adm2019L33.docx October 22, 2018 Ms. Bianca Rubio Department of Economic Opportunity 107 East Madison Street The Caldwell Building Tallahassee, Florida 32399 Re: Letter for Project Glaze Dear Ms. Rubio: It has come to the attention of Martin County, that the above-referenced project is consolidating two existing locations and new business from overseas. A local Port St. Lucie medical device company, Oculus Surgical, Inc., recently acquired Insight Instruments, a medical device manufacturer located in Stuart. The German based parent company, Oculus GmbH, acquired the company but did not acquire the company’s real estate holdings in Stuart, located at 2580 SE Willoughby Road, Stuart. The company has selected a location in Tradition Center for Commerce to expand operations and will relocate the 12 existing Martin County employees to that new facility. DEO requires Martin County to acknowledge the change in location, which we can do, although we are disappointed that these positions could not be retained or expanded in Martin County. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, Taryn G.
