BRAC stands for Base Realignment and Closure. It is the term that is used to describe the redistribution of military and civilian personel that are being displaced and reassigned to new military bases in the US.
Today I am attending a meeting hosted by the Severna Park Chamber of Commerce with a guest speaker from John Leopold's (Anne Arundel County Executive) office. They will be discussing the impact of BRAC on our area. To give you an idea of the impact they estimate an additional 9000-14000 jobs will be created in the next 6 years in local businessess to handle the influx of people that will be moving into our area. And in case you're grabbing your resume, they're expecting the bulk of those jobs to be in high technology.
It should be a fun trip. I'm looking forward to making some more connections today.
