Virginia BRAC report relies on EMSI’s Strategic Advantage
The Northern Virgina Workforce Investment Board’s SkillSource Group, in partnership with Dr. Kenneth Poole of the Center for Regional Economic Competitiveness (affiliated with C2ER), has completed an 18-month BRAC impact study for the area in and around Fort Belvoir and Quantico Marine Base.
EMSI’s Strategic Advantage provided the “heavy-lifting” economic modeling, including the estimates of workforce impacts. Strategic Advantage was selected for the project after an extensive evaluation and comparison with the RIMS II model, because EMSI’s model “provided more extensive estimates of likely industry- and occupation-specific impacts.”
