3 Big Things Coming to the Space Coast

Posted: March 22nd, 2013

We're sure you already know that the Space Coast is a great place to live. Between the excitement of the Space Center, the proximity to the beach, and the huge variety of local businesses throughout the region, this area in Brevard County offers something for everyone. In fact, people around the world are starting to take notice of this area as a great place to live and work.

The Space Coast has become a hotspot for development, and there are a number of exciting projects in the works for this area. Here are 3 new developments you'll be seeing within the next year or so:

  • Rocket Lab's first U.S. launch facility. As if the Space Coast weren't already a hotbed of activity for space exploration, a newer company called Rocket Lab, specializing in satellite launches, is considering the Space Coast for their first U.S. based launch facility, according to the Orlando Sentinel. Currently launching from New Zealand, Rocket Lab is also considering locations in California, Alaska, and Virginia for its new project.
  • A new, state-of-the-art cruise terminal at Cape Canaveral. The cruise ports at Cape Canaveral are some of the busiest in the country, and the Cape is updating their terminals to meet demand. Port Canaveral recently demolished the old Terminal 3 to make room for an upgraded facility, and construction on the new building should be complete by early 2020, according to Space Coast Daily.
  • A state-of-the-art aquarium at Cape Canaveral. The Brevard Zoo has proposed the construction of a new educational aquarium near Cape Canaveral in partnership with Indian River Lagoon conservational efforts. While plans for this aquarium aren't yet set in stone, project directors intend to create a globally-known facility and bring plenty of jobs to the area, according to Florida Today.

The Space Coast is expanding at a rapid rate, bringing more jobs and opportunities to residents throughout the region.
