Walter Reed/Bethesda Naval BRAC Merger Impact Reviewed
Janet M September 18th, 2007
The local communities are awaiting release of the Dept of Navy’s Environmental Impact Study (EIS) as it relates to the scheduled BRAC (Base Realignment and Closure) move of Walter Reed Army Medical Center to the Bethesda National Naval Medical Center scheduled for 2011. The EIS, originally anticipated to be released in September 2007 and which is expected to be delayed, will provide detailed information on the environmental impact of the consolidation, with traffic being a major focus. The EIS will be subject to an organized 45-day public comment.
A County website devoted to the BRAC issues both locally and throughout Maryland is under construction and will facilitate community understanding of BRAC-related issues. The Montgomery County BRAC Implementation Committee will hold its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, October 16th at the B-CC Regional Service Center (near Bethesda Metro) at 4805 Edgemoor Lane at 7:30 p.m. The public is invited to attend. Time is allowed at the end of the meeting for public comments.
