History of the Baltimore District
As the threat of a coastal attack diminished during the 1820s, the nation turned its attention to developing roadways, railways, railroads, canals and communications networks. The assistance provided by Army engineers marked the beginning of Baltimore’s Civil Works mission. Within the North Atlantic Region, the district supports the construction of state-of-the-art Army medical and technological research facilities; the design and cleanup of formerly used defense sites (FUDS) and civilian sites; performs the unique mission of providing drinking water to the District of Columbia, Arlington County and Falls Church, Va.; and is the geopolitical capital of the Base Realignment and Closure 2005 mission, meeting the challenges of an unprecedented $7.1 billion military construction workload. Baltimore District is a diverse organization, ready to meet future challenges,
whatever and wherever they might be. |
