Camden County’s proposed spaceport project was grounded before it ever saw a commercial rocket lift off, with voters rejecting the idea in a March 2022 referendum. But while the project has consumed $12 million in tax dollars, the money keeps flowing, mainly for attorneys to represent the county in four spaceport-related lawsuits.
Camden County officials continue to hold out hope they will be able to purchase the Union Carbide Corp. property as they meet with potential investors for their long-stalled spaceport project.
The Georgia Supreme Court dealt another blow to Camden County’s spaceport plan when it denied the county's request to stop the certification of Tuesday’s referendum in which voters roundly rejected the spaceport.
