Merritt Island Residents Raise Concerns Over Proposed LNG Plant

Some Merritt Island residents are voicing worries about a proposed liquefied natural gas plant intended to supply fuel for Port Canaveral’s cruise ships and potentially the SpaceX Starship. The plant, if built, would sit roughly 2,000 feet from homes along SR-528. Neighbors cite safety risks and possible declines in property values. No final decisions have been made. Chesapeake Utilities is set to present the proposal at today’s Port Canaveral Commissioners meeting.
