The Canaveral Port Authority's mission is to develop trade, create jobs, and strengthen the economy of Brevard County and the Central Florida region. One way it fulfills that mission is through Foreign Trade Zone 136 at Port Canaveral, the world's first quadramodal zone, which connects cargo by sea, land, air and space. It is among the largest general purpose zones in the country with 4,160 acres.
