Amazing that RAF Mildenhall is closing after all these years. I wonder how these proposed closures will affect local economies...

I think the fact that the closures are due to the US military "shifting their attention to Asia" ; that is way more of an issue than local economies. Changing world indeed.

Re: It's a changing world
I believe Marshalls of Cambridge are interested in buying RAF Mildenhall,
They proposed something quite some years ago about a modern business / town complex with housing and amenities.
If it was very upmarket this could would very well with the Airport being there, and could make quite a bit of money in the decades to come,

I know they built a neighborhood where RAF Bentwaters used to be in Suffolk, and it's been quite successful. My Uncle and Auntie have lived there for several years.
