Our Projects

Enables the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council to assess, plan, prioritize and implement military Installation Readiness actions and projects to provide critical services and infrastructure to support Naval Support Activity Orlando, Patrick Space Force Base and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, as well as remote sites. The study will provide a risk-informed, phased approach to identify and prioritize investments for resilience projects, including transportation and affordable housing components. The results of the study will provide the design for a resilience network as well as prioritization of projects and potential funding sources to ensure improved readiness. Fiscal Year 2023 Award

Enables the City of Key West to develop a Wastewater Treatment Plant Resiliency Plan in support of Naval Air Station Key West. The region is increasingly vulnerable to the compounding hazards and threats posed by sea-level rise, the increasing frequency and magnitude of tropical systems, and recent increases in extreme rainfall. The final plan will provide recommendations for how to replace the outdated facilities with modern, sustainable and storm resilient wastewater treatment infrastructure to sustain the installation mission and supporting community. Fiscal Year 2023 Award

Enables the Metropolitan Washington Council of Government (MWCOG) to undertake a military Installation Readiness implementation grant with the Washington Navy Yard, Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, and Fort McNair to advance recommendations from the recently completed Military Installation Readiness Review. MWCOG will develop a Impact Assessment Report including recommendations on threat impacts to the power, water, and telecommunications sectors. As part of the effort, MWCOG will work with stakeholders to develop a Roadmap for Resilience Funding and Solutions; conduct scenario-based workshops to assess capabilities, roles, responsibilities, and identify projects for implementation in the event of a large-scale outage of critical infrastructure; and create a Collaborative Engagement Plan to further the implementation of resilience projects between the District of Columbia government and the military installations. Fiscal Year 2023 Award

Enables 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 SUBASE New London and the surrounding area. Fiscal Year 2023 Award

Enables the San Diego Unified Port District to collaborate with Naval Base Coronado, Naval Base Point Loma, and Naval Base San Diego to identify site-specific opportunities for sustainable restoration, enhancement, or retrofitting throughout San Diego Bay to improve the installation's readiness. The project will result in a digital planning tool - San Diego Bay Sustainable Shoreline Atlas - which will identify shoreline vulnerabilities and provide alternative site-specific, ready solutions. The Atlas will enable stakeholders to improve strategic collaboration and partnerships to pursue funding opportunities for the design, construction, and implementation of shoreline projects throughout San Diego Bay that will support mission readiness. Fiscal Year 2023 Award

Enables the City of San Diego along with Marine Corps Air Station Miramar to explore energy security options to benefit the installation and community jointly. The analysis will identify shared risks, hazards, and vulnerabilities of concern related to supporting the existing, operational microgrid at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar and sustainable usage of the methane produced at the city's Miramar Landfill long after its closure. Community and installation planners will develop a current-state assessment, action plan, and funding plan to support continued cooperative efforts regarding energy infrastructure development activities. Fiscal Year 2023 Award

Enables the States of Missouri and Kansas to establish the National Security Crossroads, an effort focused on analyzing current and future workforce needs and natural and man-made threats in the aerospace and defense sectors. This project stimulates cooperation between statewide and local adjustment and diversification efforts. Fiscal Year 2023 Award

Enables the South Carolina Department of Employment and Workforce, in partnership with the South Carolina Department of Commerce and the South Carolina Manufacturing Extension Partnership, to accelerate digital transformation and automation efforts in the South Carolina defense industrial base. This project will conduct outreach and provide advanced manufacturing technical assistance with advanced manufacturing technologies to small and medium manufacturers in the defense supply chain. Additionally, this project will develop a supply chain map of the South Carolina defense industrial base. This project stimulates cooperation between statewide and local adjustment and diversification efforts. Fiscal Year 2023 Award

Enables the University of Tennessee Center for Industrial Services and the Tennessee Manufacturing Extension Partnership to develop a supply chain map of companies in the Tennessee defense industrial base and conduct outreach to a minimum of 200 manufacturers. The project will provide technical assistance to at least 8 small to mid-sized companies on advanced manufacturing, operational excellence, and quality management systems. This project stimulates cooperation between statewide and local adjustment efforts. Fiscal Year 2023 Award

Enables the Commonwealth of Virginia, through Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, to provide technical assistance with additive manufacturing technologies to machine shops in Virginia that supply parts for Defense facilities, assets, and prime contractors. This project will develop an additive manufacturing education program for machine shops regarding the technical aspects and business implications of additive manufacturing technology adoption and production requirements. This project stimulates cooperation between statewide and local adjustment efforts. Fiscal Year 2023 Award
