NRMCA Seeking to Identify Producer Members Operating Near U.S. Military Facilities

Print this Article | Send to Colleague

As part of our advocacy for the Defense Community Infrastructure Program (DCIP), NRMCA is seeking to identify NRMCA member companies with operations near military facilities. As previously reported, this program was contained in the Fiscal Year 2020 National Defense Authorization Act and allows the Secretary of Defense to make grants for community infrastructure supporting military installations.

While the Department of Defense (DOD) has yet to issue guidance on this program, the FY2021 NDAA directed the DOD to act on this program and authorized $50 million in the House version and $100 million in the Senate version for community infrastructure grants. Consequently, the DCIP represents a potential $100 million pot of infrastructure funding. NRMCA is advocating for the final NDAA to include the Senate authorized amount and will begin FY2021 appropriations advocacy in late fall to ensure that these funds are made available through the Defense appropriations process.

If you engage in operations within an area or community that supports a military installation, please let us know so we can leverage your presence as constituents with relevant lawmakers as we work through the authorization and appropriations process and engage DOD as it works to issue guidance and implement this program.
