The newest member to the Howard County BRAC task force

I am proud to announce that I have been selected as a new member to the Housing Committee of the Howard County BRAC task force. I am very honored to have the opportunity to serve the community in this way. I promise to work hard to protect the interests of the citizens of Howard County. Especially when it comes to housing issues.

The task force is now entering it's Phase three stage where we will take our initial findings and compare them with the State of Maryland BRAC Report. Our goal will be to reconcile the two reports and look for opportunities and challenges. Our job is to keep the issues in the forefront by communicating them across the region. We will make recommendations to our local and state officials in order to share our perspective and educate them on the local issues and our findings.

In addition, there are other regional organizations forming to address the effects of BRAC on our community. We will also be tasked with a coordination effort with surrounding groups to address all of the issues that BRAC effects. Although I will be focusing on housing issues, other important issues include: Health and Human Services, Education, Transportation, Infrastructure, as well as others.
