Colorado sucking some Space Force dick.

"They didn't use the word incentives but they said you know we would be interested in what community commitments that would be made for the future support," Suthers says.

In total, the City committed to a package valued at $129.4 million. Including more than 2,000 acres of land at Peterson and Schriever Air Force bases for expansions and upgrades. Sweetening the deal for those projects, the City and County threw in sales and usage tax refunds for military construction.

Colorado Springs Utilities pitched in offering to invest $25 million for an on-site generator. Suthers says, "We'll give discounted rates would be worth over the first ten years an estimated 28.5 million dollars for the Air Force."

Other offers came from the private sector included funding for the expansion of the Peterson Child Development Center, an astronautical engineering degree program at the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs, which Suthers says will still happen. The cherry on top, a new golf course.

"That would be a public golf course and available for access to the military at discounted rates," Suthers says.
