BRAC Plan Deals $200M Economic Hit to East Texas
GlobeSt.com - GlobeSt.com UPDATE: BRAC Plan Deals $200M Economic Hit to East Texas: "Faced with a $200-million economic loss, Bowie County is ready to due battle as it did once before to keep operations humming at two military installations near the Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma line. The East Texas facilities, overwhelmingly civilian jobs, are running 24/7 at three shifts per day.
The 765-acre Red River Army Depot in New Boston and its privately operated, smaller neighbor, Lone Star Ammunitions Plant, made the federal hit list of the Base Realignment and Closure Commission--just as they did in 1995. For the announcement, click here. But this time around, BRAC experts are saying there's not much that can be changed about last week's Department of Defense recommendations. Still, it won't keep locals from fighting."
