About the Award
Former CEO of Cunningham, Ingram and Anderson, Inc., Gary Cunningham began with a background in petroleum distribution, auto parts wholesaling, and economic development. In 1974, Gary turned his focus to industrial facility development, becoming the VP of Industrial Development for the Daytona Beach Area Committee of 100. In 1980, he turned his energy to the fast growing Space Coast in Brevard County. He developed and leased more than 500,000 square feet of predominately high-tech facilities in less than a decade. In 2006, the EDC created the Gary R. Cunningham Distinguished Service Award for Economic Development in honor of this exceptional business leader and his tireless efforts in support of economic development.
