John Suthers has plenty of economic development wins as mayor a massive Amazon distribution center and Southwest Airlines expanding to Colorado Springs to name two but he called the loss of the U.S. Space Command to Huntsville, Ala., his biggest setback. We haven t had a whole lot of economic development bad news, but this would be my greatest (economic development) disappointment Suthers said during a news conference Wednesday on the headquarters decision.
Suthers was highly critical of the decision, calling it a political favor to Alabama s two U.S. senators, who championed President Donald Trump s efforts to object to electoral votes for Joe Biden by Arizona and Pennsylvania, and Republican U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks, who represents the Huntsville area.
