Answer: There were over 700 people in attendance and it was standing room only. We gave a good feel to the Dept of the Army of our concerns. Mayors, State Reps, State NG, Superintendants, folks from Savannah to Brunswick and many more attended. There were six day sessions in all discussing our economic impact of the military/DA Civilian downsizing. Topics covered education, business, economic alignment, veterans and health care.
We won’t hear of any decisions until at least next Spring. If the Dept of the Army goes by the MVA, we are the top six in all categories out of 35 installations. We are the 6th largest installation in the Army.
