record/decisions/timeline.yaml). 90 sources on Evidence. As of 2026-09-04.A public record of decisions about public money, assembled from primary documents — applications, leases, grant agreements and amendments, bid documents, council memos, board minutes, and press. Every figure links to its source.
Not an accusation, an audit, or a claim of wrongdoing. Where the record supports more than one reading, both are shown. Where it is silent, we say so rather than fill the gap.
Solid lines and coral figures are executed and in force. Dashed lines and cyan figures are proposed — money that does not exist yet. Amber marks a question the record holds open. Corrections are welcome and logged.
A $66M Triumph grant inside a $210M airport MRO campus — 1,325 jobs at a $44,461 floor, on a clock that starts five years after Hangar 4 is complete. Across five amendments the grant amount never moved; the completion deadline moved +44 months.
The 2020 application asks $6.08M to "seed a human performance cluster" — three years before any sailboat; the grant agreement follows in 2021. Five amendments grow it to $20.4M, and the binding metric becomes research spending: ≥$58.5M by 2036.
The City asks $8.5M to renovate Warehouse 10 — "required to secure headquarters relocation" — pitched at 170 boat-building jobs at ~$105,000; the 2024 lease binds 120 jobs, no wage term, and licenses "other products and services that use the Tenant's capabilities." The 2026 pivot to anti-submarine-drone wings needed no public re-approval at the lease layer.
Hurricane Sally submerged the Port's roads and rail; an $11.4M CDBG-DR award funds the rebuild — $2.3M of it reallocated Sally housing money, a contested move that the March 2026 paperwork executing it never mentions.
UWF wins $3.3M of a $16.7M marine-composites lab, the catalyst argument being American Magic's arrival — a claim UWF makes itself. Binding: 175 certificates and ≥$9.95M in extramural funding by 2034, owed by a named public university board.
$76M of a $275M shipbuilding project — the largest request in the record; the 2,000 jobs pitched as "direct at the Port" become FTEs across eight counties in the draft instruments, subcontractors included. The term sheet is executed (2026-07-23) and expressly non-binding; only a grant agreement would bind, and none exists.
A berth, breakwater, and −20 ft dredged channel — 'American Magic Phase II' in the documents — awarded May 2026 from FSTED and Port funds, after the Triumph decision was recorded as complete. The executed construction contract is not in the corpus.
