Maj. Gen. Tod Bunting plans to close 18 of the state’s 56 National Guard armories. The moves will save nearly $157,000 in the fiscal year that ends June 30, and more than $260,000 in the following year.
Some of the armories will remain unoccupied while equipment and personnel are transferred and operations are consolidated.
The changes mean that 19 full-time National Guard soldiers will be reassigned to other armories, while 678 soldiers will be forced to go to other locations for regular drills.
