Chamber briefs senator on BRAC
preparations

U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., visited the
Greater Columbus Chamber of Commerce late
Wednesday afternoon as the Senate nears its
final vote on the Department of Defense's Base
Realignment and Closure plans.
The presentation was led by Biff Hadden, senior
vice president for military affairs for the
chamber. The chamber updated Chambliss on
local preparations for the anticipated 16,000
soldiers and family members that BRAC
eventually will bring to Fort Benning and the
surrounding area.
With the Senate voting on BRAC expected to be
completed within the next month, Chambliss
said he could not be more pleased with
Columbus' preparation.
"The soldiers are going to want to know about
housing, schools, medical supplies..." Chambliss
said, "and those questions are being addressed."
