Economic Development After Military Bases Close

Peter Stenberg, Thomas Rowley and Andrew Isserman

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1994, vol. 09, issue 3

Abstract: The Department of Defense is realigning its domestic network of military bases and closing many bases. Since 1988, 73 major bases have been slated for closure, 17 in nonmetro areas. The experiences of rural communities that had bases close during 1960-82 suggest that closures can create a range of economic difficulties, but also unique development opportunities for affected communities.
