SRSCRO Timeline
A significant timeline of the history, milestones and accomplishments of the SRSCRO.
Born out of the federal defense downsizing that followed the end of the Cold War, the SRS Community Reuse Organization (SRSCRO) has forged robust and unprecedented partnerships with economic development groups, government entities, educational institutions and business leaders. These partnerships have enabled the SRSCRO to facilitate economic diversity and career development for a generation of job seekers in nuclear energy, manufacturing, cybersecurity and other critical industries.
