EDC Receives $75k to Champion Military Installations
The EDC was chosen to serve as the voice of military installations and their economic impact in Brevard

Governor Rick Scott announced the recipients of this year’s Defense Reinvestment Grants designed to protect, enhance and retain military installations and their contributions to the local economy.

Governor Scott said, “As we prepare to celebrate Independence Day, we are proud to announce more support for Florida’s military communities. Our thriving military installations and the economic investments they provide our local communities help make Florida the most military-friendly state in the nation. As a Navy veteran, I am proud to announce the combined funding from the Defense Infrastructure and Reinvestment Grant Programs, and the Defense Support Task Force Grant Program will provide more than $3 million of support for defense communities across the state. We are committed to continuing to make important investments to support the brave servicemen and women, veterans and military families who selflessly serve our country.”

The Economic Development Commission of Florida’s Space Coast (EDC) was selected once again to receive $75,000 and continue its activities highlighting the positive economic influence military installations have in Brevard County.
