Attorney General Ashley Moody visited the Space Coast last week to discuss her support for legislation advancing the state's space industry. The event took place during a town hall meeting in Cocoa, where Moody met with residents, business owners, and local officials. She praised the area's contributions to Florida's aerospace sector, noting its long history and recent growth. Moody's visit came as the Space Coast continues to attract space-related companies and research initiatives. "The Space Coast has always been a cornerstone of Florida's space program," Moody said during the meeting. "Its momentum shows no signs of slowing." The Attorney General highlighted bipartisan efforts to streamline regulations for space companies, a move she called critical for the region's future. Local business leaders echoed her sentiments, citing increased investment and job creation in recent years. The area is home to more than 200 space-related businesses, including SpaceX, Blue Origin, and numerous defense contractors. Moody's office confirmed the visit was part of a statewide tour to assess the space industry's needs. "We're seeing innovation here that's unmatched," said one attendee, a manager at a local aerospace firm. "This region is where the future of space exploration is being built." The meeting concluded with a roundtable discussion on workforce development and infrastructure projects. Moody's team did not provide a timeline for legislative proposals but emphasized ongoing collaboration with local stakeholders.
