You’ve seen what happens to other companies when the money runs out. Sure, a big check would be nice right now, but is that really all you need? And what if the people who are supposed to help you with this only have one financial tool in their toolkit – the same one they use to write those big checks in the first place? You thought a one time capital injection today would help you solve for tomorrow. But if the money doesn’t come in the right form, at the right time, and with the right guidance from finance and industry experts, will it be enough?
With Space Florida you get unmatched financial tools – so you can access capital and lower your long-term costs with customized financing and tax efficiencies you simply can’t get anywhere else.

Special Dirt is any land owned directly by the federal, state or local government, or instrumentally thereof (airport authority, county industrial authority, public university research park). It provides the ability to secure property and rights to infrastructure from federal, state and local governments for commercial use on behalf of the business.
Space Florida only considers helping secure third-party financing of new building facilities built on “Special Dirt”.
The Special Dirt provision does not apply to the acquisition and placement of equipment and tooling.
