By JUDITH KOHLER | The Denver Post | Published: December 19, 2020 (Tribune News Service) — A decision is expected in January on the permanent headquarters of the U.S. Space Command, and Gov. Jared Polis along with more than 600 of the state's political, business, civic and military leaders are making another pitch to the outgoing commander in chief to choose Colorado. A letter sent Friday to President Donald Trump said Colorado is "the epicenter of national security space and the only permanent home for U.S. Space Command." Earlier this year, Peterson Air Force base in Colorado Springs was named the Space Command's provisional headquarters for at least six years and in November was named one of six finalists to be the permanent site. It has been home to the Air Force Space Command since 1982.
