State Participates In Next Great American Base Contest
The Wyoming Military Department is exploring the possibility of building a new military base on public land, with the state participating in the Next Great American Base contest. The base is expected to house 15,000-25,000 active duty members and would require between 100,000 and 250,000 contiguous acres of land. The project pitch is due Dec. 1, and the state has formed a task force to identify potential sites. This development was first reported by Cowboy State Daily.
