    As result of $2.1M in OEA investments in Fiscal Years 2015 and 2017, the Pennyrile Area Development District was able to inform and calm its residents over the potential economic impacts associated with the inactivation of the 159th Combat Aviation Brigade and the 4th Brigade Combat Team, resulting in the loss of 5,000 soldiers at Fort Campbell. This effort enabled jurisdictions in Kentucky and Tennessee to inform small businesses of potential shifts in business patterns, keep local housing markets from over-reacting, develop a $7.7M U.S. Department of Labor workforce development program for dislocated personnel, and help the region embrace the Army’s basing actions.
