From article, (Port Canaveral will be spending nearly $18 million on the first phase of a cargo berth project that will help provide facilities for the commercial space industry.

That will include areas for the recovery and reuse of rockets.

 Ajamil said the master plan "has built-in flexibility, which includes a dedicated area for spaceport operations to transfer rockets and equipment to nearby commercial space facilities, as well as provide berth space for marine vessels transporting space mission components. The plan provides for additional phases to accommodate growth needs of the industry, and represents the first East Coast seaport to have a spaceport component.")
