From the Founder’s Desk: Why I Want Flyover Readers to Own Flyover Florida
When I decided to accept investors in Flyover Florida, one thing mattered to me more than anything: that our readers would have the chance to become our owners. If I had my druthers, every single investor in Flyover Florida would be a Flyover Florida reader. That’s why we’ve structured this offering with you in mind:
5% bonus shares for all Flyover Floridareaders who invest
Anadditional 5% and 10% bonus for those investing larger amounts
Legally, the offering is open to any U.S. citizen. But my heart—and our strategy—are focused on keeping ownership in the hands of our readers. Right now, we’re less than $350,000 away from hitting 50% of our ultimate funding goal – but our Q3 deadline for 50% raised has passed and we are behind.
But some of our readers are asking: “How do I get a return on my investment?”
Here’s why Flyover Florida is different:
Already profitable after just two years (most start-ups never are)
80% gross margins and 24% net income (exceptional margins)
In the top 1% of media start-ups (proven strength)
How investors could realize returns:
A Sale – Only to a partner who shares our values. (CNN or theNew York Times need not apply.)
Public Listing – Shares traded openly on an exchange.
Profit Distributions (Dividends) – Because we’re already profitable, this is possible.
Recap: Sale. Listing. Distributions.
My Closing Pitch
More than 1,450 Flyover readers have already joined us as investors. We’re just $350K away from our next milestone. If you’ve been considering investing, now is the moment. Let’s finish this round together and make Flyover Florida a news company truly owned by its readers.
Will you be one of the investors who help us keep Flyover Florida reader-owned?
President Donald Trump plans to build a high-rise tower in downtown Miami to house his presidential library after Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Florida Cabinet voted Tuesday to gift 2.6 acres of public land next to the Freedom Tower for the project.
The property, formerly owned by Miami Dade College, is appraised at over $66 million. The only condition of the gift is that construction on a presidential library, museum, or center begin within five years.
Eric Trump said the library will become a “bold landmark” visible from miles away. Supporters believe the library will boost tourism and serve as an economic engine for downtown Miami.
Some critics of the decision are unhappy with the site being adjacent to the “Ellis Island of the South.” Protesters gathered Monday near the Freedom Tower to oppose the giveaway.
The land includes working ranchland in Hardee and Okeechobee counties. It is being preserved through the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services’ Rural and Family Lands Protection Program.
The deals include 2,559 acres at Bentley Ranch along the Peace River watershed—vital for water quality, aquifer recharge, and flood control—and nearly 6,000 acres in the Great Florida Prairie, a key Everglades headwaters region.
FCG leaders praised the move as essential to preserving water resources, wildlife habitat, and Florida’s ranching heritage.
State Executes Record 13th Prisoner
A man convicted of killing a married couple during a robbery in South Florida in 1990 was put to death Tuesday, marking a record 13th execution in Florida this year.
Victor Tony Jones, 64, was pronounced dead at 6:13 p.m. following a lethal injection at Florida State Prison near Starke. Jones’ death extended Florida’s record for total executions in a single year, with two more executions scheduled in October.
Jones was a new employee at a Miami-Dade business owned by Jacob and Matilda Nestor, known as Jack and Dolly, when he stabbed the woman in the neck and her husband in the chest. Jones was convicted of two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of armed robbery.
Since the U.S. Supreme Court restored the death penalty in 1976, the highest previous annual total of Florida executions was eight in 2014. Florida has executed more people than any other state this year, followed by Texas with five.
