      Citing Joint Base as McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst as “an extremely valuable asset to the Burlington/Ocean county community,” the Burlington County Chamber of Commerce wants “to grow it into an even more valuable base than it already is.”
      According to Chamber President Kristi Howell-Ikeda, “in this way we will automatically be ready for the next Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) rounds which are expected to come in 2013 and 2015.”
