Brandt Ronat and Company joins with the EDC of Florida’s Space Coast in support of economic strategies for a better Brevard County
Brevard County, Florida – Brandt Ronat and Company has joined with the Economic Development Commission of Florida’s Space Coast in setting a 3-Year Strategic Plan focused on building a better Brevard County. Together with the other coalition partners, we have identified industry clusters, primary strategic priorities and goals by which we will measure our success. We do this to improve our businesses, our lives, our communities and our opportunities, and because we believe we are stronger together than we are apart.
We will focus our efforts on five industry clusters: Aerospace/Aviation, Communications, Electronics, Advanced Security and Emerging Technologies. These are sectors where the community already has traction and expects to grow, succeed and lead.
We have selected four areas of strategic priority: business development, a competitive business environment, marketing and communications, and resource development and allocation. Each one of these areas represents an opportunity to affect the future of our county in a positive manner.
We have chosen three significant, ambitious goals. Reaching these goals can occur only by focusing on our selected industry clusters and strategic priorities. The three goals are: 2,250 new jobs, 12 changed business practices and becoming a Community of Distinction as identified by a national publication.
Over the course of the three years we will track milestones, recalibrate when necessary, and provide feedback to coalition partners and the community. This plan, when successful, will position Brevard County as a leader in job creation, business climate evolution and marketing—locally, nationally and globally. This will ultimately result in a strong and vital economic environment and a superb quality of life.
