From the sparkling beaches of the Space and Treasure Coasts of Brevard and Indian River Counties, to the productive agricultural lands of Polk and Osceola Counties, and including the suburbs of metropolitan Orlando,
Congressional District 15 spans some of Florida's most attractive
Regions.
With this varied geography, Florida’s 15th District understandably has a diverse economic landscape. Businesses include aerospace &
high-tech segments such as the Harris Corporation and recognizable company names like Lockheed, Boeing, Piper, Grumman and many others are represented in the district. Agriculture is key, and particularly the citrus and livestock industry. Other economic boosters include aquaculture; manufacturing, tourism, higher education and much more.
The nation’s only quadia-modal port (land, sea, space and rail), Port Canaveral, is the second largest passenger port in the world and is located in the district.
Also, NASA’s Kennedy Space Center boarders the district while Patrick Air Force Base, and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station are included.
Rep. Weldon has proudly served the district since 1994.
