Of course, these are local projects needed because of their plan to move more workers to Ft. Belvoir.
The Army has decided not to pay for a series of road and environmental projects that could have cushioned the blow of moving 19,000 new workers to Fort Belvoir, according to documents.

The military deemed the 25 proposals "not practicable because of high cost and a lack of funding." About half were road or transit projects, which Virginia officials hoped would accompany the shift of thousands of workers under the latest round of Base Realignment and Closure decisions.

No word yet whether the Pentagon plans to cancel its failure of a war in Iraq for being "not practicable because of high cost and getting nothing in return."

Another no-bid contract goes unfilled.  What is going on!!!

Oh, the Army prefers to blow up roads.  Not build them.
