The Orlando City Council approved financial incentives for the KPMG development totaling $320,000 including $64,000 from the city and the rest from the state.  The city would pay $64,000 over four years if KPMG actually creates 80 new jobs as expected. Orlando also may grant KPMG property tax rebates on the property totaling as much as $3.5 million, or a maximum of 25 percent of property tax over seven years. [Orlando Sentinel]Mike Seemuth
