George LeMieux, Chairman of Gunster and the Florida Council of 100, is at the forefront of a significant initiative to relocate NASA Headquarters from Washington, D.C., to Florida. This move is supported by over 125 prominent business, academic, and civic leaders who have signed a joint letter to Florida's congressional delegation. The letter emphasizes the economic and strategic benefits of this relocation, describing it as a "once-in-a-generation" opportunity that can enhance both Florida's and NASA's future.
The letter to the Florida congressional delegation outlines the compelling economic case for the relocation, noting that Florida already supports a significant number of NASA jobs and that the move would multiply economic benefits for the state and the nation. The letter concludes by urging the delegation to champion this transformative initiative, positioning Florida as the future hub of American space leadership.
