Lee seeks U.S. Space Academy site in Coffee County

Gov. Lee is seeking to place a U.S. Space Academy in Coffee County, making the county part of a proposal for a new academy.

The proposal is the central development. It does not establish that the academy will be built in Coffee County, and it does not identify a final site, construction schedule or operating plan.

What is known

The effort involves Gov. Lee and the proposed U.S. Space Academy. Coffee County is the location identified for the project.

What remains ahead

The project would require additional decisions before its location or development could be considered final. Those steps may include identifying a site and outlining how the academy would be established, but specific actions and dates have not been announced.

The proposal gives Coffee County a potential role in the academy’s future location. Any final decision would clarify whether the county will host the project and what the academy would involve.
