Move Comes as Navy Issues 'Notice of Availability' for Willow Grove Acreage

HARRISBURG, Pa., Nov. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Representatives of Governor Edward G. Rendell and the Pennsylvania National Guard today urged federal lawmakers in Washington D.C. to support a continued, significant, military presence at Willow Grove through the guard's proposed future-use plan.

The key to Willow Grove's future as a military installation is maintaining the airfield. The plan creates a robust military presence with more than 3,700 personnel, including the addition of more than 1,000 Army National Guard soldiers from the 56th Stryker Brigade.

"Our plan shows that keeping this airfield open will save taxpayers millions of dollars, while assuring our homeland security and extending Pennsylvania's dramatic, record-setting economic expansion," said Governor Edward G. Rendell.
