State	Installations	Program Area	Federal Grant Award
FL	Naval Support Activity Orlando, Patrick Space Force Base	Installation Readiness	$1,107,451.00
Enables the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council to assess, plan, prioritize and implement military installation resilience 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
FL	Naval Air Station Key West	Installation Readiness	$404,460.00
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 The final plan will provide recommendations for how to replace the outdated facilities with modern, sustainable and storm resilient wastewater treatment infrastructure to sustain the installation mission and supporting community.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
OR	Military Installations in Oregon	Installation Readiness	$91,273.00
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
CA	Marine Corps Air Station Mirama	Installation Readiness	$301,746.00
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
CA	Naval Base Coronado, Naval Base Point Loma, and Naval Base San Diego	Installation Readiness	$312,050.00
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 of existing shorelines 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
AZ	Marine Corps Station Yuma	Installation Readiness	$365,000.00
Enables the City of Yuma to initiate a compatible use study to update development regulations related to the needs and growth of Marine Corps Station Yuma and the Yuma community. The study's goal is to promote development that is compatible with Marine Corps Station Yuma, including housing needed for military families, and to identify methods to reduce operational impacts on lands adjacent to military lands. Fiscal Year 2023 Award
AR	Pine Bluff Arsenal	Installation Readiness	$411,300.00
Enables the City of White Hall, Arkansas to complete a Compatible Use Implementation plan that will address transportation limitations, access road enhancements, map overlay zones near Pine Bluff Arsenal; improvements to agency coordination, communication and review processes; improvements to local planning guidance to limit incompatible development or encroachments; and, educational materials to assist the Arsenal and community leaders in making informed decisions. Fiscal Year 2021 Award
VA	Department of Defense	Statewide	$989,199.00
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
TX	Department of Defense	Statewide	$719,999.00
Enables the State of Texas, through the University of Texas at Arlington Texas Manufacturing Assistance Center, to provide technical assistance to at least 75 defense manufacturers in the state to facilitate diversification efforts.
