Lynda Weatherman

President & CEO of the Economic Development Commission of Florida's Space Coast

“Updates on the Brevard County Business Environment and How They Relate to You”

Not that long ago, Brevard lagged behind many areas of the couontry when it came to job growth, and Economic Development Commission of Florida's Space Coast CEO, Lynda Weatherman made it her mission to change that fact, meeting with industry leaders such as Elon Musk and Lockheed Martin to acquaint them with the benefits of the Space Coast.

Lynda L. Weatherman, as President & CEO of the Economic Development Commission of Florida's Space Coast since 1994, is responsible for the attraction of new business and investment and retention of existing industry throughout the Space Coast. Lynda’s role also includes influencing change on government laws and regulations affecting economic development, promoting the Space Coast to encourage new investment, assisting industry in new market entry, relaying new programs and procedures to assist manufacturing and high-tech companies, and supporting efforts of Space Coast military installations, which includes the retention of the Space Coast's Naval Ordnance Test Unit through the reversal of a BRAC Commission decision.

Under Lynda’s leadership, the EDC's recent accomplishments include $1.8B in capital investment resulting from the announcement of over 50 business development projects over a ten-year period (FY 10/20), the attainment of the assembly and checkout of NASA's Crew Exploration Vehicle, and facilitation of the first-ever Space Act agreement between Kennedy Space Center and an economic development organization. Other recent accomplishments include the attraction of Boeing Space and Launch Headquarters, Lockheed Martin Fleet Ballistic Missile Headquarters, Blue Origin's manufacturing and processing facility for its Orbital Launch Vehicle, RUAG Space USA Inc., and the expansions of Embraer, Thales, and Northrop Grumman.

In 2007, Lynda was honored with the NASA Distinguished Public Service Medal, the highest honor NASA awards to both government and non-government employees. In 2010, Lynda was appointed to then Governor-elect Rick Scott's Economic Development Transition Team, tasked with identifying innovative ideas from the private sector, success stories from other states, cost-saving opportunities and legislative priorities to assist the then-Governor-elect. That same year, Lynda was selected to be a member of the Air Force Chief of Staff Civic Leader Program, serving as an advisor, key communicator, and advocate for the Air Force and providing ideas and feedback to the Secretary of the Air Force and Air Force Chief of Staff.
