. "Most of the affected employees complained bitterly about having to move — some quit — but Disney largely held firm, partly because of a Florida tax credit that would have allowed the company to recoup as much as $570 million over 20 years for building and occupying the complex.""
