U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock of Georgia is pushing back on the nearly completed environmental review of the proposed spaceport in Camden County.

“This is not the time to cut corners on environmental review or cut out public participation in the evaluation of this project,” Warnock wrote to two top Federal Aviation Administration officials Monday. 

After more than five years, the agency is scheduled to rule on the controversial rocket launch site proposed for Georgia’s coast in late June.
