Ritchie base draws business interest as 1998 closure looms
Fort Ritchie Local Redevelopment Authority tours attract about a dozen business leaders during a breakfast sponsored by Maryland Business for Responsive Government. The 635acre base features a new Defense Information Systems Agency center with fiber optics and robust power, slated to move to Fort Huachuca in 1998. A firm relocation offer could bring 200 high paying jobs within a year, with other companies showing serious interest. Historic buildings, a 42,000 square foot warehouse, 341 family housing units, and quality of life amenities including a child development center, commissary, PX, golf course, tennis courts, pool, and a 12 lane bowling alley draw attention from unions and potential training sites. LRA expects strong private enterprise as military operations end.
