U.S. Sen. Richard Shelby sees no new BRAC for Huntsville but more growth
U.S. Sen. Richard Shelby said Monday he hears no hint of another BRAC military base realignment like the one bringing thousands of defense jobs and a major military command to Redstone Arsenal. The Tuscaloosa Republican spoke about the Army's future in Huntsville after a breakfast appearance at the Von Braun Center before 1,200 members of the Chamber of Commerce of Huntsville/Madison County.
"I haven't heard much about that," Shelby told The Huntsville Times editorial board when asked about another round of base consolidations. "I don't see any need for a BRAC right now." Shelby confirmed that BRACs typically begin in Congress. As the sixth-senior Republican senator in Washington, he said, "I would hear it."
