Citizens for Fort Campbell makes annual Advocacy trip
Citizens for Ft. Campbell traveled to Washington, D.C. last week to present post improvement projects to members of the Tennessee Congressional delegation.
The projects discussed included a Tactical Athlete Training Facility, which will provide soldiers with a facility needed to ensure they are properly trained to carry out their mission. The project directly supports the Army’s Comprehensive Soldier Fitness Program, which is designed to strengthen physical readiness and build resilience. The other projects include the widening of Cole Road and SR911. Cole Road would be widened approximately one mile to three lanes from Highway 41A to Gate 7. SR911 would be widened approximately two miles to five lanes from Highway 41A to SR115.
The projects are itemized in the President’s Future Years Defense Plan. The focus of the trip is to move up the timeline and see these projects funded and completed sooner. The following community leaders served spokespersons for the group: Ben Kimbrough, Jack Turner, Bill Harpel, Jim Durrett, and James Chavez.
Chavez, Economic Development Council President & CEO, noted, “Ft. Campbell is integral to everything we do as a community. This trip gives us the opportunity to renew our commitment to the over 30,000 soldiers and 52,000 family members on post. Funding these projects will strengthen Ft. Campbell’s ability to provide quality facilities, support mental and physical well-being, and enhance deployment capabilities.”
Citizens for Fort Campbell is an effort of the Clarksville Area Chamber of Commerce
and Hopkinsville Chamber of Commerce. Since 1997, Citizens for Fort Campbell has advocated for over $180 million in post improvement projects.
