ELIZABETHTOWN, Ky. –

Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear didn’t let a retired colonel from Fort Knox enjoy his retirement long.

With big changes coming up at Fort Knox, the governor tapped Col. Mark Needham as his liaison for Base Realignment and Closure activities. Needham knows his way around Fort Knox and BRAC operations. Before he retired, Needham ran day-to-day operations for the post, about 40 miles south of Louisville, as garrison commander and managed BRAC activities there. He retired in July.

The governor had his eye on Needham since their first meeting. - More -
