Proposed Reduction of Loring Air Force Base, Maine.
Abstract
As a result of this candidate reduction, the natural environment should improve due to the decrease in aircraft operations. The socio-economic impacts, however, could be severe in the areas of umemployment, housing vacancy, school enrollments, and funding. Mitigating measures such as the President's Economic Adjustment Committee (EAC) are available to affect communities. The impacts resulting from the additional one or two aircraft at nine bases are generally minor, involving a slight increase in noise and air pollution.
