Accelerated Liftoff: New Provision Paves the Way for Spaceport Development

Public Policy & Regulation attorney Katie Inman and Financial Services attorneys Peter Baumgaertner and Edward Rojas co-authored a Daily Business Review article examining how the One Big Beautiful Bill Act's (OBBBA) new tax exemption for spaceport facility bonds could reshape financing and development opportunities in the commercial space sector.

The authors previously recorded a Holland & Knight webinar on this topic.
