The move, though, was unrelated to Andrew as they had been planning it for space reasons and also it was in keeping with the NOAA/NWS realignment and relocation of forecast offices and facilities to be generally colocated near educational institutions, research facilities,or other agencies with which they worked closely. For example the TUS office became a WSFO and moved to the University of Arizona while the Phoenix office is colocated with the Salt River Project offices.
