“The BRAC Commission’s vote today re-affirmed Letterkenny’s role with tactical missiles and the jobs that come with it.  Opportunity 05 and local officials have been steadfast in their support for Letterkenny throughout the entire process and their hard work is paying off for the community’s economic development.  When the Department of Defense released their recommendation it was the start of the fourth quarter, and now with the clock winding down we are still winning.  The odds were against us before this process started, and if you told me then that Letterkenny would remain open and gain about 200 jobs, I would say we accomplished our two objectives – keep Letterkenny open and increase its mission.  As this process goes forward, and due to the fact that Letterkenny was rated number one nation-wide for its tactical vehicle facility, I will continue working hard to establish Letterkenny’s role in this mission.”
