CNN Picks Space Coast as One of Their “Top 19 Places to Visit in 2019”
The Space Coast has long been a travel destination like no other, with its impressive waterways, beautiful beaches, and booming aerospace industry. This year, Florida’s Space Coast joins the likes of New York City and Lima, Peru on CNN’s “Top 19 Places to Visit in 2019.” Titusville, the Gateway to Nature & Space, sits proudly at the North end of the Space Coast.
Nestled between the St. Johns River and the Indian River Lagoon, Titusville is just a stones throw from other major tourist destinations such as Orlando, Daytona Beach, and Port Canaveral.
Titusville is home to Playalinda Beach along the Canaveral National Seashore. With its designation as a national seashore, this graceful expanse of sand and waves remains unscathed by development and exists in a spectacular, pure state with 24 miles of undeveloped, white-sand beach.
The Indian River Lagoon provides nature enthusiasts and eco-tourists with wonderful sights to behold, as well as a terrific place to kayak and enjoy all that nature has to offer. We also offer picturesque views of the Kennedy Space Center from across the lagoon, where thousands gather along the shore to view the awe inspiring rocket launches that you can’t see anywhere else.
The Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge houses some of Florida’s most delightful creatures. Each year, hundreds of birdwatchers and nature lovers migrate to the area to get a glimpse at Titusville’s wildlife population.
Three major multi-use trails converge in Titusville, which was officially designated a Florida Trail Town in 2018. The Coast-to-Coast Trail is part of a 250-mile trail linking Titusville with St. Petersburg. Titusville is also the southern tip of the 260-mile St. Johns River-to-Sea Loop. This merges with the East Coast Greenway that is one-third complete along its 2,900-mile route between Maine and Florida.
With such easy access to the Kennedy Space Center and Florida’s wildlife, Titusville really is the Gateway to Nature & Space. Come see why it attracts so many visitors each year, and why CNN picked Florida’s Space Coast as one of the best places to visit in the world.
A Brand New Waterfront Dining Experience
Pier 220 opens its doors to hungry customers.
[Photo of the Pier 220 restaurant sign.]
Seafood enthusiasts and casual diners alike have begun flocking to the new Pier 220 Seafood & Grill, which recently opened its doors New Year’s Eve at Veteran’s Memorial Pier, the former home of Crackerjack’s. Located below the A. Max Brewer Bridge, the restaurant is operated by local neurologist Dr. Sachin Shenoy, who also owns Orleans Bistro and Bar on U.S. 1 in Titusville.
The venue underwent extensive remodeling, removing the old tiki bar outside and replacing it with a more solid, covered eating area and bar. Inside, everything down to the plates and silverware is brand new. On the menu are such delicacies as Ahi tuna and coconut shrimp, or for land-lubbers, burgers, chicken and much more. There are also vegan offerings such as vegan tacos, veggie burgers and salads, and meal options for kids.
One local resident was glowing about the blackened salmon dinner saying, “My meal was prepared perfectly with the salmon flaking off, not overcooked, and just enough blackening.”
With regards to the service, the resident was equally glowing. “The service was very good. The owner was circulating around checking on patrons. Ally, our server, did have menu recommendations for us and was very prompt and courteous,” they said.
Online, the restaurant has received a score of 4.9 out of 5, and has garnered the recommendation of over 70 people on Facebook alone. Patrons have also taken to social media touting the quality of the establishment, with Leisha Stewart saying, “Awesome service! Great food and loved the view and water!”
Besides having a great view of the Indian River Lagoon, Pier 220 features live music for your dining pleasure. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner, with inside dining as well as the casual outside tables and bar seating.
With the positive reviews on social media, Pier 220 is sure to become a local staple of dining and entertainment in no time.

