The Department of Defense Inspector General is evaluating the Air Force selection process of Huntsville as the permanent location of the U.S. Space Command Headquarters.
Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville was selected as the preferred location for the headquarters in January.
According to the Huntsville/Madison County Chamber, this would bring 1,400 jobs that are a combination of uniformed and civilian positions.
