A 50-acre development at Space Coast Regional Airport in Titusville is expected to bring 1,500 to 2,000 high-tech aerospace jobs to north Brevard County. The project, known as Space Coast Innovation Park, is planned as a three-phase hub for aerospace and defense manufacturing companies. It is being built on Titusville-Cocoa Airport Authority land near Grissom Parkway, about 4 miles from Interstate 95 and near Kennedy Space Center. The development is a partnership involving Florida Commerce, Space Florida and the Florida Department of Transportation. When complete, the park is expected to include 1 million square feet of workspace, including office space, hangars and testing facilities. Lynda Weatherman, president and CEO of the Economic Development Commission of Florida’s Space Coast, said the infrastructure will be an asset for attracting supply chain, defense and aerospace companies. The land has been owned by the Titusville-Cocoa Airport Authority and has sat empty and unused for about 20 years. Kevin Daughtery of the airport authority said the project will help the region compete for companies looking for space to locate or expand. Officials said the project is expected to add to the region’s economy through new jobs and property tax revenue.