A Sonic-Boom for Space Coast Hospitality
Growth in local tourism and business brings new hotels to Titusville.
[Aerial photo of a hotel under construction; Insert of a hotel room.] Caption: Above — The new TownePlace Suites by Marriott® after completion. Insert: One of the many rooms inside the hotel.
Tourism has been a major part of the Space Coast’s — and in particular Titusville’s — economy for many years, with tens of thousands of people flocking to our community annually. They come here not only to experience the rumble of rockets catapulting toward the heavens, but also to enjoy the wonders that nature has to offer at several wildlife sanctuaries that are all around us.
Since the early 2000s, hospitality chains have begun to realize the potential that our town has to offer and have begun building hotels here. There was a surge of construction along the I-95 corridor starting
in 2004 with the Hampton Inn, then in 2008 with the Fairfield Inn & Suites, and in 2010 with the Holiday Inn — all located on Helen Hauser Blvd, off of S.R. 50. Now with the renewed focus on the space industry, increased investment in the area by private space contractors, the expansion of Orlando-area theme parks and the need for more hotels, as well as increased interest in ecotourism and bike trails, it is easy to see why Titusville is on the hospitality industry’s radar once more.
TownePlace Suites by Marriott®
The first of this new string of hotel construction began in 2017 when Hotel Development and Management Group (HDG) of Ocala, Florida laid the ground work for a TownePlace Suites hotel, part of the Marriott Hotel family. HDG saw the increasing growth of Titusville as the perfect opportunity to expand their business, and a groundbreaking was held on November 9, 2017.
“People are coming to Titusville to do business with the growing aerospace industry, out of town [patients] are coming to visit the Mayo Clinic, and out of town visitors come to experience all the ecotourism in this area,” said Navroz Saju, CEO and President of HDG at the groundbreaking. “They now have a place where they can spread out, cook their own meal, and see all the attractions and businesses in Titusville.”
Located on the part of Helen Hauser Blvd on the south side of S.R. 50, construction moved quickly on the 15,000-sqaure-foot, 112-room hotel. Less than a year later, it is complete and open for business, providing comfortable rooms, a gym, pool, outdoor grill area, an outdoor fire pit, and complimentary breakfast. Inside, the rooms come equipped with kitchens, desks, and pet friendly options to cater to the needs of those who here for a short visit, or will be away from home for a while.
A Road Less Travelled
Before TownePlace Suites could even turn a shovel, the road leading to the developments had to be brought up to city standards. The street was originally much shorter — ending at the two existing
hotels, the Quality Inn and the Days Inn — and was in much need of repair. As a condition to get approval for their development plans, the property owners agreed to the city’s requirements and invested in a complete renovation of the existing road, and then extended it further south. This extension allows for the development of other businesses, including a new Durango’s restaurant and
a new extended-stay hotel.
[Aerial photo of South Helen Hauser Blvd.] Caption: An aerial view of Helen Hauser Blvd., south of S.R. 50. The entire street was completely redone and extended to make way for the new hotels.
Extended Stay America
Another extended-stay hotel has broken ground in Titusville, right next door to the Marriott property on Helen Hauser Boulevard.
Page 8 Talking Points / January 2019
A Sonic Boom for Space Coast Hospitality
(Continued)
The obvious-named Extended Stay America Hotel is part of a chain of hotels based out of Charlotte, North Carolina, which operates over 600 properties across the United States, consisting of over 69,000 rooms. This new hotel will be four stories tall and consist of 124 rooms, and feature the standard amenities.
But wait, there’s more…
This latest hotel boom isn’t over yet, because there are now two new hotels coming to Titusville. The first was announced soon after construction commenced at Helen Hauser Blvd. — a new hotel in the
Hyatt family of properties. In January of 2018, BBL Hospitality announced they would be opening a new 118-room Hyatt Place hotel along U.S. 1 at the entrance to Riverfront Center Blvd. (formerly Vectorspace Blvd.), adjacent to the Boeing facility.
BBL executives and city officials gathered on December 6, 2018 for the official groundbreaking, stating they were ecstatic to pick Titusville as the site of their next hotel because of its close proximity to Kennedy Space Center just a few miles away. As part of their plan and in keeping with the unique location, the hotel will feature a launch-viewing lounge where guests could gather and watch the
rockets’ red glare.
[Photo of a people shoveling dirt during a groundbreaking ceremony.] Caption: Members of local government join hotel executives in breaking ground on the new Hyatt Place hotel.
Company executive weren’t the only ones enthusiastic about the development.
“We’re excited about having this project happen here, as it’s an opportunity here in our city that will benefit both our businesses and our citizens alike,” said Mayor Walt Johnson. “We look forward
to you being here and we know you will prosper in our community.”
The developers plan to open doors within the year, but as with any project, noted that setbacks happen. The finished project will include a pool and gym, along with free breakfast and the much-anticipated launch-viewing lounge.
…and more!
There are also proposals for a new Courtyard by Marriott to move into the area. The location being looked at is the site of the former U.S. Space Camp and Astronaut Hall of Fame, positioned along
S.R. 405 at the gateweay to the Kennedy Space Center. The proposal is calling for redeveloping the two parcels of land that make up the 18-acre site.
The future of Titusville’s tourism and hospitality industry looks bright. With more and more development coming to the area, you can bet there will be more news to come.

