Rural Communities and Military Base Closures

Peter L. Stenberg

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1998, vol. 13, issue 2

Abstract: For the last decade the Department of Defense has been undergoing a process of downsizing, including reducing the number of domestic bases. While most cuts in the number of military personnel have taken place in urban areas, rural areas have taken a proportionate share in the reductions. Although the negative economic impacts from base closures affect all areas, they are often much greater in rural communities than urban communities.
