NORFOLK, Va. (AP) - Two Hampton Roads military bases are in the running to house the consolidation of several Marine Corps anti-terrorism units.
Marine Corps officials say the Yorktown Naval Weapons Station and the Naval Security Group in Chesapeake are among three finalists selected from a pool of 35 bases to become the home of the Fleet Anti-Terrorism Security Team. The third is the Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, in Havelock, N.C.
The sites will undergo environmental-impact assessments as well as studies of potential economic and social effects, including impacts on traffic and schools.
