A site that’s now home to government warehouses will be studied as a possible location to accommodate part of the titanic military job shift coming to Fort Belvoir, despite a warning by the Army that the plan doesn’t make sense.

Under a defense bill awaiting the president’s signature, the U.S. General Services Administration’s 70-acre property near Springfield would be considered as a possible home to some of the workers. The study is part of a massive planning effort to prepare the region for the arrival of about 22,000 new jobs to Belvoir, mandated by 2011 under federal Base Closure and Realignment directives.
