BRAC: Much to lose, or win

Another round of base closings and realignments is on the horizon, and for the heavily militarized Gulf Coast there is a lot to lose - or potentially gain - from another BRAC round. The region between Southeast Louisiana and Northwest Florida has 45 bases and associated properties with a replacement value of close to $22 billion. Santa Rosa County's Naval Air Station Whiting Field is among the most valuable, with a PRV of $708.2 million, up from the previous two years. (Source: Gulf Coast Aerospace Newsletter, 04/11/17)
