KCA received good news this fall after being selected for the Melbourne Southwest Trail and NASA Boulevard Sidewalks Local Agency Program (LAP) Projects for the City of Melbourne. This win signifies the first-ever KCA contract win with the City of Melbourne.

Florida Avenue. In addition, the contract includes design of three segments of sidewalk improvements for a total of 8.210 feet (1.56 miles) along NASA Boulevard.
