After the meeting, I briefly mentioned to Commissioner Nance that it would be a very good idea—if it hasn't already been done—to send a formal notification to Dr. Payne in Gainesville that the funding for the Immokalee agribusiness Accelerator is back in play. I know that there has been talk about the hiring and involvement of a Food Science faculty position,and I am just concerned that if UF isn't aware the state funding has been reinstated,that the money they have slotted for that position could be reallocated. I would hate to see that happen so I wanted to make sure that my brief comment to the Commissioner after the formal meeting was over didn't slip between the cracks. In anticipation of that accelerator project, I am hosting a workshop at the Immokalee Research and Education Center, "How to Start A Food Business",on May 27`h(flyer attached). It would be wonderful if the Commissioner could attend, even if just for a portion of the day. If he is available, I would love for him to welcome folks to the meeting that day. Thanks for your help!
