body
DESCRIPTION
On November 4, 2025, the Board adopted Ordinance No. 25-062 establishing an economic development ad valorem tax exemption for a new business in Polk County. In the Ordinance, the new business is referred to as “Fort Meade LLC”, the name in which the company was originally registered in its incorporation state of Delaware, and how it was initially requested to be registered to transact business in Florida.
Upon its initial filing with the State of Florida, the company was informed the name “Fort Meade LLC” was unavailable, so instead was registered with the State in the alternative name of “Fort Meade DC, LLC.” Despite the different names, the company is the same legal entity, with the same FEI number. The purpose of this Resolution is to acknowledge and clarify that the company referred to in Ordinance No. 25-062 as “Fort Meade LLC” is the same legal entity registered with the State of Florida as “Fort Meade DC, LLC,” a Delaware limited liability company, FEI number: 33-4112087.
