Colorado Springs Chamber and EDC launches national public relations campaign to secure permanent U.S. Space Command headquarters by Staff Writers Colorado Springs CO (SPX) Feb 20, 2020
The Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development Corp. (Chamber and EDC) has announced its official launch of a national public relations campaign to promote Colorado as the ideal location for the permanent establishment of U.S. Space Command (USSPACECOM). Three of six bases identified by the U.S. Air Force in the initial strategic basing decision are in Colorado Springs. "The aerospace and defense industry is one of Colorado's largest economic sectors," said Kathy Boe, chair of the Chamber and EDC's Board of Directors, and CEO of Boecore. "USSPACECOM's permanent presence in Colorado will drive more innovation and investment to our region while attracting and retaining a highly skilled workforce." The Chamber and EDC, community, and state partners are implementing contracts with two agencies who will advise strategies and execute tactics. The agencies are Development Counselors International, the Chamber and EDC's current public relations agency, and The Trailblazer Group, a DC-based public relations and political consultant. "The combination of agencies allows Colorado to make a full-court press in getting our state talked about by the right people. We know that President Trump and his team can make an informed decision in the best interest of national security when they become more familiar with Colorado's aerospace and defense assets and robust workforce development activity," commented Reggie Ash, Chief Defense Development Officer for the Chamber and EDC. "Keeping USSPACECOM in Colorado is essential to its mission, will not disrupt families and personnel, and will be the most cost-efficient way to strengthen the Command. There is no other community more supportive of our national defense efforts in space. We will amplify our Colorado story."
