20071006 Northrop Grumman to open facility in Millersville by Staci L. George


Defense contractor Northrop Grumman Corp. will open a new information assurance center Monday in Millersville, the company announced yesterday.


The new 34,000 square-foot building at 8666 Veterans Highway could open the way for more technology companies to move into the area, one analyst said upon hearing the news.

"It is great they are moving in. It is win-win for us as a county," said Kevin Lancaster, a government consultant and managing partner of Network Federal, a government technology company in Washington. He cited benefits such as job growth, tax revenue and filling a void of high-tech services.

According to Mr. Lancaster, the area is challenged with finding, attracting, and retaining technology companies.

"This is huge," Mr. Lancaster said, noting how Northrop Grumman could have built its new facility in Howard County, Baltimore or closer to Fort George G. Meade, but chose Millersville instead. The new center will influence additional smaller companies to come to the area, bringing more jobs and services, he said.
