OEA Invites 16 Grantees to Apply for DCIP Funding

August 13, 2020

The DOD Office of Economic Adjustment has identified 16 project proposals to advance to the next round of the Defense Community Infrastructure Program (DCIP) application process, it announced this week.

The Infrastructure Pilot Program Review Panel selected the 16 projects out of more than 100 initial applications, according to the official list it released. The projects are all in Tier I, the category related to military quality of life.

The organizations invited to submit grant applications for further review are:

  • Abilene Independent School District in Texas
  • South Dakota Ellsworth Development Authority
  • Jefferson County Industrial Development in New York
  • City of Sierra Vista, Ariz.
  • Silver Valley Unified School District in California
  • Waynesville R-VI School District in Missouri
  • Louisiana Department of Economic Development
  • Lawndale Educational and Regional Network in Washington, D.C.
  • City of Hampton, Va.
  • Municipality of Chalan Pago-Ordot in Guam
  • Commonwealth Bureau of Military Affairs in Northern Mariana Islands
  • City of Great Falls, Mont.
  • City of Jacksonville, N.C.
  • Prince William County, Va.
  • City of Minot, N.D.
  • Mountain Home School District in Idaho

The panel did not invite further applications from projects initially identified as Tier II, related to resilience, or Tier III, related to military value.

The DCIP pilot program was first authorized by Congress in the 2019 defense policy bill, allowing DOD to provide grants for infrastructure projects that support military installations. Congress appropriated $50 million for DCIP in the current fiscal year – the first year the program has been funded.
