The possible closure of the commissary at Moffett Federal Airfield in Mountain View has sparked concern among military families in the Bay Area. This facility is the only one of its kind in Santa Clara County and has been providing an affordable shopping option for groceries and household goods for years. The closure could force affected families to drive long distances or pay higher prices.
Congressman Sam Liccardo has expressed concern about reports that the federal government plans to close the facility in 2026. In a letter to John Hall, director of the Defense Commissary Agency, Liccardo emphasized that the loss of the commissary would place a significant burden on service members and veterans who have made immense sacrifices for the country.
Supervisor Otto Lee, a U.S. Navy veteran, described himself as a “frequent customer” of the commissary and emphasized that the facility not only provides financial relief, but is also a cornerstone of community and support for those who have served the country. The closure would force families to drive long distances or pay higher prices, placing an unnecessary burden on those already living on limited incomes.
The decision appears to come from the National Defense Department, which has recently taken steps to privatize the commissaries by exploring ways to outsource the military grocery operations to for-profit grocers and investment firms. This development has prompted local officials and community members to look for alternative solutions to fill the void that a possible closure could create.
