Book excerpt: A military base closure, while initially a source of significant local economic impacts, also represents the single most important opportunity for a community to make a dramatic, positive change in the local economy, especially in response to the loss of jobs. For some communities, former military property is ideally situated with strong prospects for redevelopment due to a location near, or in the midst of, rapidly growing, prosperous communities. For other communities, the presence of a less robust local economy, an isolated location, or limited redevelopment opportunities and resources makes the planning effort more challenging. The redevelopment plan is the catalyst for a successful local response to base realignment or closure impacts. While no two communities are alike, and the redevelopment planning process is never routine, successful communities typically provide for a broad-based public planning effort to build consensus for redevelopment, and take actions to ensure the uses recommended in the redevelopment plan are formally incorporated into the local government's ongoing planning and economic development initiatives.Section 1 Overview of Base Redevelopment Planning * Section 2 Base Redevelopment Planning Process * Section 3 Surplus Property Determination * Section 4 Preparation of Base Redevelopment Plan * Section 5 Outreach to State and Local Government, Non-profits, and Homeless Assistance Providers * Section 6 Refinement of Base Redevelopment Plan * Section 7 Beyond Base Redevelopment PlanningOEA has been "helping communities help themselves" for more than 45 years. From this experience an orderly economic adjustment transition process has evolved, along with the realization that meeting this challenge requires energy, vision, and community leadership through an effective local organization. For communities experiencing the possible availability of property as a result of a base closure or realignment, the Local Redevelopment Authority (LRA) serves as the local organization focusing on all economic adjustment activities, including preparation of a base redevelopment plan. How well an affected community organizes itself to solicit broad-based, inclusive public participation in preparing the base redevelopment plan is a major factor in the success of the community's economic transition.

Over this period of time, experience has shown that the primary responses to a closure must be community-based. This describes the roles of community leaders, State leaders, Federal officials, and other resources. The role of community leaders-where economic adjustment efforts begin and end-is described in terms of the three components of economic adjustment: the community, local businesses, and workers. The roles of State and Federal officials are briefly summarized. A detailed listing of the various resources available to your community can be found in the Appendix. The economic and social fabric of a community is tested when a closure action is announced. What does this decision mean? How will jobs be impacted? Is there any way to avoid the closure? The closure and reuse process is disruptive, but the experience of most communities is that the net result is economically beneficial in the long run.The base reuse process consists of a series of activities involving both the Local Redevelopment Authority (LRA) and the Military Department. These activities are required by both laws and regulations. An LRA must be aware of this general process to effectively respond to the closure and to move the community toward economic recovery. The overall reuse and disposal process ("reuse process") consists of three phases: base-wide reuse planning; disposal and reuse decision making; and decision implementation. This Section provides a brief overview of the reuse process, including information on transitional impacts to the community as the base is converted from military to civilian use.

Book excerpt: The Office of Economic Adjustment (OEA) is pleased to present Base Redevelopment Planning for BRAC Sites to assist communities and states with planning the civilian use of former military property. Reflecting over 45 years of OEA experience with community planning and base redevelopment, this publication highlights the keys to a successful planning effort, including the necessary public- and private-sector leadership, vision, dedication, and partnership between the Military Departments and the affected communities. A military base closure, while initially a source of significant local economic impacts, also represents the single most important opportunity for a community to make a dramatic, positive change in the local economy, especially in response to the loss of jobs.

This book was released on 2017-10-05 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2005 BRAC round resulted in 125 closed bases with over 73,000 acres of surplus property available. The Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act, as amended, requires DOD and HUD to assist communities in determining the best reuse of land and facilities, balancing needs of the local economy with those of homeless individuals and families. GAO was mandated to review the extent to which DOD and HUD implemented the homeless assistance provisions while disposing of BRAC surplus property. This report addresses (1) the assistance provided as a result of BRAC 2005 and the extent to which DOD and HUD track its implementation and (2) any benefits and challenges encountered as DOD, HUD, and LRAs addressed homeless assistance provisions. GAO reviewed homeless assistance plans; interviewed DOD and HUD officials; and interviewed LRAs and homeless assistance providers from a nongeneralizable sample of 23 closed bases, selected based on size, geography, and types of assistance provided.

