  Commission Recommendation Conveyance Report

BRAC Summary: The Commission recommends the closure of Fort Devens and the retention of 4,600 acres and those facilities essential to support Reserve Component Training requirements; and realignment of the 10th SFG to Fort Carson. Instead of moving Headquarters, ISC, and supporting elements to Fort Devens from Forts Huachuca, Monmouth, and Belvoir and leased space in the National Capital Region as recommended by the 1988 Base Realignment and Closure Commission, retain Headquarters, ISC, at Fort Huachuca and support elements at Fort Monmouth, and relocate selected ISC elements from Fort Belvoir to Fort Ritchie or another location in the National Capital Region.

Property Description: Fort Devens is located 35 miles northwest of Boston, in north-central Massachusetts within the towns of Ayer and Shirley in Middlesex County, and the towns of Harvard and Lancaster in Worcester County. The site covers approximately 9,300 acres divided into North Post, Main Post, and South Post. The North and Main Posts are separated from the South Post by Massachusetts Route 2. The Nashua River runs through the North, Main and South Posts and the area around the former Fort Devens is primarily rural and residential.
