Army Listens to Community About Drawdown

Tomorrow, April 18, at 10 a.m., Army officials are conducting a listening session to solicit comments from community leaders and other residents about the potential economic impacts of the planned drawdown.

Data from communities — about plans for a new highway linking to the post, for example — are an important consideration, Cathy Kropp, a spokeswoman for Army Environmental Command has said in other forums.

When: 18 April 10 a.m. until noon.
