Abandoned ABM Site Eyes New Uses in North Dakota
In northeastern North Dakota near Langdon, the once operating Safeguard ABM complex near Nekoma faces shutdown after Congress canceled the multi warhead system. The 13 story radar building may become a grain storage facility or a vocational school as 447 military personnel and 4,200 contractors dwindle to minimal staff. Local officials weigh replacements while Boeing workers help retrofit Minute Man missiles. The plant cost state residents nearly $859 million, with only 25 military staff remaining by October.
