$5 million, 100 jobs on the way at Cape Canaveral
As reported by FLORIDA TODAY staff writer Wayne T. Price and in the accompanying video by Tim Shortt Florida’s Gov. Rick Scott announced submarine missile test system for Cape Canaveral: Navy Strategic System Program at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station will refurbish, and update a submarine missile test complex built in the 1950s.
The historical station was used for manned and unmanned launches until part way through the Apollo Program
A $5 million state contribution will help create 100 federal jobs and, more importantly, secure a key component of Brevard County’s military economy for decades to come.
Approximately 85 percent of the work force will be civilian contractors, including former space shuttle workers. The facility now employs about 800 people: military, federal, and contractors.
After the end of the space shuttle program Florida had the biggest drop in unemployment of any state. See my past posts on the subject:

Price also reports that the Cape Canaveral division of Lockheed Martin Space Systems will be responsible for SWS Ashore facility design and construction, along with infrastructure support.
