James Joyner has the scoop on how the BRAC recommendations will affect the state of Alabama. On balance, mostly good news. The diminution of jobs at Maxwell will be felt, but not that majorly. The increase on almost 2,000 position to Fort Rucker will be a boon to the Ozark/Enterprise areas and is good news for Troy University–the main campus is about 30 minutes from Rucker and the Dothan campus is about 15 minutes away. More families will certainly translate into more students.
Okay I am bragging… My husband was one of the two people who wrote the briefing for the BRAC committee on Fort Rucker. I personally think he did an awesome job.
