Strengthen Florida's defense industries, as well as cultivate defense research, development, test and evaluation capabilities. Improve the state's military-friendly environment for service members, military dependents, military retirees, and businesses which bring military and base-related jobs to Florida. The purpose of this meeting is to review the Task Force strategic plan and progress on the ITNs. Additionally, the Task Force will discuss a draft communications plan and a base visitation plan. Following the public meeting, the Task Force will conduct a closed session for the purpose of receiving presentations and conducting interviews as part of a competitive solicitation with prospective contractors for the published ITNs.
