• Wallops Industry Day Tackles Housing and Workforce. The State's Funding Fight Got Left Off the Agenda. (mdbaynews.com) — Salisbury University just hosted Wallops Industry Day, where local leaders warned that housing and workforce gaps could limit the Eastern Shore’s growing aerospace sector. Speakers from Wicomico County, Salisbury University, and regional partners pressed for better training pipelines and regional coordination, while a stalled state funding bill and shifting aerospace investments raised questions about how much support the Shore is really getting from Annapolis. 
• Wallops gears up for an increase in launches (spacenews.com) — Wallops Island’s expected boom in rocket launches is already putting a spotlight on Salisbury and Wicomico County, where many workers live and where officials see housing, amenities, and transportation as key bottlenecks. Local leaders are pushing for better roads, more services, and expanded “social infrastructure” to attract and retain aerospace families who will support the regional economy.
