WASHINGTON, Sept. 12 /U.S. Newswire/ -- U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine 
L. Chao today announced a $600,000 grant to the state of New Jersey for 
planning activities related to the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) 
actions planned for Fort Monmouth. In September 2005, the BRAC 
Commission released its report recommending the closure of Fort 
Monmouth, whose facilities extend through the New Jersey municipalities

"This $600,000 grant will enable the development of a strategic plan to 
help workers and local communities prepare for the closure of Fort

and wisely so that resources are in place to assist workers and local 
businesses."
