Cocoa is also home to
Eastern Florida State College,
University of Central Florida's Brevard Campus,
Florida Solar Energy Center,
Historic Cocoa Village Playhouse, and
EFSC Planetarium and Observatory...a true circle of learning! Located nearby is a Wal-Mart Super Center, Fed Ex Ground Distribution Center, and Sam's Club and a thriving corridor of franchised stores along SR 524. Just minutes away is Cocoa's Grissom Ridge Commerce Park and over 1,000 acres of developable industrial and manufacturing land. Our central location in Brevard County, coupled with a location just a few minutes from Port Canaveral and beautiful beaches, not to mention a highway network that leads to three major international airports and Orlando's attractions, are some of the reasons many families and businesses call Cocoa home!
Since August 2012, the City’s Office of Economic Development has maintained a list of available commercial and industrial properties, to include vacant sites, for sale or lease within the City. In January 2015, the Office implemented a new online interactive map of all available commercial and industrial sites within Cocoa city limits. This interactive map is updated monthly and contains information relating to each site to include address, acreage and sqft, zoning, special districts, and more. New and expanding businesses can browse this interactive map at their leisure. Interested property owners may list available commercial and industrial sites by contacting the Office of Economic Development at (321) 433-8532. To access the interactive map, visit www.cocoafl.org/availableproperties.
