Ramat Hovav soon began seeking funding from the government for clean-up. As of March 2008, construction of the City of Training Bases south of Ramat Hovav began against widespread citizen opposition.

Famous quotes containing the words development and/or plans:
“The man, or the boy, in his development is psychologically deterred from incorporating serving characteristics by an easily observable fact: there are already people around who are clearly meant to serve and they are girls and women.

—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
