[LOS ANGELES, May 18 (Reuters) - Walt Disney Co
(DIS.N) is scrapping plans to build a
nearly $1 billion corporate campus
in central Florida that would have
housed 2,000 employees,
according to an e-mail to employees
on Thursday,
against the backdrop of its ongoing
legal battle with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

Disney parks chief Josh D'Amaro said
"changing business conditions"
prompted Disney to reconsider its 2021 plan
to relocate employees,
including its Imagineers who design
theme park rides,
to a new campus in Lake Nona.


Disney and DeSantis have been locked
in an increasingly acrimonious battle
that started in March 2022,
when Disney's then-CEO, Bob Chapek,
criticized legislation in Florida that would
limit discussion of gender identity
and sexuality in elementary schools.]
