So just how many jobs can MD expect from the 2005 BRAC?

The state is projecting that between 40,000 and 60,000 total jobs will be coming to Maryland because of the military's 2005 base realignment and closure policy when contractors are added into the total.

About 8,200 direct jobs are estimated to be coming to the Aberdeen Proving Ground in Harford County. About 5,700 new jobs are projected to be coming to Fort Meade in Anne Arundel County. Appx 25,000 contractor jobs between both areas.
