Alexandria and Arlington have jointly created a BRAC Transition Center to coordinate the workforce and business strategies that must exist in order to take advantage of potential economic growth arising from BRAC 2005 decisions.

The BRAC Transition Center serves as the hub of activity for workers and businesses seeking assistance to navigate the BRAC process. Its purpose is to serve as a type of “one-stop” for information, resources, worker services, business assistance, references, and networking for workers and businesses directly and indirectly affected by BRAC decisions. It provides a range of services from career counseling to starting a business, creating a powerful synergy of economic endeavor.

The Center staff includes workforce development experts, economic development experts, and BizLaunch representatives working collaboratively to service the needs of affected workers and businesses. On a rotational basis, the Center will host community partners such as educational institutions, staffing agencies, professional associations, SBA, security clearance experts, CARE representatives, federal procurement representatives, and telework representatives to hold symposiums, brown bags, and trainings for interested workers and businesses. A schedule of activities will be available in the Center.

The Alexandria and Arlington BRAC Transition Center is located in the Crystal City Underground; enter at 1750 Crystal Drive near Morton’s Steakhouse.
