BRAC Map
Below you will find a BRAC Map and Impacts on the Alexandria businesses, military organizations, and related information for Alexandria and the National Capital Region. The Alexandria Economic Development Partnership, Inc. has begun an in-depth analysis and development of a BRAC transition plan to identify the affected properties and leases, businesses, workforce, movement timing, and capital requirements.
A key next BRAC decision is the determination of the site selection for the new Washington Headquarters Service (WHS) and the 6,200 employees that were initially to move to the Ft Belvoir Engineering Proving Grounds. As part of an agreement between the Commonwealth of Virginia, Army and Virginia Department of Transportation, three alternate sites were identified for the WHS move:
- GSA Warehouse in Springfield
- Mark Center in Alexandria
- Victory Center in Alexandria
The Army is expected to make a final site selection by March 2008.
The City of Alexandria worked with other affected cities, counties, state agencies and legislative members to provide a coordinated response to the BRAC Commission. The BRAC Commission recommendations for reshaping the Defense Department's infrastructure and force structure became official on November 9, 2005 and are available at www.brac.gov/finalreport.asp The Defense Department now has until September 15, 2011 to complete implementation of these recommendations. For public inquiries about the Base Realignment and Closure process call (703) 428-0711. For media inquiries call Glenn Flood, Department of Defense, Public Affairs, (703) 695-6294.
