<div style="margin-top: 0.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;">Towns and cities that have a military infrastructure project often experience economic growth. With the Altus Air Force Base Construction Contract, local businesses can expect more demand for materials, transportation services, lodging and food services during the construction project. There are also opportunities for skilled workers like electricians, engineers, plumbers and equipment operators to work as subcontractors. In addition to the economic benefits, upgraded facilities can help to make the overall operation of the base more efficient and safe for both military personnel and civilians. These projects are often seen as beneficial by many residents, as they can result in longer-term development and more community relations between military facilities and local industries contributing to the development projects.</div>
