Subbase New London

Abstract

The Southeastern Connecticut Council of Governments (SCCOG) is proposing to conduct a Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) for SUBASE New London on behalf of its member municipalities the Town of Groton, Town of Waterford, Town of Ledyard, City of Groton, City of New London, and Town of Montville. The Department of Defense Office of Economic Adjustment (OEA) provides grants to state and local governments to conduct a JLUS to support the long-term sustainability and operability of the military installation complex. The purpose of this Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) is to create a community-driven, cooperative, strategic planning process among SUBASE New London and the municipalities of Town of Groton, Town of Waterford, Town of Ledyard, City of Groton, City of New London, and Town of Montville, to: 1) promote community development that is compatible with the military training, testing, and operational missions; and 2) seek ways to reduce operational impacts on adjacent lands. The goal of the JLUS is to encourage local governments, together with the State, to work closely with the military installation to implement measures that prevent the introduction of incompatible civilian development that may impair the continued operational utility of the military installation, and to preserve and protect the public health, safety, and welfare of those living near an active military installation.