Like a Phoenix
Oft-troubled towers to see new life as luxury apartments.
[Photo of a condo building.]
Bay Towers — a name linked with devastation and hardship after damage from two hurricanes left residents homeless and in despair — looks to be rising again like the mythical phoenix from its own ashes. Signs placed on the fences surrounding the property give a new name and glimmer of hope to these buildings which have stood for over five decades: DREAM Space Coast, part of a conglomerate of real estate companies called Dream-Live-Prosper.
According to the website DreamSpaceCoast.com, the buildings are undergoing major renovations to return them to not only a livable status, but to increase their quality to be luxury homes for renters. The plan includes updating all the amenities and offering contemporary, resort-style living.
A Long and Unfortunate History.
The towers were built in 1965 and have operated under many names like Blue Beach Club, Imperial Towers and Bay Towers. It has been the home to many families over the years and has seen its share of problems. In 2008, a fire in the south tower caused significant damage to the building, leaving many residents without homes and embroiled in legal issues with the homeowners’ association.
For the next eight years, only the north tower had residents, until 2016 when Hurricane Matthew caused significant roof and other damage, making it necessary for residents to find move out. Code enforcement issues would ensue as the owners tried to comply with Titusville building requirements and make repairs so that residents could return. Seven months after Matthew, the property was sold from the Bay Towers Condominium Association to Everest Properties Capital Management, LLC, and repairs were made.
[Photo of damaged roof materials on the ground.] Caption: Damage to Bay Towers as a result of Hurricane Irma. (Photo: Florida Today)
In the summer of 2017, the north tower was once again reopened to residents, but that wouldn’t last long — Hurricane Irma would land yet another blow on the beleaguered residents of the building in September, leading the city to condemn the property.
Problems have continued to plague the property and the future of the towers has been up in the air for quite some time. However, according to the Brevard County Property Appraiser website, the buildings once again changed hands in August 2018, this time purchased by two entities: Delaware-based Charal Titusville, LLC at 65% ownership, and Florida-based Prosper Titusville, LLC at 35% ownership, for a price of $14-million.
What’s New for the Future?
According to the company’s website and social media, considerable investment is being made into the renovations. Prospective residents will have the choice of four floorplans available: studio one-bathroom, one-bedroom/one bathroom, two-bedroom/one bathroom, and two-bedroom/two- bathroom apartments.

[Photo of the old clock on the side of the old bank building.]
For two decades, Westminster chimes rang out every hour from the McClintock clock anchored to the corner of the old Titusville Bank and Trust in the heart of the city’s Historic Downtown. The sounds would echo for miles around, with a full melody played at noon. Then, 30 years ago, the clock fell silent — never to be heard again.
However, that will all change if the aptly named local group Save the Clock is successful in their quest.
Page 13 Talking Points / January 2019
Save the Clock
[Continued]
The group, led by Steven Human, is working with Greater Titusville Renaissance (GTR) to raise funds to restore the four-sided timepiece located at the corner of Washington Avenue and Main Street.
“As a child growing up in Titusville, the clock was an important part of our youth,” said Human. “My Mother worked at the bank and we as kids would ride skate boards to downtown and spend our days at the shops. The clock let us know when Mom was going to lunch and when we had to be home.”
The clock’s restoration would be in conjunction with the work going on inside the bank building and adjacent Walker Hotel, where aerospace company Red Canyon is redeveloping the historic properties as part of their LaunchNow Titusville project. Red Canyon is supportive of the group’s efforts to restore the clock.
Support for the restoration of the clock has also been building through social media, with posts to the group’s Facebook page including positive comments from locals like Margaret Vessels, posting, Growing up off Garden Street, our family could faintly hear the beautiful chimes on a daily bases [sic]. And when I was older and worked at the Historical Courthouse, this clock would always be the ‘audible’ beacon in my daily routine!”
“It’s the heart of downtown Titusville,” was Rick Roberts’ sentiment on the group’s page, “Save the Clock!”

