I always thought that Fort Monmouth would make a nice university campus. It has lots of dorm type housing, classrooms, labs, athletic fields etc. According to this article, others have different plans for the Fort. Eventually, if Fort Monmouth is closed, I'm sure that whatever political group is in charge of developing it will make the wrong decision.

Tim Delorm envisions something else entirely: an opportunity."
