Jerry Allender, the Canaveral Port Authority Chairman, recently spoke about the Port’s economic outlook. According to Allender, the Port can expect to see double the annual volume of cruise passengers over the next five years, continuing cargo growth, and the development of The Cove as a part of the plan for a major shopping, dining, and entertainment center. Outside of the Port, Brevard County is seeing a resurgence of high demand for skilled engineers and tech professionals as companies like Harris and Northrop Grumman open hundreds of positions at their Space Coast locations. Smaller high-tech companies are also growing as local groups like Liberty IT Solutions gain national renown. Northrop Grumman recently won the Air Force’s coveted contract to develop a new stealth bomber, while Liberty IT Solutions signed a contract with the Dept. of Veterans Affairs to build software and network infrastructure.
