/ Pentagon surveyors met with San Antonio officials this week to discuss the city’s bid to house U.S. Space Command. San Antonio is one of six finalists competing for its new headquarters. Since May, the city has waged a public campaign to attract the unified command, which pulls from the different military branches and oversees operations in space. It’s provisionally headquartered at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and employs about 1,400 people. In a virtual meeting Monday, Mayor Ron Nirenberg, City Manager Erik Walsh and other local officials took questions from a Pentagon site selection team about San Antonio’s candidacy, focusing on factors like its infrastructure, existing military missions, quality of life and community support.
