Well they successfully modified the weather and figured out how to do it. Specifically the ionosphere. They probably decided nuclear bursts in space were sufficient and cheaper than manning and guarding the facility which was hard to justify being kept closed to the public and scientists not in the DoD.
So they dismantled it. This way no one can prove that what they learned was mind control and weather manipulation and the best methods of achieving this through experimentation.
The failed, bid/buyout is probably just a coverup to make it look legitimate.
