COMMUNITY IMPACT
Fort Drum is a prominent fiber in the fabric of the Northern New York community. The installation provides employment for more than 3,500 area residents and millions of dollars in trade for local businesses. Soldiers and their family members receive medical care from local health care providers and enroll in local schools and colleges. Staunch community support by way of programs such as Project Strong Communities and Operation Yellow Ribbon further connect our military and civilian communities. The resulting economic and social impact benefits not only Northern New York, but New York State as well.
EMPLOYMENT AND PAYROLL: $969,705,206.
Fort Drum is the largest employer in Northern New York. In FY06, 17,438 Soldiers and 3,712 civilians were employed on Fort Drum. Civilian (includes tenants and contractors) and military payrolls totaled $201,604,818 and $737,512,388 respectively. The large increase in military payroll this year is attributable to better source data. With the help of the Fort Drum Finance Office, we were able to capture basic pay and allowances, special pay, incentive pay and bonus pay for all soldiers assigned to the Fort Drum area. Basic pay and allowances may include items such as Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH), Basic Allowance for Subsistence (BAS), Cost of Living Allowance (COLA), Clothing Monetary Allowances, Family Separation Allowance (FSA), Temporary Lodging Allowance (TLA), and Temporary Lodging Expense (TLE).
