- U.S. Space Command established an on-site Program Management Office in Huntsville, and initial headquarters staff have arrived to focus on military construction and infrastructure.
- Command leaders say operations will continue in Colorado Springs during a phased relocation as purpose-built facilities are developed at Redstone Arsenal.
- Colorado’s attorney general has sued to halt the move, alleging political motivation, but no court has ordered a pause in transition work.
- Local and prior estimates project roughly 1,000–1,700 headquarters jobs shifting to Huntsville and potential costs exceeding $1 billion for the multi-year effort.
