That's about what I thought it would do. It would be much like the base closing that happened here in the US. Or the same as any other major industry shutting down in a town that was built around it. I didn't expect it to be much of anything on the national scale, but I didn't really know where most of the US bases were positioned to be able to judge the local impacts. I live about 30 miles from Ft. Lostinthewoods, I mean Leonardwood :) and we get a noticable amount of business from base personel here. Though if it closed it wouldn't hurt too much because the local economy here is based mainly on the University, the USGS, Briggs, Purina and a few other industries. Some of the smaller hotels might suffer and maybe a few of the smaller autodealers.
St. Roberts however, which was built on the doorstep of the base would disappear. So I can easily envision the local impact and some of the regional impact.
