Web Site To Gather Ideas About Growth And Sustainability On
Florida's Space Coast
The Task Force on Space Industry Workforce and Economic
Development has launched an interactive website to encourage public
comment on ways to promote economic growth and sustainability in
Florida's Space Coast region as it adapts to changes in America's
space program.
The site offers information some of the work being done to
create jobs in the region by fostering a more supportive
entrepreneurial ecosystem.
"We consider the new interactive website an important tool to
understand public concerns and challenges about the economic growth
and well being of Florida's Space Coast," said Woodrow Whitlow,
NASA's associate administrator for the Mission Support Directorate
in Washington. "This tool and our other outreach efforts will help
the task force prepare recommendations for the president that
reflects the greatest needs and concerns of both the public and the
area's aerospace-related industries."
On May 3, President Obama issued a presidential memorandum
establishing the task force. NASA Administrator Charles Bolden
(above) and Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke are co-chairing
the effort.
"President Obama is committed to helping Florida's Space Coast
adapt and thrive in the years ahead," said U.S. Assistant Secretary
of Commerce for Economic Development John Fernandez. "The work of
the task force adds to this administration's unprecedented level of
transparency, and ensures public trust, participation and
confidence. Our efforts depend on the participation of local
stakeholders who will ultimately devise and implement a bottom-up,
regionally driven strategic plan."
