Published Date: April 3, 2025 | Villages-News.com
Congressman Daniel Webster has joined 12 bipartisan members of the Florida Congressional delegation to introduce the CAPE Canaveral Act, which would move the headquarters of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Florida.
“For more than six decades, Florida and NASA have shared a unique and enduring partnership. From the Mercury and Apollo programs to the Space Shuttle era and today’s Artemis program, Cape Canaveral has been the launching point for America’s most ambitious achievements in space,” said Webster, a Republican who represents The Villages in the U.S. House of Representatives. “With direct access to the nation’s premier launch sites, a strategic geographic advantage, thriving aerospace industry, and pro-business polices, this move would enhance NASA’s mission, increase efficiency, and drive economic opportunity. Relocating NASA’s headquarters to Florida’s Space Coast recognizes this history and positions the agency for even greater success.”
Additional co-sponsors include Reps. Byron Donalds, R-FL, Mario Diaz-Balart, R-FL, Jared Moskowitz, D-FL, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, D-FL, Scott Franklin, R-FL, Maria Salazar, R-FL, Carlos Gimenez, R-FL, Brian Mast, R-FL, Darren Soto, D-FL, John Rutherford, R-FL, Cory Mills, R-FL, and Vern Buchanan, R-FL.
