“I am excited to visit IDI today to celebrate their recent success and the creation of 40 jobs over the past two years,” Scott said in a news release. “IDI is one of many small businesses growing in Florida and plans to add 200 new jobs over the next few years. We will keep working to cut $1 billion in taxes and create the new $250 million dedicated Florida Enterprise Fund this session so Florida can become first for jobs.”
IDI CEO Derek Dubner said, “Since our inception, IDI has experienced incredible growth. We are grateful to Governor Scott for his commitment to creating a business-friendly environment in Florida so companies like ours can succeed. IDI is dedicated to making the world a safer place, reducing the cost of doing business, and enhancing the consumer experience, and we look forward to working with new clients across the country to meet this goal.”
Mayor Susan Haynie heralded IDI’s growth and success.
“In a relatively short period of time they’ve created 40 jobs locally, and plan to create over 200 more for our city,” she said in the release. “We have a thriving business community here in Boca Raton and it’s always an honor to highlight their accomplishments.”
