DescriptionUtah's Hill Air Force Base does not appear on a Defense Department list of military installations slated for closure. Dugway Proving Grounds, Tooele Army Depot and Utah's National Guard bases also were left off the base closure list.
The list did include one Utah installation: Tooele's Deseret Chemical Depot. However, that installation which employes about 250 people already had been slated to complete the destruction of its stockpile of chemical munitions by 2008 and close if no new munitions were brought in. The absence of any of Utah's major military installations from the closure list released today in Washington, D.C., is sure to draw a heavy sigh of relief across the state, nowhere more so than in Davis and Weber counties where the closing of Hill could have been disastrous for local economies.
