When it was announced in 2005 that Fort McPherson would be closing by 2011, Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) procedures were defined and organized to process the immense task of the closing of the base and relocation of a multitude of employees.

On August 14, 2007 the AWDA hosted a luncheon meeting for Fort McPherson Human Resource managers to introduce them to representatives from area Atlanta workforce development boards and to the services they have available for displaced workers from Fort McPherson.

For more information regarding the AWDA services for BRAC, contact Shirley Harris, 404-880-7239 or Linda Williford, 404-589-3538.
