Since Fort McClellan officially closed in September 2000, the Joint Power Authority (JPA) has been responsible for the “orderly reuse and redevelopment” of this 26,000 acre former military base. The vision for the reuse is broad and multifaceted, encompassing residential, retail, light manufacturing as well as research and development. This project is to develop the strategy for moving forward with identifying and promoting new opportunities in research and development activities at McClellan. Leading this strategy is AngelouEconomics, a technology-based economic development consulting firm that specializes in creating technology growth strategies for communities.  The Joint Power Authority is overseeing the project and is assisted by an Advisory Committee of regional leaders. The project will be completed in February 2007.
