Planning Civilian Reuse of Former Military Bases
Abstract
The purpose of this document is to supplement a report entitled Planning Civilian Reuse of Former Military Bases. This latter report was originally prepared by the Office of the Economic Adjustment (OEA) within the Department of Defense and reissued in 1989 as a guide to communities dealing with base closures. The report summarized the experience that OEA had gained over a seventeen-year period prior to 1978 in assisting communities with the civilian reuse of former military bases. This supplement describes some of the recent trends in real estate development that are particularly relevant to a successful reuse of former military buildings and land areas. This information is intended to familiarize communities with the planning, property management and marketing techniques typically used when converting base facilities to new uses. Information on financing development or various funding mechanisms used in the implementation process is not provided in this document but is available separately from OEA on request. This document is intended to help communities realize the benefits and proceed with the proper planning required to achieve a successful conversion of a former military base to civilian uses. Keywords: Military facilities; Reusable equipment; Land use; Urban planning; Civilian population.
