Harford County stands to gain nearly $2 billion a year from increased activity at Aberdeen Proving Ground, though questions remain about the county?s readiness after a town hall meeting Monday.
County officials called the meeting to update the public on their preparations for the Base Realignment and Closure changes, which are expected to shift 8,200 on-base military and civilian jobs to Aberdeen from bases in New Jersey, Northern Virginia and Texas. During the meeting, officials revealed the latest estimates of BRAC?s impact, which should include a sizable boost to the county?s economy.
