Fort Meade Expansion Ignites Fears – washingtonpost.com

I actually live close to the expansion area and generally think this is positive. One thing that the planners and developers need to ensure is that they make the Arundel Gateway development mixed use. This would definitely alleviate some of the traffic concerns. If there is housing, office and retail within 1 mile, then you really don’t need a car and naturally don’t have to be in traffic so much.

So what would you think if this were happening in your neighborhood?

  • Educate the IA workforce on GIG Enterprise IA Strategy to establish a common understanding of the key strategies and concepts.
  • Understand that Systems Engineering is Architecture Driven and Distributed across the Enterprise, Programs and Solutions.
  • Involve broad Community IA Expertise.

In the past, many members have not attended forums for which they had registered, thus increasing our forum expenses.
