SpaceX is moving some of its operations to Port Canaveral, port Chief Executive Officer John Murray said Wednesday.
The space launch company plans to lease the now-vacant former Spacehab building on the north side of the port, and is looking at constructing a second building on vacant land adjacent to that site, Murray told port commissioners.
SpaceX is expected to process and refurbish rockets, as well as potentially perform other functions, at the port, Murray said.
“We’re happy to announce that they’re onboard,” he said. “It’s good for the port, it’s good for the community, and it's a high-visibility project. So we’re really excited about that. They're a great client to have on our port. It's a win-win for everybody."
