The secretary of the air force will make the final decision.
Updated: Jul. 13, 2022, 11:55 a.m. |FILE _ In this Aug. 29, 2019 file photo, President Donald Trump watches with Vice President Mike Pence and Defense Secretary Mark Esper as the flag for U.S. space Command is unfurled as Trump announces the establishment of the U.S. Space Command in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington. An environmental review has found no problems with the proposed Huntsville site for a new U.S.
“The study confirms that Huntsville is the best choice for Space Command,” Tuberville told Alabama reporters in his weekly briefing. “We look forward to seeing the process in the next 30-day comment period and we look forward to Space Command coming to Huntsville and being the home to Space Command in the very near future.”
“I’ve got to have a decision,” Space Command leader Gen. James Dickinson said of the move in a congressional hearing earlier this year. In the original base competition, Huntsville came out on top against competing bases in 26 states. Those states were whittled down to Colorado and Alabama, and Alabama ranked higher in 11 of 21 comparisons. It has always been the Air Force’s “preferred location” compared to what the service calls “reasonable alternatives.”
