The Huntsville Times recently reported an update on the progress of the BRAC transfer by interviewing Joe Ritch (Tn Valley BRAC Executive Committee Chairman).
Here’s the stats:
-4700 new positions added by the end of 2011
-700 of those positions were moved here in 2008
-Only ~ 240 BRAC posts are expected to be moved here in 2009. Ritch commented on 2009 moves by saying, “They now have filled up any available space where they can put people on a temporary basis,” he said. “The next thing is, we’ve got to have completed buildings in order to accomodate them.” In 2008, construction started on MDA’s 840,000 square foot addition to the Von Braun Complex. Construction also began on the 400,000 square foot Material Command headquarters, which will host ~ 1325 AMC positions and ~ 360 Security Assistance Command jobs.
-There’s been a total of ~ 1600 positions moved to Redstone since 2006.
-The majority of the positions are scheduled to be here in 2010 and 2011, with nearly 1900 positions in 2010 alone!
……Just another reason why 2009’s Buyer’s Market is the time to build your dream home, unless you like competing with 1900 other home buyers……
Just passing by.Btw, you website have great content!
