NJ	Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst	Installation Readiness	$450,000.00
Enables Ocean County, in partnership with Ocean and Burlington Counties, to review accomplishments and update the implementation components of the previous 2009 JB McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst Joint Land Use Study. The study will focus on impacts to the base's training areas, ranges, and airspace due to increased commercial and residential development as well as produce an energy supply assessment that incorporates the base as a stakeholder. Fiscal Year 2021 Award
NM	Department of Defense	Installation Readiness	$47,532.00
Enables the New Mexico Economic Development Department, in partnership with New Mexico Cybersecurity Center of Excellence and the New Mexico Manufacturing Extension Partnership, to conduct a Photonics Industry Cybersecurity Gap Analysis--within the defense supply chain--related to DoD's new Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification published in 2020. This project stimulates cooperation between statewide and local adjustment efforts making the industrial base more resilient to cyber threats. Fiscal Year 2020 Award
NV	Nellis Air Force Base and Creech Air Force Base	Installation Readiness	$437,213.00
Enables Clark County to carry out recommendations from the initial study to include developing a Drone Hazard Map and Drone Hazard Plan for areas within the Nellis AFB and Creech AFB mission footprint; developing a model drone hazard ordinance that can be leveraged by local jurisdictions; and, creating a 3-D Geographic Information System to be leveraged by all stakeholder jurisdictions to ensure more comprehensive compatible use planning involving noise, vertical obstructions, and alternative energy project siting. Fiscal Year 2021 Award
OH	Wright-Patterson Air Force Base	Installation Readiness	$351,221.00
Enables the City of Fairborn, in partnership with the Wright-Patterson Region Council of Governments, the Cities of Beavercreek, Dayton, Fairborn, Huber Heights and Riverside, and the Counties of Greene and Montgomery, to study incompatible development in the vicinity Wright-Patterson AFB to include use of land, airspace, and electromagnetic spectrum. The project will also produce an energy and water security threat assessment as well as a storm water and flood water management assessment that incorporates the base as a stakeholder. Fiscal Year 2021 Award
TX	Joint Base San Antonio	Installation Readiness	$225,706.00
Enables the Alamo Area Council of Governments to refine a compatible use study for the wider Joint Base San Antonio footprint to include the addition of Martindale Army Airfield and completing a comprehensive plan specific to operations at Kelly Field. The study intends to identify existing and future potential encroachment concerns as well as develop a strategy to mitigate those that threaten sustained military operations at these locations. Fiscal Year 2020 Award
TX	Laughlin Air Force Base	Installation Readiness	$606,276.00
Enables Val Verde County, in partnership with local jurisdictions, to update the previous 2008 Laughlin AFB Joint Land Use Study. The updated study will focus primarily on development within the accident potential zone; establish a vertical obstruction influence area; and incorporate the base as a stakeholder in addressing vulnerabilities to local potable water infrastructure. The project will also investigate legislative options to regulate wind energy development with potential to impact the mission of the base. Fiscal Year 2021 Award
CA	Military Installations in California	Installation Readiness	$846,799.00
Enables the California Energy Commission to conduct an offshore renewable energy siting study incorporating scenarios with varying levels of wind development and then provide recommendations to include type, configuration, route, load distribution, and estimated cost with the intent of preserving state-wide military training routes and special use airspace. Fiscal Year 2021 Award
CA	Department of Defense	Installation Readiness	$653,405.00
The California Advanced Defense Ecosystem National Consortia Effort, a consortium comprised of community, industry, state agencies, educational institutions, and DoD Manufacturing Institute NextFlex will strengthen the resiliency of the national security innovation and manufacturing base through a series of 15 projects. The organization works with defense manufacturers in the area of microelectronics, space, and 5G; offers support and training to small manufacturers. Fiscal Year 2020 Award
CA	Naval Base San Diego, Naval Base Coronado, and Naval Base Point Loma	Installation Readiness	$880,334.00
Enables the San Diego Association of Governments to assist the Central Mobility Hub with a regional data sharing framework study focusing on collaboration between local jurisdictions and Naval Bases San Diego, Coronado, and Point Loma. Assesses vulnerabilities such as sea level rise, wildfires, and transportation systems to include potential impacts on mission readiness and mitigation strategies to address these vulnerabilities. Fiscal Year 2020 Award
CO	Peterson Space Force Base	Installation Readiness	$727,052.00
Enables the City of Colorado Springs to undertake a $15,300,000 project that provides safety improvements and North Gate access to Peterson Space Force Base. This project will address issues that impact operational readiness, the ability to accommodate future total force requirements, and operating costs. Fiscal Year 2024 Award
