Here too fortune has smiled on Volusia County ’ s future .
Starting in Washington , Congressman Mike Waltz serves on the Committees overseeing both the military and NASA in the House . While Senator Rick Scott serves on the Senate ’ s committee for Armed Services and the Commerce , Science and Transportation committee . Senator Marco Rubio serves on what is often the most important position , the Senate Appropriations Committee . Collectively , each has shown great interest and support in helping craft a key role for Volusia County in the continuing national effort of assuring US leadership in space . Here again , geography works to Volusia County ’ s advantage . As the eastern anchor of the allimportant I-4 High Tech Corridor of Florida , where voters decide who will capture Florida ’ s 29 Electoral College votes for President , Volusia County is well placed to receive favorable treatment on space policy from any Administration in the White House , regardless of which party is in charge .
At the state level , Senator Tom Wright , leader of the Space Caucus and Chair of the Committee responsible for Florida ’ s engagement in growing the commercial space market , leads a delegation that has been relentless and aggressive in promoting a Volusia County that competes in this grand game . Tallahassee has worked to position Florida as a leader for a generation . Now ,
with the shuttle retirement a distant memory , Florida is achieving success .
Finally , at the local level the leadership in Volusia County has been remarkable . The county is large and diverse , but the collaboration between the Team Volusia Economic Development Corporation , the CEO Business Alliance , the Chambers of Commerce , Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University , Volusia County ’ s Economic Development Division and Daytona State College , as well as other essential stakeholders , has allowed for the delivery of consistent professional presentations . Together , all these pieces epitomize a county that is poised to prosper now and well into the future .
Frank DiBello , Space Florida President and CEO , was selected in May 2009 to lead Space Florida , which is the principal state agency for aerospacerelated economic development , and the Space Authority for the State of Florida . In his position , he develops and executes programs designed to attract , retain and grow aerospace business across the state .
