MIDDLETOWN, Conn.--A proposal to build a 200,000-square-foot Army training center on 40 acres of open space is prompting concern among some residents. The center would employ 150 military and civilian workers and would replace seven Army and National Guard facilities in Connecticut that have closed or are slated to close. The federal Base Realignment and Closure legislation of 2005 designates Middletown as the new center's site, although the Army Corps of Engineers can select the exact location. Neighbors say the land, currently owned by Connecticut Light and Power, should be preserved.
