It’s Hurricane Season here on Florida’s Space Coast! Only time will tell if this season will produce significant storms. Especially for our seasoned beachside and coastal residents, hurricanes and tropical weather patterns are a part of life here in the Sunshine State. Now is a great time to work on preventative maintenance to prepare for next season. If you are a property owner and need assistance with maintenance, our full service handyman company, Keenan Services, does it all!
Whether you’re vacationing here or a long-time resident, it’s always a good idea to have a plan, and it’s never too early to put yours together. Brevard County’s Emergency Management Office offers a host of information, materials, and resources to get you started, and the ASPCA has tips for pet owners. My News 13 also has a wealth of information both about hurricane season and our year-round weather patterns. Lastly, for the most up-to-date hurricane and tropical forecasts, you can visit NOAA’s National Hurricane Center.
As your property manager, we are often some of the last to leave in the event of a significant storm, and some of the first to return after officials give the all clear, working hard to make sure our tenants and properties are prepared and protected to the best of our abilities. We monitor the weather closely throughout the season and at the first indication of a potential impact, we begin to implement our preparedness procedures.

Florida’s Space Coast was hit hard during the 2008 economic recession; many of the area’s aerospace and defense companies laid off hundreds of skilled workers. Ten years later, the local economy is once again booming. With the return of aerospace jobs, and an influx of new tech and tourism companies entering the area, and an affordable housing market, some are even calling the Space Coast “The next Silicon Valley.”
High profile companies like Elon Musk’s SpaceX and Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin, among others, have put space exploration back in the national spotlight. As NASA announces new missions to the moon and begins to look to the future on Mars, new start-ups and old names alike are bringing high-paying aerospace jobs to Central Florida by the thousands in what’s been dubbed the new space race.
But aerospace isn’t the only sector that’s growing: the housing market is growing by leaps and bounds, and new construction in the area has more than double over the last 5 years. Port Canaveral, Cocoa Beach, and Melbourne are growing attractions for tourists with a wide variety of cruises, local shopping, art, and more, breaking records for visitors at any given time in Florida’s history.
