The son of Blockbuster video billionaire Wayne Huizenga successfully lobbied then-Gov. Rick Scott to include the site of his $100 million West Palm Beach development into an Opportunity Zone, according to a ProPublica investigation.

In this case, it benefits Wayne Huizenga Jr.’s plans to build luxury apartment towers on the Marina Village site.