Manufactured by the O.B. McClintock Company of Minneapolis, Minnesota, the clock was installed on the corner of the then First Federal Bank building in the late 1960s. The McClintock-Loomis Company (1908 - 1917), succeeded by the O. B. McClintock Company (1917 - 1949), made large clocks for banks and other financial institutions. Typically, the clocks were mounted to the side of a bank building and often displayed the name of the institution. Many of these clocks had systems where a master clock inside the bank building controlled the outside clocks and chimes. There are several clocks similar to
ours in cities throughout the nation including Ocala, Florida; New Orleans, Louisiana; Angola, Indiana; Bar Harbor, Maine; and many more.
The original manufacturing date of the clock and the cost to restore it will only be determined once a clock expert conducts a full inspection. In order to facilitate the restoration, Save the Clock — in partnership with GTR and Playalinda Brewery — will hold several fundraising events throughout
2019 to bring people out in support of their efforts. Ultimately, the group hopes to ring in 2020 with a dedication ceremony featuring the chimes of the refurbished clock.

“Bringing this clock back to life would help bring the historic downtown back to life and start a new generation of memories,” said Human. “We are hoping after completion we will start a new Titusville downtown tradition by having a family-style New Year’s street party with the clock chiming at midnight.

KAC WINS $16M ARMY CONTRACT FOR MORE M110 SNIPER RIFLES
By Chris Eger, Courtesy of Guns.com | Photos courtesy of the Department of Defense
The Army announced [Dec 2018] that Knights Armaments Co. was awarded a contract to continue to supply their M110 rifle to the service. The Titusville, Florida-based company was awarded a $16.5 million firm-fixed-price contract through the U.S. Army Contracting Command, Warren, Michigan with an expected completion date of Nov. 2024.
KAC introduced the 7.62x51mm NATO-caliber system in 2007 complete with a 20-inch chromoly 5R cut rifled barrel and it has gone on to see extensive use primarily with the Army but also the Marines and Coast Guard, though it is set to be augmented in coming years by the more compact Heckler & Koch G28.
[Photo of a sniper rifle.] Caption: The M110 sans its distinctive 14-inch suppressor.
Adopted by the Army as the Semi-Automatic Sniper System, or SASS, the M110 features ambidextrous surface controls, MIL-STD-1913 rails, and a two-stage match trigger. A companion suppressor system, which mates with the M110 flash hider and connects to the SR-25 gas block, is 14-inches long and gives the platform a distinctive profile.
The Marine Corps uses the M110 to replace some M14-based M39 and Mk 11 mod 1 rifles (older KAC SR-25s) as well as to complement the bolt-action M40A5.
[Photo of a soldier laying prone, aiming with a rifle.] Caption: The M110 SASS was adopted a decade ago to replace the Remington Model 700-based M24 Sniper Weapon System in U.S. Army service and is used by both snipers/spotters and designated/advanced marksmen.
The Coast Guard uses the M110 in counter-terror maritime security units.

LaunchNow Titusville
[Aerial photo of the Old Walker Hotel and First Federal Bank buildings, with the LaunchNow Titusville logo superimposed.]
Construction work is resuming at the old Walker Hotel in Downtown Titusville as crews from Loyd Contracting enter phase 1 of the building’s renovation.
Phase 1 consists of structural rehabilitation, where work is done to shore up load-bearing walls and struts to facilitate the interior upgrades planned for the near-century old property. Work had been going on since Summer 2018, but time was needed to secure the necessary federal grants from the Department of the Interior as well as the North Brevard Economic Development Zone.
Now that financing is in place and work is moving forward, construction fencing will be going up soon around the property. Within the coming months, the new elevator shaft will be installed in the back of the building to provide easier access to the upper floors.
Micah Loyd, the lead contractor on the project, says the project is expected to be completed by early 2020.

