Vandenberg Air Force Base is being discussed as a potential location to house the military’s newest combatant command, US Space Command, along with five other bases in Colorado and Alabama. Lompoc’s Mayor says there hasn’t been any formal notification or interaction between city and Air Force officials regarding Space Comand and Vandenberg Air Force Base. Space is nothing new to Lompoc. The city was bracing for a big boom when they were building up the Space Shuttle program.
