The Local Redevelopment Authority for Roosevelt Roads is advancing redevelopment plans for the former naval base in Ceiba, Puerto Rico, including a proposed spaceport and marina. The Vertical Space Launch Facility is projected to cost $750 million to $1 billion and will feature a launch complex with various supporting facilities, with construction phases anticipated to start in 2027.

Utility upgrades are planned for the drinking water and sanitary systems, with bidding expected in early 2027. Community enhancement projects funded by FEMA will also restore local facilities, with construction set to begin in April and June 2027.
