City statement: North Brevard economic development zone ending; official pledges continued support for growth
Summary
A staff member announced that the North Brevard Economic Development Zone is ending and said Titusville will pursue tax exemptions, streamline city processes and bolster partnerships after voters signaled broad support for economic development tax exemptions in November 2024.
A staff member told meeting attendees that the North Brevard Economic Development Zone is ending and that Titusville will continue efforts to promote local economic growth.
"As many of you have heard, the North Brevard Economic Development Zone is going away," the staff member said. They added that the change "does not mean our momentum ends here" and urged officials and residents to "re focus and reimagine how we support smart, sustainable growth in our community."
The staff member cited the November 2024 general election, saying "over 7 out of 10 voters responded loud and clear that they were in favor of economic development tax exemptions, which means economic growth for our community." They said the city would pursue measures such as streamlining city processes, enhancing infrastructure and strengthening partnerships with entrepreneurs and regional partners to attract jobs.
"Titusville is open for business, and we are doubling down on partnerships, innovation, and targeted investments to attract and grow quality jobs," the staff member said. They added: "Our mission hasn't changed, only the tools. And with that same drive that put us on the map, we'll continue building on a stronger, more diverse economy that benefits every resident of Titusville."
No formal motions or votes were recorded during this statement. The staff member closed with the remark, "God bless you, and God bless Titusville."
