Detrick Plans Unchanged Amid Economy Directives
Washington budget director Joseph M Dodge issued an economy directive on Tuesday that has not yet affected Camp Detrick. A spokesman said the Chemical Corps installation is operating as usual and will continue to do so until informed otherwise.

Officials expect the post to qualify as clearly essential and push construction ahead, though the administration enforces strict cost controls. housing expansions were planned earlier as part of a defense housing area designation, but only a small portion of units have been completed and proposed multi unit apartments have not started.
