Enhancing Brevard County's Development: Streamlined Permitting and Community Solutions

The Economic Development Commission of Florida's Space Coast (EDC) works with industry leaders in development, engineering, architecture, and contracting to address challenges in Brevard County's structural growth. Recent initiatives include creating a Planning & Development Department for efficient site permitting, implementing pre-application meetings, and allowing staff-level approvals for minor site plans. With a focus on improving communication and reducing review times, the EDC aims to foster an environment conducive to development while maintaining community standards through the S.N.A.P. certification process.
