CAPE CANAVERAL VISION STATEMENT
WE ENVISION: A bike-able and walk-able Cape Canaveral that retains and enhances its residential
feel , characterized by low-rise buildings not more than 4 stories in height. This residential and business
friendly atmosphere is one of a live-able, attractive , safe, secure and sustainable coastal community that
embraces the beach and riverside as the main amenities , and supports local culture and education.
WE ENVISION: A I A as a "complete street" with a native-landscaped and tree-lined median with
traffic calming elements and dark-sky street lighting. "Complete street" amenities include bicycle
facilities, covered transit stops, and safe pedestrian crossings that invite pedestrians and bicyclists to
access the beach, river, local neighborhoods and adjacent communities . Our improved "complete streets "
will allow us to calmly travel to intimate waterfront destinations and a walk-able downtown core. Multi-
use paths lined with shade trees should be wide enough for bikes and pedestrians and lighted so anyone
can walk or bicycle safely anywhere in town , day or night.
WE ENVISION: Welcoming community entrance features that create a sense of arrival and unique
community identity . The "downtown " will contain an architecturally rich and unique mix of uses, with
wide tree shaded sidewalks and umbrella covered cafe tables at restaurants and bistros where friends
gather, interact, and enjoy drinks and dinner.
WE ENVISION: A community that ; removes or transforms blighted and unfinished buildings into
attractive structures, offers city-wide green spaces , provides a pet-friendly park with ample shade, and
actively recruits and supports businesses that enhance economic viability and serve our residents and
visitors.
WE ENVISION: Open shorelines and rivers accessible to the public including amenities that take
advantage of the water, such as limited and quaint water-view establishments and intimate public
gathering and entertaimnent places that may include pavilions , gazebos , or a perfonnance stage.

Vo/.31 No .2 I 2nd Quarter 2015
FY 2016 Defense Budget-Prior to adjourning for a two week recess for Easter and
Passover, both the House of Representatives and Senate passed budget resolutions for FY
2016. While the President's budget request (PBR ) for defense spending submitted in February
exceeded the Budget Control Act caps , which are set to return in FY16 after two years of
abatement, both congressional chambers sought to increase overall spending on defense while
comply ing with the caps. The PBR sought $534 million in base spending for the Department of
Defense and an additional $51 billion in war funding for Overseas Contingency Operations
(OCO). The budget resolutions passed by the House and Senate both call for $499 billion in
base defense spending , which complies with the Budget Control Act spending caps . Both
chambers , however, increased Overseas Contingency Operations funding , which is not subject
to sequestration caps and not required to be offset. The House has allotted $96 billion for OCO
while the Senate's budget seeks $89 billion .
The additional funds directed to OCO should ease the impact of the returning BCA caps on
defense . While the budget resolutions are not law , they set the allocation amounts for the
Appropriations committees , which will likely begin consideration of their bills in May .
Range Communications Facility Military Construction-The $21 million Range
Communications Facility (RCF) Military Construction project at Cape Canaveral Air Force
Station is included in the Air Force's Fiscal Year 2016 military construction program submitted
in the President's Budget Request. Congressman Bill Posey is leading an effort to ensure the
project is fully funded in the appropriations process . Congressman Posey and a bipartisan
group of 12 Members from the Florida Delegation sent a letter on March 18th to the Chairman
and Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Committee's Subcommittee on Military
Construction , Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies . The letter emphas ized the critical
mission performed by the RCF, the dilapidated state of the existing structure , and urgency to
replace the facility. The Members urged the subcommittee to fully fund the project in FY 2016
at the $21 million amount sought by the Air Force .
45th Space Wing Change of Command -The Air Force has selected Brigadier General Nina
M. Armagno , Commander, 45th Space Wing , Patrick Air Force Base for the rank of Major
General and for reassignment as the Director of Requirements , Headquarters Air Force Space
Command, Peterson Air Force Base , Colorado. Brigadier General Wayne R. Monteit~. who
currently serves as the Senior Military Assistant to the Secretary of the Air Force, will replace
General Armagno as Commander of the 45th Space Wing. The change of command will take
place this summer.

service government relations firm which has provided federal representation and strategic
consulting to the Economic Development Commission of Florida's Space Coast since 2004.

