The Space Coast Progressive Alliance is hosting a local summit on Wednesday September 16th at 6:30 PM. Both City officials and ten Organization leaders are expected to discuss the eight concerns addressed in a SCPA endorsed letter.
Leaders and City officials will share, and validate best options available for our cities and public interest in addressing current civic challenges.
