Rebuilding the Base

Rebuilding the Base reveals how communities are devastated by base closures and are often unable to replace the number or quality of jobs lost. The report also highlights ways that communities can better harness investment in public land at military bases to create good-paying jobs, affordable housing, and other community benefits. The case studies profiled illuminate the great potential of base redevelopment and the need for communities to be attentive and organized to ensure redevelopment meets their needs.
