Charleston Wins Navy Nuclear Training School Move
Charleston, South Carolina gained a Navy nuclear training school and 500 permanent jobs after the Base Closure and Realignment Commission voted to relocate it from elsewhere. Mayor Joseph Riley Jr. said the decision boosts the local economy and that the move could save about 70 million dollars over two decades. The plan also relocates 12 fighter jets from Cecil Field to Beaufort, creating roughly 540 military and five civilian jobs within six years.
