Group Aims To Build Spaceport In Sheboygan

Sheboygan. The final frontier.

The Wisconsin Aerospace Authority is working to bring a spaceport to the eastern Wisconsin city. The facility would be a gateway for space travel or, in other words, an airport for rockets.

A to-do list released Friday calls for a suborbital launch before the end of next year.

It also calls for securing state and local approval for the spaceport and starting approval talks with the Federal Aviation Administration, all within the next five years.

The authority's plan also includes more down-to-earth efforts, such as seeking private funding and looking into tax incentives to attract aerospace industries to Wisconsin.
