Our Projects

Enables the Alamogordo School District to complete the construction of an elementary school and middle school to replace #48 Holloman Elementary School (486 students) and #50 Holloman Middle School (191 students) to address condition and capacity deficiencies. The new design includes a progressive program vision for the PK-5 facility with a STEAM focus with 2 maker spaces and a virtual reality science lab. The school serves students who are children of military, civilian, and contractors who work Holloman Air Force Base. Fiscal Year 2023 Award

Enables the Geary County Unified School District 475 to complete the construction of #38 Jefferson Elementary School (389 students) to address capacity and condition deficiencies. The gymnasium will also serve as a storm shelter that will be designed to FEMA 361 standards for a 250 mph wind event and include a stage for student performances. The school serves students who are children of military, civilian, and contractors who work Fort Riley. Fiscal Year 2023 Award

Enables the State of Hawaii's Department of Education to replace the 1950's era #33 Mokapu Elementary School (975 students). The total project will construct a pre-kindergarten through sixth grade facility to educate up to 975 students. The school serves students who are children of military, civilian, and contractors who work at Marine Corps Base Hawaii. Fiscal Year 2023 Award

Enables the Lompoc Unified School District to complete the design plans and specifications to expand and renovate #40 Manzanita Public Charter School to provide a 522-student school on Vandenberg Space Force Base serving grades transitional-kindergarten through sixth. This award will enable the design phase of the project to move forward while the School District continues its efforts to finalize firm construction costs, and secure matching funds for the construction phase of the project. The school serves the students who are children of military, civilian, and contractors who work at Vandenberg Space Force Base. Fiscal Year 2023 Award

Enables the Alamo Area Council of Governments to perform a military Installation Readiness assessment for Joint Base San Antonio, Fort Sam Houston, Lackland Air Force Base, Port San Antonio, and Kelly Field. The assessment will include electrical, gas, and petroleum product infrastructure, availability of backup power sources and critical loads in the study region, including communications infrastructure supporting energy industrial controls and backup energy requirements for water/wastewater lift and pump stations, and present a prioritized list of recommendations that the community and Joint Base San Antonio may undertake, supporting the readiness of both Joint Base San Antonio and the greater Alamo Region. Fiscal Year 2023 Award

This supplemental funding supports the original grant effort to enable the City of Jacksonville to carry out a recommendation from the initial Joint Land Use Study to conduct a feasibility study to relocate Douglass Gate at Marine Corps Air Station New River. The relocation would improve installation readiness by eliminating current congestion and safety concerns along US Highway 17. Feasibility study results will inform the submission of a project in the future North Carolina Department of Transportation prioritization cycle. Fiscal Year 2023 Award

Enables the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority to analyze encroachment and resilience concerns for the Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station (NFARS) and to develop a plan to address those concerns. Encroachment concerns are related to urban development, transportation and wildlife. Resilience concerns generally relate to flooding and utilities. The goal of the plan is to support the long-term readiness and sustainability of NFARS and the surrounding community. Fiscal Year 2023 Award

Enables Crook County to create an overlay zone with criteria and DoD notification requirements for relevant energy development applications as required by Oregon law. The criteria and overlay zone map will be adopted into official Crook County plans. The goal of the proposed project is to codify criteria and triggers for Crook County pre-application coordination with the DoD on projects that represent potential encroachment into the military airspace. Fiscal Year 2023 Award

Enables the Lowcountry Council of Governments to carry out recommendations of a recently completed resilience study in coordination with Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort and Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island. The primary goal is to provide scoping and design for the Shell Point Interchange, which serves nearby neighborhoods and is the only land entrance to U.S. Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island. The interchange also serves as a major U.S. highway and is a critical evacuation and access route for both the Marine installation and the community. The pilot project will address issues that directly impact installation access. Fiscal Year 2023 Award

Enables the Northern Virginia Regional Commission to advance regional strategies identified in their recent resilience study and assist Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall, Fort Belvoir, and Marine Corps Base Quantico and the surrounding communities with preparing for or mitigating changes in the region. The Northern Virginia Regional Commission will develop plans, policies, and technical analysis related to inland flooding, coastal flooding, heat, emergency management, regional connectivity and access, and land use/development compatibility that will inform future infrastructure projects, and will establish a formal mechanism to support and track Military Installation Readiness Review strategies.
