$600 million will go toward expanding Blue Origin’s Rocket Park campus at Cape Canaveral, according to a statement from Governor Ron DeSantis.
An 830,000-square-foot manufacturing facility is planned as the centerpiece of the project, adding production capacity tied to the company’s launch operations.
Blue Origin said the expansion is meant to increase the volume and mass it can deliver into orbit.
Florida’s Spaceport Improvement Program will support the project, linking the investment to the state’s broader aerospace infrastructure push.

Is Blue Origin's massive expansion a confident leap forward or a gamble to mask its technological setbacks against SpaceX?
