The commanding general of U.S. Space Command, who reportedly convinced President Biden to leave the new command’s headquarters in Colorado rather than move it to Alabama, bought a $1.5M house and property near the base several months before the headquarters decision.that, “U.S. officials told that Biden was convinced by the commander of Space Command, Gen. James Dickinson, who argued that moving his headquarters now would jeopardize military readiness.
Colorado records released by Alabama U.S. Sen. Katie Britt today show that Dickinson registered the deed for the 20-acre property April 4. The value of the two-story home, a barn, and land now co-owned by the general and his wife is $1.5 million. “General Dickinson is a Colorado native. He graduated from Colorado State and the Colorado School of Mines. And now we’ve uncovered that he bought a 20-acre farm and 4,000 square foot dream house in — you guessed it — Colorado,” Britt said today. “This $1.5 million property is just miles down the road from the interim Space Command headquarters in Colorado Springs — and he purchased it just a couple of months before recommending that Colorado be awarded the permanent headquarters.
