Matrix assisted Florida Enterprise, LLC in its mission to support Florida’s position in research and development related to or arising from military missions and contracting, as well as to improve the State’s military-friendly environment for service members, military dependents, military retirees, and businesses that bring military and base-related jobs to the State.

Matrix conducted a comprehensive analysis of the statewide economic and financial impacts of Florida’s military installations and the broader defense industry. Our analysis also included an assessment of military retirees and veterans and their economic footprint in Florida relative to transfer payments and other compensation. Matrix’s efforts produced an updated Florida Defense Factbook that gave a more complete picture of the state of military economic issues across Florida’s 67 counties and provided a robust economic impact report detailing key points and recommendations for the State’s defense industry. Critically, our team accomplished these tasks in under six months, enabling the products to be used in Florida’s next legislative session.
