From Citrus, to Space, to Tourism to....?

The region that once had the thousands of acres of Citrus Groves and then the spin off from the Space program is looking forward beyond its current gold pot: Tourism.

The real dynamo of the region is tourism, with fantastic weather year round and great attractions it is no wonder people want to visit here, however what if that were to change? All the thousands of low paid jobs would vanish and then what would be left?

New investments in fields such as healthcare and life-science lab work could be an answer (developments around Lake Nona for instance) however millions of dollars of capital investment are required.

However, we now have the new sporting arena at UCF and a possible commuter rail service, so the money is coming…we shall just have to wait and see what else occurs!
