Sanford Burnham will return millions of dollars to the state after failing to meet requirements laid out in an incentive deal.
The governor’s office says Florida will get $12.3 million dollars.
The Florida Department of Economic Opportunity wrote the non-profit scientific research group in 2016 demanding more than $77 million be returned. But Sanford Burnham argued it only had to pay back money it hadn’t spent.
Former Gov. Jeb Bush put the $360 million incentive package together to lure Sanford Burnham to Orlando.
Officials are deciding if the University of Central Florida or other groups should take over the space left behind.
