Volusia ’ s Aerospace Economy
by David Castagnacci
The nation ’ s most active spaceport at Cape Canaveral is just one county south ,
launching lucrative opportunities for Volusia industries to expand into the aerospace market – and become a part of the global space economy , now exceeding $ 423 billion .
This momentum also provides an important supporting role for Daytona ’ s forward-thinking educational institutions – offering outlets for space-related research and technology , educating top-tier engineers , and teaching our future workforce numerous skills for the trades that support space-related industries .
