Bottom Line: Your daily recap of the some of the biggest news from around the state that impacts you in South Florida.

  • Jeff Bezos’s foundation donated $5.25 million to The Homeless Services Network of Central Florida. This comes in the same week Amazon announced a new distribution center in Auburndale (outside of Orlando).
  • Ducks Unlimited in conjunction with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Foundation announced $22 million for Florida’s MK Ranch in the Apalachicola River.
  • Virgin provided an update on the Brightline to Orlando project yesterday. The expansion to Orlando is running on, or even ahead of schedule to be competed in 2022.
