Base closures in Georgia a boon to Fort Bragg, N.C.

From an AP article in the ajc:

Army Forces Command and the Army Reserve Command, both now in Georgia but being moved to North Carolina by the Base Closure and Realignment Commission, are expected to create an off-base business and building boom worth millions, perhaps billions of dollars.

Paul Dordal, a retired Air Force general and executive director of the BRAC Regional Task Force, said . . . community leaders in Georgia estimated a loss of $700 million a year in economic benefits without Forces Command, which makes contracts for more than $1.1 billion annually.
