Do kids get in free at Kennedy Space Center right now?

Yes. Through the end of September, kids ages 3 to 11 get free one-day admission to Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Brevard County with the purchase of an adult ticket, up to three free kids tickets per adult ticket.

One of the better parts of living on Florida's Space Coast is that the thing people fly across the country to see is about twenty minutes up the road. Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex is a bucket-list stop for most of the country. For families in Brevard County, it is a Saturday.

This month it is an even easier Saturday. The visitor complex has launched a promotion it is calling Future Voyagers Month, and the short version is that kids get in free with a paying adult through September 30.

Here is exactly how it works, what the restrictions are, and how it stacks up against the other discount currently running.

What is Phoenix Business Park in Palm Bay, Florida?

Phoenix Business Park is a planned industrial and commercial park in Palm Bay, Florida that just received a $3.5 million Florida Job Growth Grant Fund award for wastewater infrastructure. The project is expected to unlock roughly 960,000 square feet of new space and create more than 350 direct jobs.

Palm Bay has spent the last few years quietly building the case that it belongs in the same conversation as the rest of the Space Coast when companies go looking for somewhere to land. On August 31, that case got a lot easier to make.

Governor Ron DeSantis announced a $3.5 million award to the City of Palm Bay through the Florida Job Growth Grant Fund, earmarked for the wastewater infrastructure that Phoenix Business Park needs before anyone can build on it. The award came as part of nearly $23 million in statewide investments aimed at strengthening Florida's defense workforce, military communities, and industrial base.

Sewer capacity is not the most exciting thing to read about on a real estate blog. It is, however, the thing that decides whether 960,000 square feet of industrial and commercial space in Brevard County ever gets built. Here is what the award actually funds, and why it matters if you own a home in Palm Bay or you are thinking about buying one.
