The Economic Impact of a Military Installation Closure on the Surrounding Community: Clinton County Air Force Base.

Abstract

In light of recent court actions, DOD has begun to develop a data base from which environmental impact assessments of military installation closures can be made. As a contribution to this effort, this research investigated the closure of Clinton County Air Force Base, Wilmington, Ohio, in an effort to establish what officially recorded data exist which could be used to assess the economic impact of the closure action on the surrounding community of Wilmington, Ohio. This research revealed that data exist at the state and county level which could be used to assess the economic impact of this closure. This research also discovered that data were not available relevant to the public sector of the community or the economic contribution to the community of the base. Some conclusions are presented.
