Polis- Primavera Administration continues to advocate for Colorado Springs as the home for U.S. Space Command  

DENVER — Today, Governor Polis and Lt. Governor Primavera released the following statement in response to the release of the Department of Defense Office of the Inspector General report on the former President’s decision to move the U.S. Space Command from its rightful home at Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado Springs. 

“We’ve been advocating since day one that Colorado Springs is the rightful home for U.S. Space Command.
