Summary
County officials reported that NeoCity STEM day attracted about 1,200 visitors and highlighted a partnership with universities and industry; a commissioner noted an agreement aimed at direct flights between Incheon and Orlando (MCO).
County officials reported progress promoting NeoCity at the Feb. 3 Osceola Board of County Commissioners meeting and highlighted recent outreach and partnership activity.
The county manager told the board that NeoCity hosted a STEM day weekend event that drew roughly 1,200 attendees and more than 400 families, with interactive stations run in partnership with the University of Florida, the National Science Foundation and about 19 other organizations. The manager said the turnout showed success in promoting NeoCity and the county’s investments there.

The board praised local partners and said it will continue outreach and events to promote NeoCity’s STEM and economic-development activities. No formal board action or funding decision tied to the flights or STEM event was recorded in the meeting transcript.
