Development Plans
In 2006, a plan to relocate the bases in Tzrifin and construct a 'City of Training Bases' for army professionals and their families was sidelined in favor of expanding Ramat Hovav. 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:
“... work is only part of a man’s life; play, family, church, individual and group contacts, educational opportunities, the intelligent exercise of citizenship, all play a part in a well-rounded life. Workers are men and women with potentialities for mental and spiritual development as well as for physical health. We are paying the price today of having too long sidestepped all that this means to the mental, moral, and spiritual health of our nation.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“When I heard at the close of the day how my name had been receiv’d
with plaudits in the capitol, still it was not a happy night for me
that follow’d,
And else when I carous’d, or when my plans were accomplish’d,
still I was not happy,
But the day when I rose at dawn from the bed of perfect health,
refresh’d, singing, inhaling the ripe breath of autumn,”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
