US Army transferring in thousands of soldiers to Ft. Riley 
“We expect a population increase of around 30,000 plus, and we estimate that this increase
will demand around 10,000 housing units…..The demand for housing will be greatest over the
next two years.”
Strategic Action Plan and Growth Impact Assessment, October 2006:
“Communities surrounding Fort Riley will experience a significant rate of population growth and economic expansion during the next 6 to 10 years due to a variety of Department of Defense initiatives. A key element in this change involves the relocation of approximately 9,700 troops and the hiring of approximately 2,000 civilian workers at the installation.”
Booming Economy
The expansion of Fort Riley’s troop count will have a ripple effect on all businesses in
the surrounding areas. This expansion will dramatically reduce the risk to the mid
and long term investor.
