Jim, Jacki, Doug and Howard were on hand today as we attended a BRAC presentation put on by Landmark Engineering for their builders, developers, realtors, attorney clients. The purpose of the seminar was to update the economic growth community of the status of the BRAC relocation and it's potential business opportunities. We were pleased to be the only Landmark partner invited to attend and display our BRAC posters, company literature and distribute our popular white JCM bags filled with Landmark and JCM goodies.
If you are not aware, the Army is closing Fort Monmouth in 2 years and transferring all the jobs to the Aberdeen base in Maryland which is only 25 miles away from Newark. This is called BRAC.
The speakers at the seminar were Hilary Ruske, the Army go-to guy that is heading this entire transition; a presentation by Steve Bomberger for the Home Builders Association of Delaware; Karl Kalbacher of New Castle County Economics; Vernon Thompson of Cecil County Economic Development, and Cyndi McLaughlin of UD.
They talked that an estimated 8,000 people will relocate to Aberdeen by the time Fort Monmouth NJ base permanently closes September 2011. They also talked about the huge potential opportunity for growth along Rt. 40 corridor between Newark and Aberdeen – growth in homes, shopping, stores, development, etc. Steve Bomberger shared a testimonial letter of praise from a BRAC transferee that bought a home from them.

Another Way We Help Our Clients
Last weekend JCM Environmental was the Signature Sponsor for the "Know Before You Go" Expo in the Fort Monmouth area. The Expo was to assist the 15,000 transferees in learning more about the Aberdeen Area prior to their move prior to September 2011.
JCM Environmental teamed with some of our Green Building clients to educate the transferees about the value of buying a green built home. We also educated them on the value of a certification in order to ensure that the home they are buying is really green.
Several JCM Employees were stationed in our booth right at the entrance to the expo as well as several of our builder clients. Everyone we talked to was a transferee and was making the move from NJ to either MD or DE. About 300 families came to our booth and learned about the green built homes in the area.
JCM Environmental also presented three Green Building Seminars throughout the weekend.
Two local newspapers also visited with JCM Environmental and plan to do stories on the expo and talk about Green Built Homes.
JCM also made numerous great connections with new builders, Realtors, government officials and others at the expo.
