Representative Barry Moore (AL-01) joined President Trump and members of the Alabama Congressional delegation in Washington, D.C., for the announcement that U.S. Space Command (SPACECOM) headquarters will be relocated to Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama. The decision reverses a previous move by the Biden Administration and establishes SPACECOM’s permanent base in Alabama.
“This decision is a win for Alabama, a win for America, and a win for common sense,” said Moore. “Redstone Arsenal is where Space Command belongs, not because of politics, but because of proven performance. Alabama has led the way in space, missile defense, and national security for decades. Now, Space Command will be anchored in the Rocket City, where the mission and the people are ready to keep America the best in the world. I am proud to have fought alongside my colleagues in the Alabama delegation to achieve this victory and am grateful to President Trump for his leadership.”
Officials expect that moving SPACECOM headquarters will result in significant economic benefits for Alabama through job creation and increased investment in defense and aerospace sectors.
Barry Moore currently serves as a member of Congress representing Alabama’s 2nd district after replacing Martha Roy in 2021. He previously served in the Alabama House of Representatives from 2010 to 2018. Born in Coffee County, Moore is an Auburn University graduate who resides in Enterprise.
