Excerpts from today's Argus Leader:
Air Force officials are looking at Ellsworth Air Force Base as a possible location for a military financial-services operation that could mean the addition of more than 700 jobs, Rep. Stephanie Herseth said.
Although no decisions can be made until the Base Realignment and Closure Commission officially completes its work, a visit this week to the base by Air Force officials lays the groundwork, Herseth said.
...
About 110,000 square feet is needed for the facility, and it eventually would accommodate 775 people, according to information provided by Herseth's office. It would be required to house 50 to 100 people by March 2007 and would be operational by October 2008.
The processing center would include new employees and would draw personnel from other bases. Plans still are preliminary, so it is not certain how many civilian jobs such an operation could bring to the state, Herseth said.
