Kennedy Space Center's historic Launch Pad 39 A will be launching rockets again soon.

NASA confirmed SpaceX signed a 20-year lease agreement. The pad will be launched as is and will not be changed.

SPACEX is looking at launching a Falcon 9 Heavy rocket from the pad in early 2015. A possible manned mission could launch from there in 2016.

That 2015 flight will be the first from Kennedy Space Center itself since the last shuttle launch in 2011.
