As the Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority, which over- sees the 3,400-acre campus, gears up for a new phase of development, those numbers tell a remarkable story: 2,000 jobs created (the initial projection was 800-900 by 2018). 133 businesses, many from out of state, or out of the country. More than $110 million annual payroll. 790,289 square feet owned by MRRA. 876,410 square feet owned by developers and businesses (including 191,745 still owned by the U.S. Navy). 20 individual property owners, including MRRA and the Navy. More than 500 units of housing developed or planned. $400 million in private investment.
