Obama Budget Proposes Millions to N.M. Bases
Associated Press
Military installations in New Mexico would get more than $263 million under the 2011 budget President Barack Obama has sent to Congress, with the bulk of the money going to the rapidly expanding Cannon Air Force Base near Clovis.
Cannon would receive more than $150 million, including funds for hangars and other aircraft needs and an operations and training complex.
Holloman Air Force Base near Alamogordo would get $37.9 million for maintenance hangars, while Kirtland Air Force Base at Albuquerque would receive more than $24 million for an armament shop and a fuel system maintenance facility.
Southern New Mexico's White Sands Missile Range is in line for nearly $52 million for medical clinics and barracks.
The breakdown was announced by Democratic U.S. Sen. Jeff Bingaman.
