A local venue in Brevard County was closed Tuesday following an inspection that discovered flying insects and roaches, according to county health department records. The closure affects the Brevard Event Center, a popular space for weddings and community events located at 1234 Satellite Boulevard. Health officials said the findings during the inspection prompted an immediate shutdown to address potential health code violations. "We take these issues seriously," said spokesperson Maria Lopez. "The facility must be cleaned and reinspected before reopening." The venue’s manager, James Carter, confirmed the closure but declined to comment on the specifics of the inspection. Carter said the center has hired a pest control company to address the issue and is working with health officials to expedite the process. "Our priority is safety," he said in a brief statement. "We’re cooperating fully with the department." The health department did not specify the number of pests found but emphasized that the presence of flying insects and roaches violates state sanitation standards. Inspectors cited the venue for failure to maintain proper pest control measures, according to a released report. The center is scheduled to reopen no earlier than Friday, pending a follow-up inspection. Local residents expressed mixed reactions on social media. Some praised the health department’s swift action, while others questioned why the issue wasn’t addressed sooner. "It’s alarming to hear this," said resident Linda Martinez. "I hope they fix it quickly." The venue has not yet responded to requests for additional comment.
