U.S. Representative Terri Sewell, D-Alabama, last Friday joined her colleagues in the Alabama congressional delegation at Redstone Arsenal to celebrate the unveiling of the U.S. Space Command headquarters sign. The ceremony marked a historic moment for Huntsville and the state of Alabama, solidifying the city’s role as the rightful home of Space Command.

“From the very beginning, our delegation worked together across party lines to make clear that Huntsville is the best location for Space Command based on the merits,” Sewell said. “I am honored to have done my part and thrilled that Alabama will continue to lead the nation in aerospace, defense, and innovation. This is not just a win for Huntsville. It is a win for Alabama and for America’s national security.”

Sewell reaffirmed her commitment to continuing to fight for investments that strengthen Alabama’s economy, create jobs and enhance national security.
