all this money that's used to keep maintaining these high level bases could be used in local projects (even tax-cuts!!)

My guess is that it's for if we get into the situation where we're fighting someone and need to have a nearby base of some sort, I think this is how one goes about getting them. You could ask a military official or take a guess yourself, but lets not forget we have the best military on the planet, ever. If they think we should be somewhere then it's probably a good idea that we be there.
