Grimm ties Army Corps funding to Ft. Hamilton Army Base
Talk about an engineering feat!
Language in the bill that allocates funding to the Army Corps ofEngineers (ACE) — which was anticipated to pass the House ofRepresentatives this week — seeks to make sure the group remainsat Fort Hamilton by preventing it from using the money involved torelocate elsewhere.
The wording was inserted in the Energy and Water AppropriationsAct by Congressmember Michael Grimm, who has been fighting tomaintain ACE at Fort Hamilton since learning earlier this year thatthe corps planned to relocate from the Brooklyn base toManhattan.
