Port Canaveral scraps new cruise terminal plans amid state pressure
Port Canaveral leaders acquiesced Wednesday to the state’s demands and reversed plans for a new cruise terminal that could have impeded the space industry’s future needs.
The Port Canaveral Board of Commissioners voted 4-1 to end plans set in May to redesign what is known as North Cargo Berth 8 for cruise operations and use the adjacent property for parking garages. Port Canaveral is one of the world’s busiest cruise ports.
“We are confident that solutions can be reached to fulfill our commitment to the space industry as well as to our commitment to the cruise and economic businesses,” Commissioner Jerry Allender said.
