There seems to be some mistake. Austin was widely reported as being a finalist city about three weeks before I made this request. See: https://www.defensenews.com/land/2018/04/19/army-narrows-locations-for-new-futures-command-to-15/
Could there be another city office which prepared the documents?
From: T.J. Kenney
I want to follow up that the Army reportedly sent a survey team to Austin this month to scout out locations. Could you please check again?
