Officials in Camden County are moving ahead with plans to build a launchpad for commercial rockets barely a month after residents voted to halt the project by a margin of nearly 3-to-1.
for commercial rockets barely a month after residents voted to halt the project by a margin of nearly 3-to-1.
“At its April 12, 2022 special called meeting, the Board of Commissioners approved the purchase of the Union Carbide property where the Spaceport would be located. The Board determined that moving forward in this fashion was in the best interest of the County in order to protect the launch site operator license that was recently issued and the millions of dollars the County has invested so far in the Spaceport.
Goodman was one of the spaceport opponents who sued earlier this year to stop the county from buying the land before the referendum could be held. He said they likely will go back to court to again ask a judge to halt the purchase. Commissioners said in their statement Thursday that they expect the Georgia Supreme Court to declare the referendum invalid. The county has an appeal pending before the court that argues the state constitution doesn’t allow voters to veto government projects such as the spaceport. No date has been scheduled to hear the case.
