WPAFB is expecting around 1100 jobs from the latest round of BRAC. I don't know if you would consider that a "large" influx? Most of those jobs are coming from San Antonio in a new Human Performance Research Wing of the Air Force. Most of the research focuses on medical performance of people in flight, be it air or space.
On top of the 1100 known military and civilian positions coming to town, it is expected (a.k.a. estimated) that another 1000+ contractors will migrate here with the new performance wing. The construction as you saw has started. Most people will begin moving into the region in 2010. Some are already coming.
Still, it's hard to give exact numbers in terms of people coming and when because certain personel are not required to move, so sometimes they hire in new people. But that usually means former military personel that already have security clearances.
There's a new office park going up in Beavercreek off I-675, which is starting to fill with tenents. Then there is the new office buildings along Pentagon Blvd in Beavercreek. There's also a hospital being built in the middle of those offices.
