The directory below and news summary provides website links and contacts for the community economic development organizations which face the challenge of redeveloping for alternate use the military installations which will be closed or scaled back as part of the 2005 BRAC - base realignment and closure - process.

Some communities may also face the challenge of rapid growth as missions are consolidated in new locations, whether as relocations or as joint use with other services, or because of redeployments of forces formerly based overseas.

September 8 - The BRAC Commission sent their recommendations to President Bush as expected, after excluding a change in Connecticut which is under a judicial order and appeal process. Other legal challenges to the proposed changes have not yet been successful, including attempts to get the US Supreme Court to intervene in the recommendations.	Various states tried to get courts to block the recommendations, particularly for the Monmouth NJ base closure and various Air National Guard changes, generally on the premise that such changes require prior review and approval by the state governors.
August 29, 2005 Hurricane Katrina affected some of the Gulf Coast locations. It is unclear whether this will affect the recent Commission recommendations, notably in the case of the Naval Support Activity in New Orleans and decisions to close various Gulf Coast ports or realign many National Guard operations which support disaster situations such as this.	Refer to the BRAC Commission website for current details of their decisions. The purpose of the listings below is to highlight the economic development organizations in the affected areas as this process moves beyond their realignment and closure recommendations, and as affected areas face the challenge of redeveloping and attracting new business investment.
August 26, 2005 - The BRAC Commission, during final deliberations and markup votes, has already voted on several changes to the Pentagon base closure and realignment recommendations. Their final report to President Bush and Congress with all their recommendations may not be issued until early September, for presidential approval or rejection by September 23, followed by Congressional review until . They have already approved many of the Pentagon recommendations as expected, including some controversial proposals: Close Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington DC in favor of a new joint Walter Reed medical facility in Bethesda MD near the National Institute of Health, with some operations moving to Fort Belvoir in northern Virginia Close San Antonio Medical Center in favor of joint operations there Close Fort Gillem and Fort McPherson in Georgia Close Fort Monroe in Virginia Close Army Garrison Selfridge in Michigan Close Fort Monmouth in New Jersey , moving C4ISR to Aberdeen MD Close Marine Corps Reserve Support Center Kansas City, Missouri Close Ingleside Texas Naval Station and realign NAS Corpus Christi Close Naval Station Pascagoula, Mississippi Close Onizuka Air Force Station in California Realign Langley AFB in Virginia and Lackland AFB in Texas Close (consolidate) many small Army Reserve and National Guard facilities in favor of joint facilities and relocation of operations as proposed. There are some legal challenges to the BRAC Commission authority to close National Guard bases (especially Air) without the prior approval of the state governors involved. Close most leased office space in northern Virginia and other locations in favor of relocation of operations to more secure military base locations, generally but not always in the same region or travel to work area. This is clearly going to open up a lot of leased space in northern Virginia as implementation moves forward.	The BRAC Commission has also chosen to recommend changes to the Pentagon proposals, which as reported so far include : Not close Cannon Air Force Base in Clovis New Mexico - given the obvious economic impact on the community. This action still removes the planes as planned and basically leaves it as a warm base which needs to have some other mission assigned to it, or else it will close in 2010. It therefore remains at risk. Not close Ellsworth Air Force Base in Rapid City, South Dakota Not close Red River Army Depot in New Boston, Texas Not close Hawthorne Army Depot in Nevada Not close Portsmouth Naval Shipyard at Kittery, Maine Not close Submarine Base New London , Connecticut Close (not realigning) Naval Air Station Brunswick, Maine Not close the jet training base in Oceana, Virginia - with conditions to resolve serious encroachment safety issues soon - otherwise it may yet close, with review of the viability of relocation to Cecil Field in Jacksonville, Florida as one option Not relocate the night vision lab at Fort Belvoir, Virginia to Aberdeen MD Not close the Naval Support Activity in New Orleans, Louisiana - with conditions Not close the Broadway Complex in San Diego, California - with conditions Not close the Naval Support Activity in Corona, California Close the Galena Alaska Forward Operating Location Not realign Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska into a "warm base" Not close the 26 DFAS (Defense Finance & Accounting Services) locations down to 3, but rather to 5, with Limestone ME, Rome NY, and Cleveland OH gaining along with Indianapolis IN and Columbus OH, while Denver DFAS is to be closed Create a joint medical command HQ in the national capital region by consolidating operations from 3 sites (Potomac Annex, Fort Bolling, and VA leased space)
Note that it is not the role of this website or page to track all details and developments of the BRAC process, although we try to maintain timely information for quick reference about the affected areas and local economic development organizations which may be involved. The directory below identifies many such local organizations and contacts. For other state and local contacts, refer to our Invest USA directory or directory of governors.	Our focus is to make it easier to find and reach relevant economic development contacts in the affected areas, and share information about communities affected in previous BRAC rounds, since the executives and professionals we serve may have interest in the potential redevelopment plans and promotional efforts of the affected communities. In this context, we can help such communities to call attention to their development plans after BRAC.
Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission (2005 BRAC) website : www.brac.gov Their "e-library" provides access to publicly available documents, such as the justification provided by the Department of Defense for the proposed BRAC changes, and the many subsequent community presentations in opposition to the proposed changes, and BRAC Commission staff analysis and recommendations.	The BRAC Commission website also published their schedule for: site visits to affected bases regional hearings and Washington DC meetings Note that C-SPAN2 television has broadcast many of the BRAC meetings, and also has timely information available about the BRAC process through their website.
May 13, 2005 - The BRAC base realignment and closure list has now been released, and the links above are to sources of information about the affected communities. If you contact economic development organizations or service providers in this directory, please tell them how you found them since it is our objective to be helpful as they face this transition. The links below scroll down to information about BRAC changes by region or state. The major 2005 changes (defined for our own purposes as affecting more than 100 jobs in a location) have been added to our list of prior BRAC changes below, along with the local economic development websites and contacts. We usually don't list small changes (under 100 net direct jobs gained or lost). Refer to our Invest USA directory for quick reference about contacts in many other US locations, or our global Contacts directories.	Graphic and data illustrating the impact of BRAC changes by state. The report by the US Department of Defense on the BRAC 2005 impact by state (PDF) provides the official summary of proposed job gains and losses for each location, but does not elaborate on the rationale or details of the base closure or realignment proposals. We help communities through their economic development transitions by helping to attract new business investment projects in support of their recovery plans and growth strategies. Many former military locations are also listed in our Foreign Trade Zones directory.

