EDC outlines workforce programs, Space Florida engagement and site-readiness work
Summary
Kaylee King, president of the Economic Development Corporation, highlighted workforce programs that served nearly full capacity, Space Florida engagement at the county airport, grant-writing support for site readiness, and a community service matrix to coordinate local services.
Kaylee King, president of the Economic Development Corporation (EDC), told the board the EDC is focusing on business retention and expansion, industry-targeted outreach and workforce-readiness programming.
King said the EDC's youth workforce program served 79 of 80 slots this summer and that the Children's Services Council provided roughly $28,000 in support for the initiative. She also described recent engagement with Space Florida and early-stage work with a Space Florida/AMS project at the Okeechobee County Airport, and noted the EDC has produced a grant matrix and is pursuing rural-infrastructure funding for site development. "My name is Kaylee King, and I'm the president of the Economic Development Corporation," she said during her remarks. Commissioners thanked the EDC for outreach and asked staff to coordinate further with airport staff and local partners on site-readiness and grant opportunities.
