Since being designated as a major benefactor of the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure decision, an influx of new construction, employees and residents are settling into the Fort Meade area.

Between now and 2011, Maryland will experience the largest single surge of economic growth since the end of World War II — not just at Fort Meade but also at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Andrews Air Force Base and National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda.
Nearly 42,000 jobs are expected to come to Fort Meade area in the next several years — inside and outside the installation gates as part of BRAC and additional growth among government agencies. That anticipated growth is expected to have a more than $9 billion annual economic impact on the Fort Meade region.
As a direct result of BRAC, the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) is transitioning nearly 4,300 government, civilian, military and embedded contractor employees to the base.
Defense Media Activity and DoD Consolidated Adjudication Activities will add about 1,400 jobs to Fort Meade between August 2010 and September 2011.
Fort Meade has been designated the home of the newly created U.S. Cyber Command and will bring an estimated 20,000 jobs over the next 10 years.
Those are just the newest Fort Meade government agencies and organizations, who are now added to the list of more than 80 current FGGM federal government agencies and organizations including the National Security Agency that bring tremendous opportunity to the business community.Since being designated as a major benefactor of the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure decision, an influx of new construction, employees and residents are beginning to settle into the Fort Meade area.
