Byron Donalds on Space Coast growth

    بواسطة Flint: Byron Donalds

    Florida governor candidate Byron Donalds laid out a plan to make the Space Coast the global leader in space tourism during an interview on FOX NEWS. He credited Ron DeSantis for doing a great job and emphasized that their shared philosophy relies on limited government, low taxes, and conservative policies built around common sense and families. Donalds argued that building the necessary infrastructure cannot take two to three years if the state wants to move fast. He pointed out that Florida holds a unique advantage over everywhere else thanks to Cape Canaveral and the Space Coast. The goal is to lead the world in commercial space right here in Florida. This vision includes heavy hitters like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos launching rockets to the moon or beyond. But Donalds stressed that the benefit isn't just about those launches. It is also about the jobs created for contracting machinists, welders, scientists, and engineers all here in Florida. These roles are key to continuing to expand the economy.

When it comes to building our economy, we have an advantage over everywhere else, and it's called Cape Canaveral, the space coast. We are going to lead the world in commercial space right here in Florida. And what comes with that is not just Elon and Jeff Bezos launching rockets to the moon, or quite frankly, beyond. It's about the jobs in contracting, machinists, welders, scientists, and engineers, all here in Florida to continue to expand our economy. And that includes supporting
