EDC votes to study possible creation of military support subcommittee

The idea is to create a subcommittee under the EDC board of directors that would work closely with the Maintenance Center and the USMC’s Logistic’s Command headquartered at the base to ensure their needs are being met while expanding efforts to promote economic development locally in the defense sector, EDC President Ted Clem said.

The subcommittee would resemble a smaller version of the Alliance for Progress, a group who rallied behind the MCLB and aided in lobbying efforts to try and keep the base and its components off the Base Realignment and Closure list, or BRAC, several years ago.
