Pentagon grants nearly 140000 for Fort Ritchie reuse plan
Washington County receives 138,575 from the Defense Department to match 48,886 local funds for a reuse plan of Fort Ritchie after its selection for closure. County officials plan a citizen advisory board to explore new uses, led by Dick Palmer and the planning office, with final closure not expected before 1998. Rep Roscoe Bartlett lauds swift action to turn the base closure into an opportunity for the community.
