Camden County will hold a special election March 8 to determine the fate of the proposed Spaceport Camden.

Probate Judge Robert C. Sweatt Jr. on Tuesday issued an order verifying the referendum was warranted by a petition filed in December and signed by at least 10 percent of the county’s registered voters, as required by the Georgia Constitution.
