Welcome to

Governor Charlie Crist is planning a trip overseas to entice foreign companies to invest in Florida. Crist will leave on the 12-day trade mission Friday. He’ll visit London, Paris, Madrid and Russia. Crist will focus on business development and climate change while overseas. The Florida Governor says he hopes his trip will generate economic growth and jobs for the state’s unemployed.

“I’m trying to get them employed, that’s exactly why I’m going. To try to generate more business more investment, more entrepreneurship from these countries that have been very good friends to Florida in the past and express that gratitude and continue to encourage their investment and employment of our fellow Floridians,” said Crist.

He will take his fiancée Carole Rome with him on the trip.
