 The vital first step in protecting a valued nearby military installation is awareness. Local communities often wait until a facility's fate rests on formal base closure decision-making proceedings before engaging on its behalf.

HYJEK & FIX, INC. offers a range of assistance to help communities take steps to enhance their military bases, maximizing economic impact, and preventing the premature closure of the facility. In this time of economic challenges and a renewed focus on reducing government expenditures, a military facility’s economic benefit is a valuable local asset. Communities work aggressively to attract and keep commercial companies and their direct employment and economic benefits; there are strategies and actions available to communities who wish to ensure the continued economic viability of a nearby military base.
