Rick Scott, Ashley Moody Introduce Legislation to Bring NASA HQ to Florida’s Space Coast

Florida, Senators Rick Scott and Ashley Moody announced the introduction of the Consolidating Aerospace Programs Efficiently at Canaveral (CAPE Canaveral) Act. This bill will relocate the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) headquarters from Washington, D.C. to Florida’s Space Coast in Brevard County. As NASA explores options for a new facility, Florida is a common sense choice for a new HQ to save American tax dollars, drive innovation, and solidify America’s dominance in space.

“There’s no better place for NASA’s headquarters than Florida’s Space Coast, where our nation’s brightest minds innovate and help America reach for the stars,” Scott said. “Moving to Florida will not only save Americans’ tax dollars, it will enhance efficiency and streamline operations in this important industry with proximity to private-sector partners and a top-tier workforce ready to help America reach its space exploration goals. We have worked hard to make Florida the thriving aerospace hub it is today, and I look forward to the quick passage of our legislation and welcoming NASA to the best state in the nation!”

“Florida is the leader in space exploration and aerospace innovation,” Senator Ashley Moody said. Establishing NASA’s headquarters within the Space Coast will bridge the bureaucracy gap from the top down and bring stakeholders together. Florida is the gateway to space and this commonsense proposal would save taxpayers money, encourage collaboration with private space companies, and tap into Florida’s talented workforce to spur further innovation. As stewards of taxpayer dollars, we must ensure that any new building will be filled with employees—not empty like we have been seeing in Washington the last four years. Let’s pass the CAPE Canaveral Act and get NASA headquartered in Florida where it will thrive.”
