Fort Drum's total economic impact for 2021 was $1.96 Billion, with 6,340 jobs indirectly induced or supported by Fort Drum.

Advocate Drum chairman Thomas Carman announced that National Grid is partnering with Advocate Drum to present a new speaker series, Interviews & Insights.   

The new series is offered on a bi-monthly basis and features various speakers addressing topics such as Protecting our Nation; The Soldier & Family; and other Fort Drum and military related topics from the local perspective, that of Big Army, and a global perspective.  "Interviews & Insights will provide our membership and the larger community the opportunity to learn more about the Army and 10th Mountain Division and how it effects our community”, said Mr. Carman.  “We are extremely grateful to have National Grid’s partnership in making this program available.”

“National Grid salutes the men and women of the 10th Mountain Division and the businesses, organizations and community leaders who embrace, support and celebrate Fort Drum’s contributions to the region,” said Alberto Bianchetti, National Grid’s Central New York Regional Director. “Our active commitment to Fort Drum and the Drum Country extends from a longtime partnership with Advocate Drum to promote mutual support and understanding through sponsorships like the Interviews & Insights program. We are steadfast in the role we play to drive growth and development in the region and looking forward to future opportunities.”
