Ft. Meade, Anne Arundel County, Continues to Grow with BRAC

FtMeadeLogoCity of Ft. Meade Growing Everyday!

This is so exciting for the state of Maryland.  Ft. Meade contributes $18 billion (yes, billion!) to our economy each year.  Wow!

One of the issues that BRAC is now focusing on is small businesses and how to connect them to BRAC opportunities.  This is music to my ears! 

There are 41,000 workers on base and 85% of them are white-collar civilian workers.  An average DISA employee is a computer and/or an electrical engineer and makes $108,000.  Another wow!

Do you own a small business?  Are you entrepreneurial and looking for business opportunities?  Do you want to relocate or move to a growing area? 

Come to Odenton, Maryland and the Piney Orchard community.  You bring your business ideas and we will help you with your housing.  Buying or renting, we can help.
