The Georgia Supreme Court will hear arguments Thursday in the fight over plans for a Camden County Spaceport.

A Georgia county has filed a lawsuit that seeks to force a company to sell it 4,000 acres on which the county has long planned to build a launch pad for commercial rockets.

The Camden County commissioners are not giving up on the dream of building a spaceport.

The owner of a 4,000-acre industrial site says it has ended a longstanding agreement to sell the property to a Georgia county seeking to build a launch pad for commercial rockets.

Opponents of a proposed launchpad for commercial rockets on the Georgia coast are asking a court to throw out the project’s government license, saying the Federal Aviation Administration failed to correctly assess the risks of firing rockets over homes and a barrier island popular with tourists.

In Camden County, Georgia, two Republican primaries for the county commission tie into the controversial Spaceport Camden project.

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.

A judge is weighing whether a Georgia county can move ahead with buying land for a commercial spaceport or must first give voters a shot at a special election to approve the deal.

A coastal community in southeast Georgia hopes to soon find out whether the federal government will allow it to build a launch site for commercial rockets.

CAMDEN COUNTY, Ga. – A new report suggests Camden County’s spaceport could lead to a massive tourism boost for coastal Georgia, but a limit on Spaceport Camden by the federal government is keeping its potential on standby. Spaceport Camden is waiting for approval from the federal government for a plan to develop the area into a commercial launch location for small rockets. The decision is expected in March, but a new report by researchers at Georgia Southern University is giving an idea of the possibilities, should the plan be approved. If the spaceport moves forward with development and regular launches, the report estimates 38 to 45 long term hospitality and tourism jobs could be created. The report also estimated the spaceport could be responsible for an increase in Gross Regional Project of $1.8 million if there were 12 launches per year.

Spaceport Camden released its new logo and renderings of its site and buildings.

CAMDEN COUNTY, Ga. - A 180-day review process of the Spaceport Camden Launch Site will begin after the Federal Aviation Administration said its initial review of the operator license application was completed. Spaceport Camden aims to develop a spaceport that will establish Camden County, Georgia, as the Commercial Space Center of the United States. We are now at T minus 1, said Steve Howard, the Spaceport Camden Project lead and a Camden County administrator. Howard said Camden County is one step away from its licensing decision and one giant leap closer to becoming the first purely commercial spaceport on the East Coast.
