Local communities nominated for Space Command headquarters

Communities in Leavenworth County are being nominated in the search for the headquarters of the new U.S. Space Command. “We all know it’s a long shot,” Steve Jack said. Jack, the executive director of the Leavenworth County Development Corporation, spoke Thursday during a meeting of the LCDC Board of Directors. Despite being a long shot, Jack said it does not hurt to get the name of local communities in front of developers or the federal government.
