Applicants for this assistance are to contact the Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation and a Project Manager will be assigned to work with the applicant to determine eligibility for assistance under this program. U.S. States and Territories, counties, municipalities, other political subdivisions of a State, and special purpose units of a State or local government are eligible for this assistance if: 1) community impact assistance is not otherwise available; 2) the expansion, establishment, or growth involves the assignment to the installation of (i) more than 2,000 military, civilian, and contractor Department of Defense personnel, or (ii) more military, civilian, and contractor DoD personnel than the number equal to ten percent of the number of persons employed in counties or municipalities within fifteen miles of the installation, whichever is lesser; and, 3) The Secretary, through the Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation, determines the action is likely to have a direct and significant adverse consequence on the affected community. Where multiple jurisdictions may be affected, one program of assistance will be available and the affected jurisdictions will need to combine their efforts into one responsive program.
