El Paso already has a strong military population. But that population is going to get a lot bigger SOON. Fort Bliss is going to nearly double the size of the base to 37,000 within the next five years. Also, nearby White Sands Missle Range is going to increase from 130 soldiers to 4,000.
The El Paso International Airport will be increasing in size as nearly 3,000 acres next to it are developed into an industrial park to host the military contractors. The bottom line is that by 2012, there could be an additional 100,000 residents moving to El Paso. We strongly suspect this is going to have a profound effect upon Las Cruces, New Mexico.
