New $1.8B Project Aims To Boost Cape Canaveral Launch Volume

Space Florida will discuss the highly secretive $1.8 billion “Project Hinton” this week, which aims to build new launch support facilities at Cape Canaveral. The project, expected to significantly boost launch volume, could bring 600 jobs with an average salary of $93,000 to our area. While the details remain unclear, speculation surrounds SpaceX and Elon Musk’s potential involvement, with the project aligned with plans for high-volume production and rapid manufacturing for future space missions. The meeting will take place Wednesday.
