RELOCATING to APG, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Harford, Cecil, Baltimore County Homes

Over 2,000 New Jersey residents attended last weekend's Relocation Fair at Fort Monmouth. The Fair was organized by State, County, and local officials from Maryland and representatives at Fort Monmouth to provide information to military and civilian workers considering relocation or relocating to Aberdeen Proving Ground due to 2005 Base Realignment and Closure directives.

The fair, held at Gibbs Hall on Fort Monmouth, provided an open forum for inquisitive employees and their families to ask questions directly to area representatives while creating an opportunity for Maryland business and community leaders to address concerns, and further market the region.

Officials from Maryland, Harford, Cecil and Baltimore counties along with Baltimore City worked tirelessly throughout the three-day event delivering presentations, manning booths, and distributing information about schools, transportation, housing availability, healthcare, and the quality of life available in the area.

"Many families considering the relocation were receptive and excited about the opportunity the area will offer them," said Harford County Economic Development Director James C. Richardson. Other visitors explained they were opting not to follow their positions to Maryland. A choice that Richardson said, will create a variety of employment and advancement opportunities for families already living and working in Harford County.

Relocation fair attendees voiced concerns about the availability of public services, private schools, and the environment and were pleased to hear County Executive David Craig's BRAC Planning and Advisory Commission task force was working to address those challenges before the 2011 deadline.

Harford County Executive David R. Craig, who attended the relocation fair and a town hall meeting held Wednesday prior to the event expressed compassion for the residents and their families who are challenged by BRAC relocation decisions.

"Fort Monmouth employees and their families should be very proud of the contributions they have made to our nation's homeland defense effort," said Craig. "We know that the same dedication to duty and innovative problem solving will be duplicated at Aberdeen Proving Ground and it is our job to make sure that Harford County can meet the needs of the families relocating in our area to continue that mission. Our team is working to make sure everyone has the best information available to help them. It is difficult to predict the exact number of individuals that may move to Maryland, however, I am confident that Harford County will be prepared."
