Voters Turn Out Against Spaceport Camden

Referendum Results Demand Cancellation of Port Expansion, County Appeals to Courts to Continue Development

Camden Spaceport's fate is once again on the rocks, after a referendum "overwhelmingly" rejected the planned development earlier this week. The referendum posed a question to voters: "Shall the resolutions of the Board Commissioners of Camden County, Georgia authorize the Option Contract with Union Carbide Corporation and Camden County’s right and option to purchase the property described therein be repealed."

Unmanned Safety Institute to Sponsor High School Educational Programs

The Central Colorado UAS group, or CCUAS has expanded its reach across the state, drawing the attention of large drone industry stakeholders like the Unmanned Safety Institute (USI). From its humble beginnings as a small drone enthusiast club in Buena Vista, Colorado, the CCUAS has added the institute as a major sponsor of the local group. The change will allow the org to fund additional drone-education programs in the Buena Vista and Salida high schools, as well as host its annual conference. The CCUAS also made a name for itself in the creation of the country's first sanctioned drone-flying park.
