Will it significantly impact our regionâs economy? Without a doubt.
It was announced Jan. 13 that outgoing President Donald Trump would move Space Command from Colorado Springs to its permanent home at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama. The decision, some say, was meant to reward the presidentâs loyalists and at the same time punish those who didnât show a proper level of affection to the commander-in-chief.
The local response to the sudden move was immediate and appropriate. It included a statement by Mayor John Suthers who, along with Chamber & EDC President and CEO Dirk Draper, said they will file a Freedom of Information Act request for documentation regarding the decision to pull Space Command out of the Springs â a decision that went against an earlier recommendation from the United States Air Force to keep Space Command in Colorado.
