1	The succesful [i.e. successful] reuse of Fort Harrison / Successful reuse of Fort Harrison Knable, Daniel January 2000 (has links) 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 Fort Benjamin Harrison (Ind.)
2	U.S. Naval expansion in the Gilded Age Barr, George Sturginne 08 August 2015 (has links) U.S. naval expansion is considered to be inevitable. When it is discussed at all, especially in recent scholarly works, it merits at most a few paragraphs briefly mentioning that in the late nineteenth century the United States constructed a modern navy. It is portrayed as if U.S. leaders mostly favored greatly expanding the nation’s naval power and that little to no serious opposition existed among government leaders. Naval expansion, however, fundamentally altered U.S. foreign policy. It represented one of the most significant shifts in the Gilded Age, an era often thought of as a forgettable period in U.S. politics with no major political events taking place. If anything, naval expansion should be the single most discussed political decision to come out of this period and President Benjamin Harrison should be remembered for his role in this development. After all, there are few presidential actions from this period that continue to greatly affect U.S. policy today, and Harrison and his fellow naval expansionists deserve more than a footnote in history.
