"Amazon's additional investment in the Project Kuiper facility is just another example of the value of the long-term partnerships we forge with our industry partners. Not only are we here to support their initial activities within the expanding Florida aerospace ecosystem, but we remain by their side and ready to meet their needs as they grow. It’s great to see how far this project has come and I look forward to deepening our strong partnership with Amazon as they broaden global commercial satellite communications availability." — Rob Long, president and CEO, Space Florida https://lnkd.in/eqH4CAxN
