Army Presence Could Grow In Hawaii

Just read:

Hawai’i’s active Army population of 20,000 could grow by 10 percent between this year and 2013, it was announced today in a study released by the Department of the Army. (Additional Article)

Add that to the largest military housing project in history. 

If 2,000 additional military personnel (doesn’t include family members) spent $20,000 a year living in the islands, that would be $40 million in additional money to the Oahu economy.
