Welcome to Whiteford, Taylor & Preston’s BRAC Blog, a blog dedicated to covering the challenges and opportunities of Base Realignment and Closure 2005 and its impact on the region’s business community from a legal perspective.
On May 13, 2005, the Department of Defense announced its recommendations for the latest round of Base Realignment and Closure, BRAC 2005. “BRAC” refers to the process of reorganizing our nation’s military infrastructure by closing some bases and expanding others, and numerous military activities in the area have been affected. BRAC is a very complicated process, and its significant impact on the Greater Washington, D.C./Baltimore area raises a broad range of current and potential conflicts as well as legal and political issues, which we aim to identify and analyze in our Blog. If you are a small business, a large corporation, an independent entrepreneur or a resident in the area, you will likely be impacted in some way by BRAC.
This Blog is comprised of commentary and thoughts from Whiteford’s legal professionals, representing a diverse group of practice areas – everything from government contracts and regulatory law to intellectual property, real estate, employment and labor, environmental law and construction. We endeavor to keep you informed on a variety of timely topics and legal issues connected to BRAC and we welcome your participation in that process.
Please let us know what you think by posting comments to the Blog entries or emailing Brad Aaron at jaaron@wtplaw.com or Heather James at hjames@wtplaw.com. Of course, you can also contact any of the blog posters directly (each poster's contact information is available by clicking directly on the poster's name at the end of each post).
Thanks for checking in – we hope you find this Blog a valuable resource in understanding the benefits, problems and challenges of present (and future) BRAC rounds.
