The last time the Space Coast faced economic adversity, it fought back to become one of the best-performing communities in Florida and the nation. The unexpected challenges of 2020 underscore the significance of those successful economic development strategies. The 2020 EDC Annual Meeting captured the enduring spirit of the Space Coast and how the work of the EDC strengthens our economy, community and future.
