Platte County Pachyderm Forum:  
“How the Resources and Programs from Fort Leavenworth’s impact Platte County”

The Kansas City area is struggling through the immediate recession.  But Platte County gets an unexpected economic benefit.  Fort Leavenworth has been a positive force in the region since its founding in 1827 as a garrison to protect settlers moving west. It is now known as the "Intellectual Center of the Army".

The Command and Staff College at Ft. Leavenworth annually draws hundreds of officers to our area. A bonus for the region is the sizeable and positive impact of its school and support staff. Plus, the other area military services have added to the economies of Platte County and the surrounding counties.  

On July 2nd , Adrian Cruz , Combined Arms Center and Fort Leavenworth Community Relations Officer, will present how personnel, purchases, and other ongoing expenditures enhance our area.

Ms. Cruz has an illustrious career of working with various communities. Her previous military assignments include duty as Television & Radio Broadcast Supervisor and Network Operations Controller, American Forces Network - Europe. In 2000, she was accepted into the highly competitive Department of the Army Internship program and was assigned to serve at the Pentagon in the Office of the Chief of Public Affairs; she has also served as Broadcast Supervisor, 18th Airborne Corps Public Affairs Office at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.  

During her military career, Ms. Cruz was deployed on special assignment to cover military operations and maneuvers in Grenada, England, France and East Germany.  She has written nationally published articles.

For residents who are curious about the county’s income sources. This Fort Leavenworth story will prove interesting and assuring.
