Thanks

I would guess that the reference is to a military or airforce base which used to be in the area. Presumably, all the small businesses in the town would have benefitted from the servicemen spending their money, and when the base closed, the money would dry up.

Yes, that's right! I completely forgot that, they do have military base in the area!
You are great, thank you!
