Space Agenda

In 2012, AIF will continue to be a strong advocate of the space agenda working with Space Florida and other partners in the aerospace industry to continue to make space issues a priority for our state. Specifically, AIF will SUPPORT:

Funding for Space Florida through recurring general revenue (HB 265/SB 934).
Redefining “launch support facilities” within the Florida Department of Transportation so they can direct funding for space-related infrastructure projects (HB 97/SB 634).
Adding Cecil Airport in Jacksonville as a Spaceport Territory (HB 59/SB 110).
Legislation that allows public-private partnerships within the Department of Economic Opportunity to receive structured,
up-front payments for infrastructure projects.
