Shiloh Environmental Study Goes Ahead

Space Florida Initiates Environmental Study Process for Proposed Commercial Spaceport, Space Florida

"A Federal Aviation Administration-led environmental study to address the potential impacts of constructing and operating a commercial launch complex in the general vicinity of the former citrus community known as Shiloh, Fla., will be performed by an independent consultant in accordance with FAA conditions and procedures, the State's aerospace development organization announced today."

Marc's note: While the Air Force will be having a discussion on the concept of handing over the management of the Cape's Eastern Range to the FAA, it is only talk at this time. As such Space Florida needs to go ahead with the Shiloh study in case nothing comes of the Air Force's very preliminary discussion.
