To combine the Armor and Infantry School, into a single "Center of Manuever Training". Only 2 elements that close with and kill bad guys, so combine the schools and train them all at the same place. Also means the training for the Infantry and Armor are more closely related as they mutually support on the battlefield, and the doctrine and tactics have to be well integrated.

Knox got the Army personnel managers (Human Resource Command). Call it 7500 full time folks, as opposed to the School whose students come and go evry 4-5 months.

Economically, its a gain to the local area, and the total post permanent population increases by about 5000 as a net gain after the school personnel are counted as a loss.

And to be selfish, as I live with in hearing range of tank live fire main gun ranges, my home value will go up, and I won't hear the windows rattle anymore when they shoot 120mm main guns in Jan-Feb cold nights.

Last reason, GA has east coast sea ports, and its closer to the gulf of mexico for deploymentshan Knox. GA also includes Fort Stewart, the Army's second largest Armor post, and Benning is one of its biggest Infantry posts.
