Base Realignment And Closure (BRAC) In Alexandria

Welcome to the Alexandria BRAC Web site, a central location for information related to the impact of BRAC on Alexandria, and the potential opportunities it holds for the business community.

In May 2005, the Department of Defense issued recommendations to the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission to close and/or realign DoD agencies and installations throughout the country.

Approved in November 2005, the BRAC law requires that over 1.4 million square feet of leased office space in Alexandria be vacated. As a result, Alexandria stands to lose approximately 7,200 jobs and will play a critical role in the movement and relocation of several major military organizations, as well as the impact on the government contractor workforce, and the businesses that support the DoD agencies and community.

Working with members throughout the National Capital Region and the Department of Defense Office of Economic Development, Alexandria has begun addressing the impacts of BRAC including changes to the leased office space market and jobs in Alexandria, Arlington and Fairfax County. The Alexandria Mayors BRAC Task Force developed the “BRAC Economic Recovery Plan – Recommendations For the City of Alexandria”, as a way ahead in managing the effects of BRAC 2005.

The Alexandria BRAC 2008 Plan is built on the BRAC Economic Strategy and provides a yearly synopsis of the actions, activities, schedules, and coordination efforts to prepare for and implement the BRAC Recovery Strategy.
