BUILTENVIRONMENTCONSTRUCTION NEWSSOUTHWESTIn a move that state officials in bothColorado and Alabama have beenanticipating for months, President Trumphas announced that the U.S. SpaceCommand will be based in the Gulf Coaststate.COLORADO LOSES OUTIN MUCH-PROTRACTEDTRUMP SPACECOMMANDHEADQUARTERSDECISIONBy Garry Boulard, The Built Environment09/03/2025AI GeneratedThe headquarters is now set forestablishment in Huntsville, said Trump,“forever to be known from this pointforward as Rocket City.”Trump added that permanently setting upthe Space Command in Alabama will “helpAmerica defend and dominate the highfrontier.”Colorado leaders have been hoping thatTrump would come down on the side ofkeeping the headquarters for the SpaceCommand in Colorado Springs, where it hasbeen a presence at the Peterson Air ForceBase.In a statement, Colorado DemocratGovernor Jared Polis remarked: “This is adeeply disappointing decision for our stateand nation.”Polis added that “Uprooting the SpaceCommand will weaken national security andreadiness, waste taxpayer dollars, andinconvenience military families.”Colorado Springs Mayor Yemi Moboladealso criticized Trump’s decision, saying itcomes at a time when “space-related threatsare only increasing.”Continues >30

Continued the Mayor: “The U.S. SpaceCommand reached full operationalcapability in 2023 because of theunmatched talent here in Colorado Springs,much of which will not relocate.”The Denver Post contended that Trumpdecided in favor of Alabama becauseColorado voted for Democrat presidentialnominee Kamala Harris in 2024, calling theannouncement “politically motivated.”The President himself admitted that politicsplayed a part in his decision. “The problem Ihave with Colorado, one of the bigproblems, they do mail-in voting.

Weiser said his office has beenpreparing for litigation to stop what hecalled “an unlawful decision to move SpaceCommand headquarters.”In Alabama, Republican Governor Kay Iveysaid preparations have been underway forseveral years regarding the possibility ofRedstone being the new home to the SpaceCommand.“There is no better place to locate SpaceCommand Headquarters than in Huntsville,Alabama,” Ivey continued, adding that thestate is ready to “not only welcomeHeadquarters, but to welcome all of themilitary personnel and their families.”BUILTENVIRONMENT31New life is being pumped into a project inTucson that will see the development of a290-acre data center campus.Known as Project Blue, the proposal, asannounced earlier this spring, envisionedthe building of four separate data centers togo up just to the north of the Pima CountyFairgrounds.Altogether, it has been thought that it wouldcost around $3.6 billion to complete theproject, with the first of the data centersbecoming operable sometime in 2027.But a series of public information meetingsbetween the developer, Dallas-based BealeInfrastructure, and members of thecommunity revealed strong opposition toProject Blue.Continues >PUSH FORCONTROVERSIAL ANDMASSIVE DATA CENTERPROJECT IN TUCSONTAKING NEW TWISTBy Garry Boulard, The Built Environment09/03/2025Copyright: Canva pro

That opposition, partly spearheaded by agroup called No Desert Data Center, hascentered on the size of the project as well asthe amount of water that would be requiredto keep it running.Just over a month ago, members of theTucson City Council voted to vacate ascheduled vote on a developmentagreement for Project Blue. After thecouncil's decision, it was generally thoughtthat the future of the proposal looked dim.But now comes news that Beale and theutility company Tucson Electric Power havetogether filed a special agreement requestwith the regulator, the Arizona CorporationCommission, in an effort to secure energyfor the first phase of the project.Documents submitted to the commissionadditionally envision a May 2027 startingdate for Project Blue's initial phase, withTucson Electric Power saying that it willprovide up to 286 megawatts of capacity by2028.In a public posting, Andres Cano, PimaCounty supervisor, said the submission tothe Arizona Corporation Commission is"designed to bypass our community's willand lock in power for a project that hasalready been rejected at the local level."It has not yet been announced when thecommission will make a decision in thematter.BUILTENVIRONMENT32A new factory may see the light of day inBroomfield, Colorado as a Kansas City-based tech startup announces plans to moveto the Centennial State.The company Raven Space Systems isputting together 3D printed hypersonicflight testbed vehicles.

