	Save Our Heritage
		The Air Force Base has a minimal environmental impact and is not part of the threat to the historic or natural resources of the area.
		In 1997 the Air Force Base ceased the deployment of an active wing of the Air Force at the airfield, and control of the airport reverted to the State which gave it to Massport to operate "For the good of the people of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts".
		Hanscom Air Force base participated in the negotiations with Massport for a Memorandum of Understanding regarding future plans for the airport, as originated by former Massport director Peter Blute.

	Air Force Base seen at higher risk of closing - The Boston Globe
		By contrast, Hanscom may be more vulnerable because it does not fit the Air Force's traditional bias in favor of bases that have fighter wings, they said.
		If there is negative news for Hanscom, Owsley said, it could be that the Pentagon will try to realign the Bedford base along with other so-called military laboratories, such as similar research facilities run by the Air Force in Los Angeles; the Army in Monmouth, N.J.; and the Navy in San Diego.
		Still, he and Dixon said the Hanscom base has an excellent chance of staying open because of its research capabilities and the Legislature's approval earlier this year of $261 million in bond funding for expanding the base and the Soldier Systems Center.

	U.S. Air Force AIM Points: Hanscom neighbors like the base, hate the noise
		Instead of a base where soldiers take target practice, depots hold massive stockpiles of munitions, or fighter aircraft land regularly, much of Hanscom's 846 acres is devoted to the US Air Force Electronic Systems Center, which is in charge of command and control systems that gather information and track potential military targets.
		Base employees, most of whom are civilians and private contractors, often take lunches at Denny's in Lexington, stop for coffee at the Dunkin' Donuts in Bedford, and gas up at the Mobil in town.
		Base commanders are regularly invited to town meetings, and residents hold cups of eggnog at Hanscom Christmas parties.

	Hanscom Air Force Base Housing Privatization Project \| Project Specifics
		The objective of Hanscom AFB, which is located about twenty miles NW of Boston, is to improve our existing housing inventory by renovation or replacement which would cause construction of privatized housing units on-base and perhaps at an off-base location.
		Hanscom AFB has 850 housing units built in four housing areas, all located on the installation: Flintlock Ridge (395 units); Battle Road Glen (100 units); Musket Meadows (192 units); and Patriot Village (163 units).

		The proposal to realign five organizations to Hanscom and preserve nearly all of the functions at Natick SSC reflects an understanding of the fact that the experienced workforce and the complex work that occurs at these installations cannot be easily or effectively replicated elsewhere.
		Additionally, as the AFRL components at Hanscom Air Force Base draw heavily upon regional human capital capabilities in science and technology, the proposed relocation of the Sensors and Space Vehicles Directorates appear to carry significant costs with few gains.
