Space Camp Bought but Not Necessarily Rescued
From Times Wire Reports
An anonymous buyer purchased Space Camp Florida and the Astronaut Hall of Fame for $100,000 at auction.
The transaction was made through SC Realty of Birmingham, Ala.
Brenda McMillan, a spokeswoman for the two Titusville attractions, said employees were told there was no possibility the sale could save the facilities in their current form.
Sluggish attendance after an economic downturn and last year’s terrorist attacks hindered Space Camp’s ability to pay its debt, officials said.
