Future
The Wiesbaden Army Airfield is going to be the new US-Army Headquarters in Europe. The US-Army headquarters in Heidelberg and Mannheim are currently relocating to Wiesbaden. . Because of this decision the Wiesbaden Army Airfield will grow and many new building projects and modernizations started at the end of 2009. Recent budget cuts and demands from American Congressmen for more base closures in Europe have led to speculation that Wiesbaden may close since it has no real military value.

Famous quotes containing the word future:
“Perhaps if the future existed, concretely and individually, as something that could be discerned by a better brain, the past would not be so seductive: its demands would be balanced by those of the future. Persons might then straddle the middle stretch of the seesaw when considering this or that object. It might be fun.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“Give me insight into today and you may have the antique and future worlds.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The most remarkable aspect of the transition we are living through is not so much the passage from want to affluence as the passage from labor to leisure.... Leisure contains the future, it is the new horizon.... The prospect then is one of unremitting labor to bequeath to future generations a chance of founding a society of leisure that will overcome the demands and compulsions of productive labor so that time may be devoted to creative activities or simply to pleasure and happiness.”
—Henri Lefebvre (b. 1901)
