Changes in military installations and sites, both large and small, have important relationships to planners and future planning. Often, military locations have more than a stakeholder relationship to an adjacent community.
Many city, county, and state planners may not be aware that changes and future stationing of military organizations, including their infrastructure and supporting logistics, have important ties to communities. What happens when those locations shrink, obtain new equipment, are mobilized, or have domestic-security missions? Even a small site, such as a reserve-component facility, has planning ramifications. This presentation breaks down information into key areas to consider and suggests how to build a process going forward.
NPC Peer Reviewers assigned this presentation a learning level of Foundational. For more on learning-level descriptions, visit our General Information Page.
Learning Objectives:
Understand and anticipate the planning impacts of proximity to a military installation.
Understand that even small installations – such as armories and reserve-readiness centers – have planning importance.
Recognize how partnering with military installations and understanding changes in their missions, population, use, and equipment relate to community planning.
