As a result of a $317,693 OEA investment, the Pendleton County Commission partnered with West Virginia University and surrounding counties to prepare a strategic economic diversification plan in response to the 2015 disestablishment of Navy Information Operations Command Sugar Grove. The plan, completed in September 2019, recommends branding the region as the “Potomac Highlands” and targeting companies in the Advanced Materials, and Forest and Wood Product industries to bring new employment opportunities to the region.
After requesting Navy Base Realignment and Closure property for educational uses in 2006, Bowdoin College determined in 2019 that it no longer needed 144 acres of the original 275. The Navy asked the Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority (MRRA) to add the property to their existing economic development conveyance. MRRA concurred then engaged a consultant to work with MRRA, the Town of Brunswick, and the public to develop a land use vision for the parcel to modify the existing plan. As part of this process, the consultant documented the existing natural and manmade conditions of the land and developed various scenarios based on public input for how the land could be used. Because of COVID-19 restrictions on public meetings, the consultant developed and deployed an innovative virtual public engagement strategy and survey instrument to guide this process. More than 530 people participated in the online virtual tours of the parcel and the initial survey. In February 2021, the Town Council entered into an agreement to purchase the property from MRRA for conservation and outdoor recreation purposes.
The 2005 Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission recommended the Umatilla Chemical Depot be closed upon completion of the chemical demilitarization mission. Located in rural Oregon’s Umatilla and Morrow Counties, the depot closed in 2012. Although the regulatory process has extended the timeline for conveyance, the Columbia Development Authority’s economic development conveyance application for approximately 9,500 acres was approved in 2018. The LRA has updated their infrastructure assessment and prepared a site development report in anticipation of receiving property from the U.S. Army in Fiscal Year 2022.

In 2014, the U.S. Navy’s Base Realignment and Closure Program Management Office-East advised the Horsham Land Redevelopment Authority that high levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in the drinking water would impact their ability to transfer 850 acres of the former installation to the Horsham Land Redevelopment Authority through an economic development conveyance. In 2023, Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation awarded a $380,885 Federal grant that enabled Horsham Land Redevelopment Authority, as it awaits transfer of ownership of acreage from the U.S. Navy, to manage redevelopment activities at the former Willow Grove Naval Air Station to include transportation planning to revitalize the site once PFAS contamination and clean up concerns are resolved.
In 2024, Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation awarded a $285,077 Federal grant that enabled the Riverbank Local Redevelopment Authority, as it awaits transfer of ownership of acreage from the U.S. Army, to sustain redevelopment and environmental remediation efforts at the former Riverbank Army Ammunition Plant to include supporting the use of a Finding of Suitability for Early Transfer and Covenant Deferral which requires coordination and concurrence by the California Governor.
