The 2005 Base Realignment and Closure legislation was signed into law on Nov. 9, 2005. Under BRAC law, Fort Belvoir will have a net gain of approximately 19,300 military and civilian employees - the largest net gain of any DoD installation.

BRAC 2005 will nearly double the size of Fort Belvoir's workforce to a total population of 43,000 by September 15, 2011 - the federally mandated date by which BRAC must be completed.

The cost of construction for new facilities, renovated facilities, and infrastructure projects related to the implementation of BRAC at Fort Belvoir is forecasted to cost more than $4 billion.

With all of the BRAC projects now fully under construction, the future appearance of Fort Belvoir is beginning to take shape. The post will expand to include a total of three non-contiguous sites or substations in the region. Non-contiguous Fort Belvoir property includes Rivanna Station in Charlottesville, Va, the Fort Belvoir North Area in Springfield, Va., and a portion of the Mark Center in Alexandria, Va., that are now home to three BRAC realigned organizations at Fort Belvoir. They are the Defense Intelligence Agency's Joint-Use Intelligence Analysis Facility, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency's New Campus East, and the multiple Defense Department agencies formerly in leased space in the National Capital Region, respectively.

To support the increased workforce and mission requirements, the installation will invest $157 million into roads, utilities, communications and base support facilities while renovating existing space, building new buildings for incoming tenants, reconfiguring the installation, and implementing increased traffic demand management practices to mitigate traffic concerns. During 2010-2011, Gunston, Belvoir, and Pohick Roads will be expanded to four lanes to accommodate Belvoir's growth.
