Show APRIL 7, 1987 L, Hill AFB economic impact LHS takes academic crown By TOM HARALDSEN A recently released government study states HILL AFB that Hill Air Force Base and its related services have an economic impact of nearly $1.8 billion on the state of Utah, and neighboring states. In the annual economic resource impact statement dated Jan. 1, 1987, but just released, the base is shown to have pumped $599,965,000 into the economy through military and civilian payrolls, another $1 15,163,000 in contracted services, and over $237 million in retirement benefits. Using a model established by the Oakridge National Laboratory in Tennessee to compute impact statistics, the study stated the retirees injected $407 million into Utahs economy. Hill AFB funds spent in the state produced more than 31,000 primary and secondary jobs and show a total impact of more than $1.2 million. The models recognized that money spent in Utah results in additional spending in other parts of the country. This shows another 10,000 secondary jobs and an overall impact approaching $1.8 billion. The statement, which is updated annually, includes an outline of services provided for and housed at Hill Field. Now in its 38th year, the base has grown from a humble beginning to house a workforce of over 21,000 military and civilian employees, and more than 5,000 contractor employees. Hill Field consists of the Ogden Air Logistics Center, the 2849th Air Base Group of the Air Force, and various tenant activities. Among the directorates at Hill Field at the end of 1986 were materiel management, maintenance, distribution, contracting and manufacturing, plans and programs, competition advocacy and information systems. The Air Logistics Mission provides worldwide support for a number of Air Force agencies. Aircraft housed at Hill include the F-- 4 Phantom and the 6 Fighting Falcon. Hill Field also served as home for a number of missile systems and related services, including the AGM-6- 5 Maverick, the AIM-- 4 Falcon, Cruise Missile, the the AIM-- 9 Sidewinder, the ALCM-86AGM-69Peacekeeper, the LGM-3- 0 SRAM, the LGM-118Minuteman, the small ICBM and the AMRAAM. Tenant organizations at Hill included the 388th Tactical Fighter Wing, the 1881st Com. Squadron (Air Force Communications Command) the 1954th Radar Evaluation Squadron, (Air Force Communications Command), and the 419th Tactical Fighter Wing, others included the 6545th Test Group and the 40th Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Squadron. The report stated there were 121,931 arrivals and departures at Hill during 1986, making it the busiest single runway in the Air Foi;ce. The 6,666 acre base was responsible for 1,362 buildings including those at remote activities, 134 miles of roadway, 30 miles of railroad and 2.7 million square feet of airfield pavement. Davis County civilians earned $215,385,000 at Hill, with county military residents earning $90,406,000 for a total payroll to county residents of just under $306 million. The civilian workforce at Hill Field from Davis County totaled 7,197, while county military personnel at the base totaled 4,416. The study also revealed that all contracts awarded at Hill AFB totaled $1,892,062,000. Of this, over a billion dollars were identified as open to competition for big and small business. Small business was awarded 6.1 percent of these dollars.
