WASHINGTON (WDNews) – U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) is applauding President Trump’s decision to relocate U.S. Space Command headquarters to Huntsville.
The move places SPACECOM at Redstone Arsenal, which the U.S. Air Force selected in 2021 after a review of 66 potential sites across 24 states. That decision was later overturned in 2023 when President Biden announced the headquarters would remain in Colorado.
“President Trump is doing the right thing by moving SPACECOM back to its rightful home in Sweet Home Alabama,” Tuberville said. “This was never supposed to be about politics… thankfully, President Trump, Secretary Hegseth, and Secretary Meink are restoring merit and integrity to the process and saving taxpayers nearly a half a billion dollars.”
Local leaders have long supported bringing SPACECOM to Huntsville, citing the region’s role as a hub for aerospace, defense, and research.
