Graham sees opportunity in base closings for Charleston area
Graham argues DoD owned bases like Charleston Air Force Base and Naval Weapons Station are vital to winning the war. He cites C-17s delivering supplies to Southwest Asia and 35 percent of Army shipments passing through the Naval Weapons Station. A nine member Base Realignment and Closure Commission will be appointed by March 2005 with a closing list due two months later. He frames the opportunity as a way to attract new business by expanding the DoD mission.
