Military base closings in Tri-State Area
Posted by Dominic Basulto
According to Crain's New York, the Pentagon has proposed closing 17 military installations in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut and downsizing others "as part of a plan to shutter 180 bases worldwide and save nearly $50 billion."
The Ft. Hamilton base in Brooklyn ("vital to the city’s homeland security strategy") will be spared, but an Armed Forces Reserve Center in Amityville, Long Island is scheduled to be shut down. We hope, of course, that this unfortunate turn of events in Amityville does not lead to another tale of horror about a creepy building that hides a dark secret.
