FAAA Aerospace Industry Study
      -, 06/10/2003

A team comprised of FSU’s Institute for Science and Public Affairs and the Florida Aviation Aerospace Alliance has been awarded a $134,000 contract from Workforce Florida, Inc. to conduct a major study of Florida’s aerospace industry. The study is expected to generate a comprehensive listing of more than 1300 companies doing business in the state, identify their capabilities and determine their needs relative to: education/training, workforce development, technology and barriers to growth. The initial study effort will involve an industry survey which will be hosted on the FAAA website http://fcte.fsu.edu/faaa/consent.cfm All companies operating in Florida that derive revenues from defense, aerospace or space related operations are encouraged to participate in the survey process. Once data is collected, a formal report will be published. Results of the survey will assist the industry in soliciting support from state public policy officials on priority issues.
