Since you made me go and look it up.....

Yes, more or less, but with (hopefully) less governmental oversight as long as the contracted results are produced. (By which I mean that I am presuming there is a decent government oversight in day to day operations of Lake City; for Rock Island scenario, the presumption would be fro lowered government oversight

(We're producing what you want and it is costing the government less; what else do you need to know? )



Lake City itself can be an interesting location for a T2K scenario - if operational, the plant is an asset that would need to be protected - including it's workforce. Who holds Missouri, MilGov or CivGov?

Keeping it operational - or alternatively, shutting it down without destroying it, or an unwelcome visit to its warehouses, could be and interesting piece of campaign. Lots of buildings, lots of space (all mighty flat terrain).

By canon, there are no named strikes against Rock Island or Lake City (or the other similar plants across the country), but cannon includes a number of smaller nukes that may have been used against unnamed targets...
