This study provided a broad overview of military base closures and the problems surrounding communities have when redeveloping them. The focus of the study was to analyze the success of the Fort Harrison Transitional Task Force and the Fort Harrison Reuse Authority in their attempt to redevelop Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indiana. The information collected has led me to the conclusion that the base has been successfully redeveloped. The base had a number of fixed geographical and environmental factors that aided in developing a successful plan for redevelopment. The redevelopment plan was comprehensive in nature and followed sound urban planning practices. The plan has been successfully implemented to this point in time. The project will come to completion some time in the next ten years. A final review of the project will have to be done at that time to measure their complete success. / Department of Urban Planning
