The case against Spaceport Camden.
A report on Camden County’s bid for a spaceport came out a few months ago. Laura Forczyk is an author of it, and the owner of Astralytical. The Atlanta-based consulting firm is working for Camden County on developing its plans for a launch site and space education center, which supporters say will bolster the economy.

They doubt the economic benefits, while pointing to pollution and erosion issues at the proposed spaceport site.
