Defense Community Infrastructure Program

Objective

Assist state and local governments with addressing deficiencies in community infrastructure to, in order of priority, enhance military value (to include critical infrastructure), cadet training at covered educational institutions, installation resilience, or military family quality of life. Projects must be supportive of a military installation. Community infrastructure means any transportation project; school, hospital, police, fire, emergency response, or other community support facility; or water, wastewater, telecommunications, electric, gas, or other utility infrastructure project that is located off a military installation and owned by a state or local government.

Who Can Apply

• State

State or local governments may apply for the assistance to address deficiencies in community infrastructure supportive of a military installation. Assets owned by not-for-profit, member-owned utilities may be enhanced with the funding. However, they may only apply in partnership with a primary state or local government proposer. Community infrastructure projects or facilities must be located off a military installation or on property under the jurisdiction of a military department that is also subject to a real estate agreement (including a lease or an easement) held by a state or local government.
