Can Security Concerns Be Addressed in Arlington?
Due to concerns
about violating BRAC confidentiality rules, military officials have
been reluctant to work with the private sector and local officials
to explore security options in Arlington, according to Governor
Mark Warner. In his closing
remarks before the BRAC commission July 7, he stated that the
"process simply did not allow DoD to do the kinds of things
it needed to do in order to produce a series of better, cheaper
and more secure leased space options."
In response,
Arlington has proposed alternatives that would save millions of
dollars over the DOD recommendations. See Arlington's proposal.
