After the cold war, the American Government realized there was no need for this facility because there was no more soviet union. The cold war ended. That as well as, there was an act called base realignment and closure act. In the mid 90s, a lot of military bases were shut down for cost savings, financial reasons, and we didnt need as much facilities to monitor the sol soviet union. It vacant for about ten years.
