Fort Benning News: Make Room The Reserves Are Coming!

Columbus Ga - Fort Benning News: The Columbus Army Reserve Center #1 located on Macon Rd has fallen victim to BRAC. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has asked to file the redevelopment plan for the Armory and land at 3001 Macon Rd. in Columbus Ga. The Department of Defense is re-locating the Reserve Center to Fort Benning. The new plan for the property is that it be utilized by Columbus State University. The land and facilities must be used for educational purposes. Columbus State University will comply by proposing to use the property to house the West Central Georgia Law Enforcement Academy. If for some unforseen reasons the Law Enforcement Academy cannot be moved, then the planned use of the Armory will be for Continuing Education.

Once more Columbus leaders and Fort Benning have taken steps, to create a win win situation for all parties involved particularly the citizens of Columbus Ga. The Reservists will move to Fort Benning, this can only enhance their training. The acquisition of the real estate by the University, will not only enhance the area but also make it a perfect fit for the project taking place across the street.
