‘Massive’ Port Expansion Coming

Port Canaveral is gearing up for a massive $2 billion expansion, spurred by projections of over 500 launches annually from the Space Coast by 2053. A feasibility report released as part of the Florida Spaceport System Maritime Intermodal Transportation Study outlines the need for this expansion to accommodate the exponential growth of the commercial space industry. With SpaceX, Blue Origin, and other launch providers calling the Space Coast home, officials are pushing forward to meet the demand for wharf space and infrastructure, securing funding from federal, state, and industry partners.