When that contract was announced, thepublication Start Land News noted thatRaven Space’s greatest asset is indeveloping a working model designed to“minimize labor, tooling, and waste, tomanufacture optimally designed structures,and thermal protection.”The new Raven Space presence inBroomfield will see the building of both itsheadquarters and a manufacturing facility.An exact schedule for the project is yet to beannounced.Earlier this year it was announced that theuniversity would construct the facilitywithin the school’s existing MacroTechnology Works structure, and that uponcompletion it would house bothsemiconductor research as well aspackaging technology.When the planned facility was selected bythe Commerce Department as part of theCHIPS for America initiative, ASU PresidentMichael Crow said the project would create“a national lab that will be the final piece in asemiconductor supply chain that serves thenation with research and development,manufacturing and workforce development– all right here in Arizona.”Sally Morton, executive vice president ofthe school’s Knowledge Enterprise, wassimilarly enthusiastic, remarking in astatement that the new facility would “playa critical role for the country.” She addedthat the university was particularly “well-equipped to contribute to and enhance thelong-term success of this important nationalasset.”But now, funding to the tune of $7.4 billionhas been yanked by the same CommerceDepartment after Secretary HowardLutnick called into question a legal aspect ofthe project.Lutnick asserted that the non-profitNatcast, a public-private consortiumcreated in 2023 and dedicated tosemiconductor research in the country, hadbeen illegally created by the BidenAdministration.He additionally called the consortium an“effort to skirt clear legal restrictionsprohibiting government agencies fromestablishing corporations.”Continues >BUILTENVIRONMENT33Plans for the construction of an advancedpackaging facility at Arizona StateUniversity’s Research Park are now on holdafter the loss of significant funding.ARIZONA STATEUNIVERSITY LOSESFUNDING FORSEMICONDUCTORFACILITY PROJECTBy Garry Boulard, Construction Reporter09/02/2025Copyright: Canva pro

“From the very beginning Natcast served asa semiconductor slush fund that did nothingbut line the pockets of Biden loyalists withAmerican tax dollars,” Lutnick continued.In a letter to Deirdre Hanford, chiefexecutive officer of Natcast, Lutnick said theCommerce Department under Biden “hadno specific legal authorization to establishNatcast as it did.”What happens next at ASU is not currentlyknown. Jay Thorney, a spokesperson for theschool, has been quoted in the PhoenixBusiness Journal as saying that theuniversity is in the process of “determiningthe potential impact for projects involvingthe university.”Members of the Fort Collins City Councilhave given a green light to an effort to builda park on part of the site, which couldinclude the eventual construction of a discgolf course, bike park of no more than 35acres, and restrooms and shade structures.The multi-use plan also puts an emphasis onengaging with Native American tribes whenit comes to any development of the site andcreating a wildlife conservation space not toexceed 30 acres.The council action comes as Fort Collinsvoters in November will be asked to decideon a proposal declaring the entire Hughessite as a natural area.The Hughes Stadium, which was demolishedin 2018, was the long-time home to theColorado State Rams. The football teammoved out of that facility in 2017 after theconstruction of the Canvas Stadium on theCSU campus was completed.Ever since the demolition of the HughesStadium, residents and city officials havebeen engaged in a series of energetic andsometimes rancorous debates regardingstadium site’s future.A move to redevelop the property for theconstruction of up to 600 new homes wasrejected by the city council in the spring of2020.

BUILTENVIRONMENTTensions between the three states on riverwater usage were supposed to be coveredby the historic 1938 Rio Grande Compact,which was designed to equitably apportionthe waters of the Rio Grande Basin.That agreement essentially divided thewaters of the river between Colorado, NewMexico, and Texas. In so doing, New Mexicohas been required to deliver a certainamount of water annually to the ElephantButte Reservoir, which is operated by thefederal Bureau of Reclamation. That agency,in turn, releases specified amounts of waterto Texas.But the 1938 agreement only covered thesurface water in the Rio Grande, not suchthings as wells drilled into adjoiningaquifers.Judge D.

It stayed that way until thepresidency of Harry Truman when the WarDepartment was split into the Department of theArmy and Department of the Air Force, thuscreating a unified and officially named DefenseDepartment.Florida Republican Representative Greg Steubeearlier filed an amendment to the latest fiscalyear defense budget that would mandate thename change.