BackfLow Prevention & Cross Connection Control
You play an important role in ensuring the safety of your drinking water. Whether you are a property owner or a tenant, you need to recognize things that you may be doing that can adversely affect the safety or quality of your drinking water. Eliminating cross connections and opportunities for backflow events is one way to help ensure that safety.
A cross connection is a connection between the City’s drinking water system and any other system or source. A cross connection is the physical connection that is like a doorway into the City’s water system. An example of a cross connection is a customer connecting their well to their city water line in order to increase their irrigation system pressure.
Your drinking water flows from Titusville’s Mourning Dove Water production plant to your home or business. When flow is reversed so that it comes from your home or business into the water system, backflow is created. Backflow is the undesirable reversal flow of a substance through a cross
connection and into the piping of the City’s water system.
If backflow is created and a contaminant enters the drinking water distribution system through a cross-connection, not only can the quality of water at that specific residence or business be affected, but also the water of all the consumers on the distribution system. To prevent contamination from backflow, all single-family residential meters are installed with a residential dual check valve assembly. Commercial and multi-family properties have commercial grade backflow prevention assemblies. Whenever you attach a hose to an outside spigot or modify plumbing you need to be aware of how you may be affecting the quality of your drinking water. Connecting a hose to an outside faucet and any other system or reservoir, creates an opportunity for contamination to backflow into yours and your neighbor’s drinking water.
Priming your well by leaving a hose connected between a hose bib and your well; connecting fertilizer or chemical sprayers to a hose end; and turning off a hose spray nozzle, while leaving the faucet open are all ways you can create a situation that has the potential for contaminants to backflow into your home and the water system.
Backflow can occur due to siphoning or back pressure. If the water system pressure suddenly drops, as can happen when there is a nearby main break or a fire hydrant is used, the vacuum created can pull the water from the hose along with any of the contaminants or chemicals you have connected to the hose into your home and into the water system. This is siphoning. If, for example, a hose is left connected to an open spigot, the pressure in the hose will equal the water supply pressure. If a large volume of water is used in the house, the pressure drops and the hose will contract, forcing water from the hose along
with any contaminants into the house. This is back pressure.
Don’t risk your or your family’s safety. Avoid connecting contaminants to hose ends. Always turn off the water at the faucet, not the hose end. Never connect any other water source to your drinking water system.

School Safety
[Photo of a school bus with Titusville Police logo superimposed.]
The Titusville Police Department is continuing its dedication to the upmost safety for children coming to and from school by enforcing a “no tolerance” yearlong proactive enforcement detail in school zones, issuing educational public service announcements and disseminating social media informational posts.
Officers are highly visible in school zones and motorists will be issued a citation when speeding in a designated school zone. This proactive citywide enforcement will help ensure that motorists slow down to the posted reduced speed limits in school zones, put down distracting devices and be aware that students are walking and biking to school, as well as entering and exiting school busses.
Additionally, traffic officers have coordinated with the Brevard Public School Transportation Services to combat the occurrence of noncompliant drivers passing a school bus while picking up and dropping off children. Officers are riding on school busses and when a vehicle is observed passing the bus during that time, additional officers stop the driver and issue a citation. For the safety of children, it is crucial that every single driver, whether traveling toward or behind a school bus, must stop when the bus has the “Stop” sign extended and red lights flashing.
[Photo of a police officer using a radar gun.]
Public outreach through a “School Safety” public service announcement (PSA) was produced by the Titusville Police Department early in the school year that included several safety tips for motorists and pedestrians. Also, social media advisories and informational posts, which include reminders to motorists
to slow down for children and remain vigilant in school zones, will continue to be issued through multiple outlets.
Keeping our children and students safe is a community responsibility. The Titusville Police Department will continue this multifaceted enforcement detail throughout the remainder of the 2018-2019 school year.

Department prepares to implement new technical rescue program.
Rope rescue — just one of several specialized disciplines within the area of “Technical Rescue” — will soon be implemented by the city’s fire department, and rescue personnel are excited about the opportunity. After providing over 80 hours of training for each member of the department, and securing the necessary equipment, we will be developing standard operating guidelines to finalize the development of our rope rescue program.
Typically, having a Technical Rescue Team can be very expensive for smaller departments to maintain training and equipment.
Rope rescue is an umbrella term that includes different capabilities such as high-angle rescue, and low-angle rescue. These types of operations include patient packaging in a specialized litter, rappelling, rigging of rope systems to move persons from elevated platforms, and crane operations with an aerial device, to name a few. With the ongoing development in our area, and an increase in the number of buildings three-stories or greater in height, the chance of utilizing this training and rescue capability
has grown.
In the past few years, there have been more than a few situations when we could have utilized our aerial device to hoist someone from a rooftop down to the ground. Unfortunately, at the time we did not have the training or the equipment mandated to be able to do such a rescue safely and effectively.
That is now changing.
The department is proud of our members who have stepped forward to take on the additional responsibility and training to make this program possible. The men and women of the Titusville Fire Department remain committed to service excellence through recurring training, in order to ensure operational readiness when called upon, as no two emergencies are alike.
