BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – The Economic Development Commission of Florida’s Space Coast connects people and opportunity, and few examples illustrate that better than Amazon’s growing footprint across the region.

Since 2020, the Economic Development Commission of Florida’s Space Coast has worked closely with Amazon on multiple projects representing more than $400 million in capital investment across Brevard County.

Most recently, the company selected the Space Coast for its landmark Amazon Leo satellite processing operations.

Since 2020, Amazon has invested $33 million in a Cocoa distribution center, creating 170 jobs; a $30 million distribution center in Melbourne, supporting 140 full-time positions and approximately 200 delivery drivers; nearly $140 million in its satellite processing facility at Kennedy Space Center, creating more than 130 high-tech jobs; and more than $200 million in launch infrastructure upgrades at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

“What makes Amazon’s investment particularly significant is the breadth of opportunities it creates for Space Coast residents at every skill level,” said an Economic Development Commission of Florida’s Space Coast spokesperson.

Since 2020, the Economic Development Commission of Florida’s Space Coast has worked closely with Amazon on multiple projects representing more than $400 million in capital investment across Brevard County.

The company’s facilities include logistics and distribution operations that support hundreds of warehouse, transportation, and delivery jobs, as well as advanced aerospace and technician positions supporting the Amazon Leo satellite processing operations.

Together, these investments generate hundreds of direct jobs and support thousands of indirect and induced jobs throughout the regional economy.

The Economic Development Commission of Florida’s Space Coast attracts and advances investment across Brevard County by cultivating relationships, championing the region, aligning community partners, and helping companies like Amazon navigate complex site-selection decisions.

“Through these efforts, the EDC expands economic opportunities and creates pathways to prosperity for workers, families, and businesses throughout Florida’s Space Coast,” said an Economic Development Commission of Florida’s Space Coast spokesperson.
