The city of Hinesville Friday formally requested $26,554,616 in remediation funds from the Department of Defense’s Office of Economic Adjustment.
The request is to make up for money city officials say they spent in preparation for a fifth brigade that was said to be coming to Fort Stewart. City council members approved submission of the application at a regular meeting Thursday.
