1. 0 Defense and Homeland Security Industry Cluster Analysis Preliminary Results April 14, 2009

2. 1 Genesis of the Study  One of the key objectives of the BRAC RTF is to assist in the transformation of the regional economy around Ft Bragg from its traditional base of textiles and agriculture to a more diverse and resilient economy based on support for the nation’s defense and homeland security needs.  To support this objective, the BRAC RTF needed a means of projecting the shape of this new economy so that plans could be made to promote and attract critical industries to the region. No industries are to be excluded, but to achieve transformation, those industries linked to the changes that BRAC is bringing must be targeted and attracted to the region.
