Biotech developer scams Florida cities

A seven-month investigation by Jason Grotto of The Miami Herald reveals how a Boston developer, Dennis Stackhouse, collected millions of dollars for a biotech park. He promised to create thousands of jobs in one of Miami-Dade’s neediest neighborhood, but nothing was ever built. Part two of the series shows how Stackhouse received support for the project from community leaders despite the fact that his plan was riddled with problems. The Herald also found that Liberty City was not the first community to be scammed by Stackhouse.
