NORTH PORT — Mike Dunn, vice president of Florida Operations for the Atlanta Braves, always generates excitement when he talks to local groups about the ongoing construction on the team’s new $140 million spring training facility in the West Villages.
That alone made him a natural to give the afternoon keynote address Friday at the 2018 North Port Real Estate Summit.
The man who preceded him on the dais, Ron Starner, senior vice president of Conway Inc., the corporate parent company to Site Selection Magazine, set Dunn up perfectly when he called the Braves’ decision to move spring training to North Port “the signature win that most communities around the state would sell their first born for.”
