Our Projects

Enables the State of Indiana, through Purdue University, to support at least 100 defense suppliers located in Daviess, Marion, Martin, Miami, and Whitley counties with capability studies in dual-use technology sectors and at least 8 suppliers with technology adoption projects. This project stimulates cooperation between statewide and local adjustment and diversification efforts. Fiscal Year 2024 Award

Enables the Southeastern Connecticut Council of Governments, in partnership with nine municipalities, to complete a compatible use study to sustain a strategic planning and project implementation relationship with Submarine Base New London, an operating installation with the primary mission of deploying fast attack submarines and training the submarine force. Topics included in the study are coordinated infrastructure, compatible built environments, and collaborative implementation and cost sharing to prevent incompatible civilian development in the growing region that may impair the continued operational utility of the installation. These efforts enhance and strengthen the critical maritime work in the region, which support the Department of War's nuclear submarine development priorities. Fiscal Year 2024 Award

This supplemental funding supports the original project to enable the Southeastern Connecticut Council of Government to advance design projects identified by local utilities as being necessary to improve the reliability of electrical power, natural gas, and drinking water systems that serve Submarine Base New London and the surrounding area. Fiscal Year 2024 Award

Enables the Pikes Peak Area Council of Governments in partnership with the U.S. Air Force Academy, Peterson Space Force Base, and Fort Carson, to coordinate joint planning exercises, such as table-top exercises, necessary to protect vital infrastructure in the Colorado region and address stormwater erosion threats acutely impacting U.S. Air Force Academy critical habitat and installation readiness. This effort builds upon past installation readiness efforts by implementing detailed strategies aimed at projecting strength from the Colorado Front Range through improved interoperability and cross-jurisdictional emergency response to wildfire and stormwater flooding threats. Fiscal Year 2024 Award

Enables the City of Cocoa to develop engineering design drawings for future construction of a 16-inch water main to connect to existing pipelines at Patrick Space Force Base. The proposed line will supply redundancy in water service to both Patrick Space Force Base and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station by completing a loop with the existing mains. This will reduce or eliminate interrupted water service to Patrick Space Force Base during emergency events and extreme weather conditions, thus allowing the base to continue its critical space launch, range and combat capability missions, and provide launch support to Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Fiscal Year 2024 Award

Enables the Economic Development Commission of Florida's Space Coast to address wastewater infrastructure challenges facing Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and adjacent communities in Brevard County. The current wastewater treatment facility at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, located on a barrier island, is exposed to hurricanes and coastal flooding and will likely exceed capacity by 2031 due to increased spaceflight activity and operations tempo from the Space Force's Spaceport of the Future efforts. This project will plan for an off-installation, joint regional facility on the mainland to accommodate increased space launch activities and the growth of the industrial base supporting spaceport activities. The regional wastewater treatment facility planning study will confirm flow projections from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and Brevard County communities, determine advanced wastewater treatment options, and develop a project phasing plan all in support of mission readiness, enhancing Department of War's aerospace capabilities, and strengthening the industrial base. Fiscal Year 2024 Award

This supplemental funding supports the original project to enable the South Florida Regional Planning Council, in partnership with three counties and eight municipalities, to conduct a resilience study that analyzes risks to critical infrastructure due to flooding and extreme weather involving the surrounding localities that support the continued mission readiness of Naval Air Station Key West, Homestead Air Reserve Base, U.S. Army Garrison Miami, and the Naval Surface Warfare Center South Florida Measurement Facility. Fiscal Year 2024 Award

Enables the State of California, in close coordination with the state's military installations and regional installation commands, to identify and respond to threats or disruptions with impacts to vital community infrastructure critical to core military readiness and domestic force projection across the state. Key objectives within this statewide installation readiness effort include developing a framework of collaboration, communication, and cohesive planning between military installations and local jurisdictions through a core project team that will lead cross-sector forums, strategic working groups, and tabletop exercises in support of matching threats with capabilities. This effort supports readiness and modernization for 30+ military installations across California – preserving a geographically unique domestic force projection platform into the Pacific and increasing mission readiness and defense capabilities. Fiscal Year 2024 Award

This supplemental funding supports the original project to enable the State of Connecticut, through the Connecticut Department of Community and Economic Development, to launch the Scaling Model-Based Definition project to develop technical tools and resources to support the readiness, modernization, and lethality of the state's defense industrial base, representing more than 700 defense suppliers. The supplemental project further enables the readiness and modernization of the defense industrial base by analyzing public infrastructure and services in coordination with Original Equipment Manufacturers, local installations, and the local community. This project stimulates cooperation between statewide and local adjustment and diversification efforts. Fiscal Year 2024 Award

This congressionally directed grant enables the State of Arkansas to preserve and protect the public health, safety, and general welfare of those living near the former Hot Springs Army Navy Hospital located on Hot Springs National Park. Fiscal Year 2024 Award
