PUEBLO, Colo.—Army officials say President Barack Obama’s budget proposal includes $477 million for destroying obsolete chemical weapons stored in Colorado and Kentucky.
The Pueblo Chieftain reported Wednesday that the Pueblo Chemical Depot in southern Colorado would get about $227 million and the Blue Grass Army Depot in Kentucky would get about $223 million.
The Assembled Chemical Weapons Alternatives Program, which oversees the destruction projects at both sites, would get about $27 million for program management.
The U.S. is obligated under treaties to destroy its chemical weapons.