Port Canaveral
Ranks #1 in Inlet
Management Funding
Port Canaveral, competing with many other Florida
inlets , consistently ranks at or near the top in the
state's Beach Management Funding Assistance list,
largely due to the proactive and successful history
of its Inlet Sand Management program. This
program , recently updated to incorporate
knowledge gained and expand its scope further
south , earned the highest ranking in the state again
for FY 2015-16 .
Inlets alter the natural drift of sand. During its first 40 years , the Canaveral inlet created
erosion on beaches to its south . However , Florida's first deepwater Inlet Management
Plan, initiated by the Canaveral Port Authority in 1992 , along with large -scale beach
restoration sponsored by Brevard County , have restored these beaches to pre-inlet
widths . The program is recognized and emulated globally .
Healthy beaches provide storm protection for beachside homes and businesses, habitat
for local species, recreation and important tourism revenue.

Canaveral Hosts First Community Talk
on Rail & lntermodal Transportation
The Canaveral Port Authority in April held the first of a series of community meetings to discuss
the importance of rail and intermodal transportation to t he future of Brevard County and the
central Florida region .
The meeting provided an update on the Port Canaveral Rail Extension Project, which the federal
Surface Transportation Board (STB) is in the process of preparing an Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) to determine potential impacts of the project.
Speakers included Port Canaveral CEO John E. Walsh and Jim Dubea , Deputy Executive
Director of Government Relations & Strategic Partnerships . Brad Swanson , State Freight,
Logistics and Passenger Operations Administrator for the Florida Department of Transportation ,
gave a presentation on the statewide initiative to expand multimodal capabilities.
"We were pleased that so many from the community attended and are interested in this project
that is critical to multimodal growth and development for our region, state and nation ," Walsh
said. "The concerns of our community are important to us as we continue to live up to our
responsibil ity to respond to the market and provide critically needed infrastructure in order to
help our economy recover. We encourage the community to show its support of a rail extension
in order to make this happen."
The most current information from the STB can be found on the Port Canaveral Rail Extension
project website at www.portcanaveralraileis.com . More information about Port Canaveral and
upcoming community meetings can be found at www.portcanaveral.com .

Cove Expansion Moves Toward Construction
In the process of making the dream of a
bigger and better Cove into a visitor-
attracting, income-producing, job-creating
reality, three important steps are under way.
Site planning is being finalized for a new
Phase 1 location along Mullet Drive and
Flounder Street, between Cruise Terminal 1
and the Exploration Tower . The 14-acre site
is expected to include 60,000 square feet of
new retail and restaurant space plus a 200-
room full-service and upscale hotel. As part
of this process, design standards for the
project's coastal-casual look are being
written and they will be incorporated in all
future Cove leases.
Port CEO John E. Walsh provides update on
The Cove Development
A ground lease agreement between the Port Authority and its chosen development team
of Sooner Investment and Collett will be signed in May or June, which will permit the
developer to proceed with construction and leasing.
The Sooner team is marketing the project to potential tenants , approaching key large
retailers first to build critical mass for the project and then a mix of smaller businesses .
"We already have soft commitments for 20 percent of Phase 1 ,"said Chris Challis of the
Sooner team. "We have so much good information to put in front of potential tenants, it
has made this atypical project quite easy to market."

maintaining that environment while providing safe
and reliable electric service.
In the next few weeks, we will be performing line
clearing in your neighborhood. We will be clearing
threatening branches and limbs that can potentially
cause safety hazards and power outages by brushing
against or falling upon our power lines during windy
weather.
The trees will be trimmed in a manner that redirects new growth away from power
lines. At times, we also need to remove select palms and other fast growing
vegetation that cannot be effectively maintained by trimming. Remaining tree debris
will be removed.
We ask that you facilitate these efforts by providing access to trees near power lines
behind your property. Your cooperation is valuable in helping prevent outages to you
and your neighbors. If access to your property is required, a contractor will contact
you personally or leave a note at your door in advance of any work. For questions,
call Vegetation Management at 1-866-274-9098 and refer to Work Order 5883212.
In the meantime, please do not attempt to trim any trees or vegetation growing on
or near power lines. Safety is a core value at FPL, which is why we hire specially-
trained line clearing professionals to perform this work.
And remember, line clearing is an effective preventative maintenance effort for
improved reliability, but it is not a substitute for smart landscaping. Learn more on
our website about selecting and planting the Right Tree in the Right Place .
