Book excerpt: The LRA serves as the primary link between the Department of Defense, the current installation, the local community, and the Federal and State agencies responsible for all BRAC matters. [...] Under the BRAC process: (1) the Department of Defense prepares a list of military bases to be realigned or closed; (2) an independent BRAC Commission reviews the list, makes changes and sends a revised list to the President; (3) the President reviews the list and transmits the list without changes to Congress; and (4) the Secretary of Defense implements the approved recommendations unless a joint [...] Office of Economic Adjustment Overview The Office of Economic Adjustment (OEA) is the primary source of federal assistance in the Department of Defense to assist communities affected by employment losses and gains as a result of BRAC.17 The OEA also serves as a coordinating agency to channel economic assistance for communities affected by BRAC. [...] For example, Economic Development Conveyances (EDC) 24 are a vehicle for the transfer of legal title to federal real and personal property located at a military installation that is to be closed under the provisions of the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 (DBCRA, or the BRAC law).25 The transfer of property at no-cost has resulted in revenues that are not as high as originally anti [...] Federal assistance and economic development programs are available within the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Department of Commerce, Department of Agriculture and Department of Health and Human Services.

S. Military and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-11-26 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Download or read book Base Closure and Property Reuse written by and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Military base closures are often viewed as a serious threat to a region's local economy. Defense base closings can also offer an unprecedented opportunity to restore the economic health of the community, prompt new industrial development, provide improved public services, and encourage long term economic growth. The purpose of this research is to examine the Base Closure steps and develop a model for the Property Reutilization of the military installations. This study will investigate the political economy of the military base closure: the federal and local public policy process and how it impacts the economic efficiency of public resource allocation. This study will describe a surplus base facility that represented the largest single block of land to become available to a community for many years. Few communities have the opportunity to plan properly the use of large contiguous land parcels, which can thereby, influence and stimulate the community's potential development. The methodology of this paper is descriptive. This paper is based on research data obtained by a comprehensive review of literature and through personal interviews and Department of Defense Officials. Additional data obtained came from the use of the Internet and the Air University Library. This study will highlight a major facility and land use principles involved in the Base Closure and Reuse of a former military. Nevertheless, the final responsibility for land use planning and for securing the optimum use of the former base facilities to serve local needs and objectives still rests fully with the local community leadership itself.

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.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through base realignment and closure rounds in 1988, 1991, 1993, and 1995, the Department of Defense expected to significantly reduce its domestic infrastructure and provide needed dollars for high-priority programs such as modernization. With the conclusion of the 6-year implementation period of the last round in fiscal year 2001, the department has closed or realigned hundreds of bases, has generated savings from these actions, and is in the process of transferring unneeded base property to other users. At the same time, the communities surrounding the former defense bases continue the lengthy process of recovery from the economic impact of the closure process. Our last comprehensive report on the implementation of base closure decisions was issued in December 1998. In that report, we concluded that the closure process was generating substantial savings (although the savings estimates were imprecise), most former base property had not yet been transferred to other users, and most communities surrounding closed bases were faring well economically in relation to key national economic indicators. In a July 2001 report and August 2001 testimony, we updated our closure implementation data and reaffirmed the primary results of our prior work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainable Regeneration of Former Military Sites is the first book to analyze a profound land use change happening all over the world: the search for sustainable futures for property formerly dedicated to national defense now becoming redundant, disposed of and redeveloped. The new military necessity for rapid flexible response requires quite different physical resources from the massive fixed positions of the Cold War, with huge tracts of land and buildings looking for new uses. The transition from military to civilian life for these complex, contaminated, isolated, heritage laden and often contested sites in locations ranging from urban to remote is far from easy. There is very little systematic analysis of what follows base closures, leaving communities, governments, developers, and planners experimenting with untested land use configurations, partnership structures, and financing strategies. With twelve case studies drawn from different countries, many written by those involved, Sustainable Regeneration of Former Military Sites enables the diverse stakeholders in these projects to discover unique opportunities for reuse and learn from others’ experiences of successful regeneration.
