Base Realignment and Closure Services

The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) provides many communities and Local Redevelopment Authorities (LRAs) an opportunity to stimulate their local economies by redeveloping underutilized DoD properties. Negotiating with the DoD under the Early Transfer process can be extremely challenging—but the experts at ELM are here to help.
