Location
Florida's western corner – at the center of the U.S. Gulf Coast
Santa Rosa County sits in one of the most active air traffic zones in the world, surrounded by military aviation installations and growing commercial operations. The area’s proximity to military-related IT research, development and testing has created an emerging cluster of IT and aerospace companies.
In addition to NAS Whiting Field in Santa Rosa County, there are five aviation-related military installations in surrounding counties: NAS Pensacola, Naval Support Activity Panama City, Eglin Air Force Base, Hurlburt Field, and Tyndall Air Force Base.
We are located only 70 miles from the new Airbus manufacturing facility in Mobile, within a day’s drive from Boeing in Charleston, and only five hours from three additional aviation OEM’s — Embraer in Jacksonville and Melbourne, and Gulfstream in Savannah.
We’re located centrally for five southeast aircraft OEMs.
