Brevard County Is A Resilient Economy

August 20, 2020 — Brevard County may be one of the best areas in Florida to deal with current challenges, says the Orlando Business Journal.

According to the publication, “The state’s 15th-largest county, which totals more than 1,015 square miles, has a population of 601,942 — the most recent U.S. Census Bureau data showed — and is bordered by Orange, Seminole, Osceola, Volusia, Indian River counties. It can draw from those regions’ workforces since Brevard County is where most of the activity is centered…”

The Space Coast has continued to build its base of industrial activity since the last Space Shuttle flight in 2011, Lynda Weatherman, CEO of the Economic Development Commission of Florida’s Space Coast, told Orlando Business Journal.

Brevard County has diversified in recent years and boasts high-tech companies and a robust manufacturing base.

Orlando Business Journal featured Viera in a list of positive economic news:
The Viera Co. continues to build homes in Viera, and ranks among the nation’s best-selling master-planned communities.

Says OBJ, “Along with commercial space flight and manufacturing, the county also boasts plenty of recreation with beaches and parks, as well as the anticipated return of tourism via shuttle launches, NASA’s Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex and the cruising industry.”
