Book synopsis

To understand how base closings, as part of the Base§Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process, affect the§local community (the place), as well as the character§of the place, an ethnographic case study was§undertaken in the community surrounding Fort Ritchie§Army Garrison, slated for closure as part of the 1995§BRAC round. Interwoven with this understanding of§place are individual stories of those affected by the§closing and how they, based on their relationship to§the place and the meanings they attach to it,§responded to the closing and the ensuing reuse§process. I conducted in-depth interviews, spent time§in the community, reviewed archival records, and§collected and analyzed demographic and economic data§to quantify some of the social and economic impacts§on the area over time, and conducted a post hoc§Social Impact Assessment. Though this book is the§story of how one community has responded and adjusted§to the loss of the military, lessons can be learned§by other communities facing base closings, as well as§by federal entities tasked with overseeing and§facilitating the process.
