The United States Space Space Force may be coming to Southern California.
According to reports, The U.S. Air Force is officially (and formally) evaluating the city of Palmdale as a possible future permanent headquarters for the United States Space Commands.
Reports state that the Chair of Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, Kathryn Barger, officially submitted the city's nomination.
For those wondering, the next phase of the evaluation process will score communities based on how they relate to the mission, infrastructure capacity, community support, and overall costs to the Air Force, Palmdale officials say.
Colorado Springs, Colorado, remains the location for the provisional headquarters for U.S. Space Command headquarters until a permanent headquarters location is selected and facilities are ready in approximately six years.
USAF officials said they anticipate a decision on the permanent location by early 2021.
