“Quality of life for military families is a priority for the state and local communities that enjoy the privilege of hosting military installations and should also be a priority for the federal government,” dozens of mayors wrote in an August letter to lawmakers in support of DCIP funding.
DCIP projects may include those focused on transportation, schools, hospitals, police, fire, emergency response, water, wastewater, telecommunications, electric, gas, or other utility infrastructure.
