Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1996, vol. 11, issue 3

Abstract: Survey results from the Fort McClellan, AL, area suggest that military retirees contribute significantly to the economic, fiscal, and social fabric of the community, but many may leave when the military base closes. Communities facing base closures should consider their options for stemming the loss of military retirees and their options for minimizing problems caused by retiree outmigration.
