Community Base Reuse Plans

The Department of the Army Headquarters Office of the Secretary operates the Community Base Reuse Plans program (CFDA 12.612) to fund community planning and adjustment assistance in response to military base closures, with the most recent grant award issued October 1, 2007—now 18 years and 9 months past.

The program is inactive for new funding purposes. No grant awards have been disbursed since 2007. The portfolio spans 13 total awards issued between 2003 and 2007, with activity concentrated in 2006 and 2007 (six awards each year). All awards were structured as Project Grants. The program funded communities evaluating local needs and capabilities and providing economic adjustment assistance to mitigate the impacts of the 2005 Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission (BRAC) rounds and other military installations, including Naval Station Roosevelt Roads, Charles E. Kelly Support Activity, James W. Reece Army Ammunition Plant, Galena Airport, the Quinta-Gamelin facility, and Naval Air Station Roosevelt Roads.

The Department of Defense obligated $3 million across 10 awards (77 percent of award count); the Department of the Army Headquarters Office of the Secretary obligated $1.8 million across 3 awards. Combined federal dollars obligated totaled $4.8 million. Individual award magnitudes ranged from $1,645 to $1.3 million, with the largest award of $1.3 million funding non-BRAC closure assistance for Naval Station Roosevelt Roads (obligated October 1, 2003). Typical mid-range awards fell in the $200 thousand to $700 thousand band, such as a $718 thousand grant addressing 2005 BRAC recommendations (obligated January 1, 2006) and a $1.28 million award supporting community evaluation and mitigation efforts (obligated October 1, 2007).

No recent grant opportunities are currently posted. The program effectively concluded its funding cycle in 2007 and is not actively soliciting new applications.
