Fiscal Impact Analysis, Naval Submarine Base, Kings Bay, Georgia: Final Update

When completed, the base at Kings Bay, Georgia, will support one of the Navy's most vital weapon systems, the Trident Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile System and the Ohio class submarines. The expansion of the base required more than $1 billion of construction, created more than 2,300 construction jobs during peak program years in FY 1985 and FY 1986, and will result in the eventual influx of approximately 13,000 military and civilian jobs by 1998. The local population, which increased from 12,400 in 1979 to 30,443 in 1990, is expected to exceed 38,000 by the final year of the expansion in 1998. By 1998, over 13,000 new jobs and $403 million in annual new salaries will have been brought to Camden County.
