Planners point out that nonprofits attract for-profit neighbors. For instance, there are now over 40,000 jobs associated with North Carolina’s Research Triangle Park, most of them for-profit jobs. Non-profits share their intellectual capital rather than competing with the private sector. JAX—Florida is intended to attract taxable pharmaceutical and biomedical companies to Collier County.