BRAC 2005 is quite different from earlier ones. It was deliberately designed to minimize political influence and focus on the future needs of the military. The independent BRAC commission can recommend changes during its' brief tenure in this long process, but the 85% approval level of past BRAC rounds is likely to be even higher this time. There will be changes, but clearly most areas should not expect them.

Lobbying against the proposals, although always tempting, may well prove to be a waste of time and resources. Areas facing losses need to already work to replace whatever is being lost. The BRAC Commission hearings have certainly turned up flaws in some of the data and analysis behind closure and realignment recommendations, as well as the omission of important considerations about some of the locations, so there may well be some revisions, but this is not new since the same was true in the data and analysis of past rounds.

One specific area in which the BRAC Commission has expressed concern about the recommendations is the many closure or relocation changes to Air National Guard units.

Although virtually all areas tried to "save" their bases from closure or realignment job losses, lobbying efforts this time were likely by design to be even more difficult and less productive than in past BRAC rounds. It is certainly not a "rubber stamp" review process, but the odds were heavily against most changes.

Areas facing closure or realignment losses should already be working on their alternative use strategies and planning for any environmental site remediation, redevelopment assistance, early transfer negotiations, and development strategies for a more successful transition. This is a lengthy process, and delays just postpone local economic recovery.

US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld reported and published his recommendations to the defense committees in Congress and the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission on May 13, 2005. Many military installations nationwide will be affected, because the size and needs of the military have changed dramatically in recent decades.

Although the subsequent review and approval process for these recommendations will continue for several months (until November 7, 2005) as the Commission, Congress, and President Bush review the BRAC list of recommendations, the expectation is that any community with a base on that list in May can reliably expect the change recommended by Secretary Rumsfeld to occur. This should be confirmed by September 23, 2005, when President Bush must communicate his approval or disapproval of the recommendations.

This process has already been well-defined and in progress for a long time to decide which military installations are now surplus to future needs. Many of the potentially affected communities have been working hard to try to avert closure of their local base, but must now realistically develop viable plans for alternate uses and implement them as fast as possible.

Our GUIDE Network Survey, Area Profile and many other services can also summarize the progress of redevelopment efforts, and highlight the benefits of these business locations. Our regional and state directories, as shown in the Invest USA section, can combine with other services to help market these communities to business executives and professional advisors who may value them as attractive locations for their business investment projects.

The Red River Commerce Park is one of many examples of base redevelopment initiatives after the 1990's BRAC rounds, which already affected many communities.

It is located at the Red River Army Depot, which has some major logistics, industrial, and other global force support missions recommended for closure in BRAC 2005, and adjacent to the Lone Star Army Ammunition plant, another planned closure.

Such areas are far ahead of communities which will face redevelopment challenges in the wake of the 2005 BRAC process.

We can highlight both types of areas, as both may be of interest to potential investors in former military base locations. Unless otherwise specified, however, the focus of this page will be to highlight communities affected by the 2005 BRAC round.

This area is home to Fort Bragg and Pope Air Force Base.

Both face major BRAC realignments involving thousands of people who will need the support of this community during that transition process, as is their long tradition.

This may also create some new business opportunities in the area.

Even though the net impact in terms of direct total military, civilian, and contract jobs as reported in the Defense recommendations to the BRAC Commission will be a small gain in jobs in this area, the reality is that this will affect thousands of individuals in the area.

2005 Base Realignment and Closure Commission - met starting May 3 in preparation for the May 13 BRAC list announcement by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. The Commission members who will review that list were announced in March 2005 - Anthony Principi leads it as chairman. They will give their recommendations to President Bush in September after regional hearings and visits to the affected bases. Their final list of recommendations becomes final unless President Bush or Congress takes action to reject their list in whole, so even fewer changes than in the past (85% approval rate) are expected even though the Commission has the authority to make changes.

Overseas Basing Commission - this independent panel established by Congress in May 2004 issued their initial report on May 9. 2005 (final due August 15) recommending some changes to the Integrated Global Presence and Basing Strategy (IGPBS), such as to slow down the repositioning of overseas forces while adequate preparations are made to do it properly. Concerns included quality of life issues during and after any such military family relocations from the first day to the last day of such transitions. There was also concern about foreign status of forces agreements for any proposed new base locations, interagency review and participation in the planning process for the new overseas basing structure, and congressional oversight of global re-posturing - including the political and military to military collaboration aspects of repositioning forces, For example, NATO integration at operational levels for training missions is important, rather than just meetings among the generals and political leaders. This is a factor in collaboration and integrated performance among commanders in the field.