Military and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-11-25 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than four decades, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has closed or realigned military installations to reduce overhead, enhance readiness and modernization, and adjust to the realities of changing international relations. The resulting impact on surrounding communities is often dramatic. Many communities have successfully converted these former installations to civilian uses such as parks and other recreational facilities, business centers, market-rate housing, affordable housing, and transitional housing for homeless persons. Since the late 1980s, the base closure process and the role of local communities in planning for their transition to civilian use have evolved significantly.The Redevelopment Act was designed to accommodate the impacted communities' multiple interests in base reuse and to meet the national priority to assist homeless individuals and families. The law exempted BRAC Commission installations from the provisions of Title V of the McKinney Act and substituted a community-based process wherein representatives of the homeless and other community groups participate in local reuse planning. The Redevelopment Act places responsibility for base reuse planning in the hands of a Local Redevelopment Authority (LRA), which represents all the local jurisdictions affected by a closing or realigning installation. The LRA is responsible for developing a reuse plan that appropriately balances the needs of the various communities for economic redevelopment, other development, and homeless assistance. HUD then reviews the plan to determine its compliance with the statute.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Office of Economic Adjustment was created to assist communities affected by DoD actions, including base realignments and closures or "BRAC." The changes created by BRAC affect many communities that have warmly embraced nearby military installations for many years. As the primary resource for communities in need, OEA takes great care to work with these communities, with the respect that they have earned to help them to capably respond to BRAC actions. OEA assistance is tailored, as no two communities are alike and the local response is never routine. Our experience demonstrates that economic recovery does not occur without decisive and effective local leadership, and a genuine partnership between the Military Departments and the affected communities. To assist you in gaining perspective OEA prepared this publication which contains practical advice for local and State officials responding to the community changes caused by BRAC.An increase in military activity may challenge a community's capacity to absorb an influx of personnel and may place excessive demands on some off-base community services and facilities. Experience suggests that off-base housing scarcity and school overcrowding are areas of shared community and military concern. The community and the military alike must strive to maintain and improve the quality of life for local residents, including the new military personnel and their dependents. In the case of downsizing, civilian reuse of a former military installation may be one of the greatest challenges a community will face. Communities have capably responded to this challenge over the most recent rounds of base closure, from 1988 through 1995. In fact, for the more than 70 local redevelopment efforts that report on their progress annually, redevelopment activity through October 31, 2004, has resulted in the creation of 110,000 jobs, or 85 percent of the 130,000 civilian jobs lost as a result of the BRAC actions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2005 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) round is the biggest, most complex, and costliest BRAC round ever. In addition to base closures, many recommendations involve realignments, such as returning forces to the U.S. from bases overseas and creating joint bases. However, anticipated savings remained an important consideration in justifying the need for the 2005 BRAC round. This report assessed: (1) challenges that might affect timely completion of recommendations; (2) any changes in DoD's reported cost and savings estimates since FY 2008; and (3) the potential for estimates to continue to change. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables.

Book excerpt: This Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Cleanup Plan (BCP) describes the status, management and response strategy, and action items related to Cameron Station's ongoing environmental restoration and associated compliance programs. These programs support full - restoration of the installation property, which is necessary to meet the requirements for property disposal and reuse activities associated with the closure of the installation. The scope of the BCP considers the following regulatory mechanisms: the BRAC Act; National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA); Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) as amended by the Community Environmental Response Facilitation Act (CERFA); Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA); and other applicable laws. The Cameron Station BCP is a dynamic planning document which was developed by a BRAC Cleanup Team (BCT) consisting of U.S. Army, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region III (USEPA), and State of Virginia Department 9f Environmental Quality (VDEQ) representatives. It was necessary to make certain assumptions and interpretations to develop the schedule and cost estimates provided in this plan. The BCP will be updated regularly to reflect the current status and strategies of remedial actions, compliance programs and disposal and reuse planning. This document is the second in a series of updates/modifications and represents conditions and strategies as of January 1995.
