Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC)
On November 9, 2005 the President approved the BRAC recommendations and report submitted by the U.S. Department of Defense. The BRAC approval process involves making decisions that will affect the realignment of military bases throughout America. With the closing of military bases in New Jersey, the State of Maryland has become a great beneficiary of new military and civilian jobs.
In September 2007, The Sage Policy Group completed a demographic study of the seven jurisdictions (Harford County, Cecil County, Baltimore County, Lancaster County, New Castle County, Baltimore City and York County) that will be affected by BRAC. According to the Sage Report the Aberdeen Proving Ground BRAC project will create nearly 28,000 jobs, attract nearly 17,000 households and boost population by roughly 45,000 between now and 2017 in the seven - jurisdiction study area. (Aberdeen Proving Ground BRAC Impacts on Seven Jurisdictions, Sage Policy Group, Inc., September 2007).
