The 6 Finalist for U.S. Space Command HQ
« on: December 18, 2020, 09:36:29 AM »
Only one Florida community advances for selection of U.S. Space Command HQ

Quote
In July Gov. Ron DeSantis endorsed a letter from Brevard County Commission Chairman Bryan Lober nominating the Space Coast for the highly coveted spot.

“As home to the 45th Space Wing, Florida’s Space Coast has always valued its more than 70-year partnership with the U.S. Air Force and looks forward to building a long and mutually beneficial relationship with the U.S. Space Force,” Lober wrote in his letter.

DeSantis also endorsed nominations from eight communities throughout Florida including Jacksonville, Pensacola, Brevard, Miami-Dade County, Orange County, Pinellas County, Seminole County and a joint proposal from Tampa and Hillsborough County.

Congressman Bill Posey (R-Rockledge) isn't surprised Brevard rose to to the top.

Be really sad if Brevard doesn't get it.
Do you believe that when the blue jay or another bird sings and the body is trembling, that is a signal that people are coming or something important is about to happen?

Should go to Nebraska. Create a major industry for that part of the country
