Join us as we celebrate Military Appreciation Month and Armed Services Day
May is a significant month for the military in terms of scheduled observances. And the military, through the operations at Travis Air Force Base, is an integral part of the local community.
The base in Fairfield had a total economic impact in the 2016 federal fiscal year of $1.65 billion. It’s the latest economic impact study from the base and covers the time period of Oct. 1, 2015, through Sept. 30, 2016.
Base operations have expanded since then, to include work to prepare Travis for the new KC-46 Pegasus refueling aircraft.
Nearly half of those who work at the base live off base and as such are members of the local communities.
