San Diego Metropolitan Magazine–March 2004

Companies big and small, headquartered in San Diego and elsewhere, benefit greatly from SPAWAR in San Diego. A local example is ComGlobal Systems, Inc. a computer-based information technology firm founded in 1995. Having grown to more than $30 million in revenue and 200 employees, ComGlobal has offices in San Jose, Virginia, Nevada, Hawaii, Massachusetts, and the United Kingdom. Illustrating how proximity to SPAWAR does matter, while the employee-owned firm is headquartered in Hazard Center, it still opened a small office on Barnett Street across from the SPAWAR campus, even though the amount of business is relatively small. It is those kind of offices, both big and small, some on-site and others nearby, that San Diego would lose if the SPAWAR headquarters close.
