Targeting BRAC growth
Tim Wheeler reports today that state and local officials are drafting a plan for dealing with the planned influx of jobs and people connected with Base Realignment and Closure: "steer at least some of the expected business and residential growth into Baltimore City and other communities near the expanding bases, particularly Aberdeen Proving Ground and Fort Meade."
One of the more notable proposals calls for creation of so-called "BRAC zones," where tax credits or other incentives might encourage base-related business and residential growth in areas served by public transit and in need of revitalization.
Price tag: No one knows, Wheeler reports.
