Luke AFB Realignment
Abstract
MAG seeks to identify and understand the community gaps that exist in the region and the ability to address and respond to those gaps as a result of the anticipated increase in personnel at Luke AFB and associated economic expansion in the region. Luke AFB is located in the western portion of Maricopa County. The Air Force plans to increase personnel at the base by more than 2,300 people. The primary goal of this project is to prepare a Targeted Growth Management Plan. The objectives of the Targeted Growth Management Plan are to: 1. Identify and assess existing conditions within the targeted areas of transportation, economic development/workforce development, education, and housing. 2. Determine future needs associated with increased military population 3. Develop short term and long term priorities and potential funding sources to accommodate this growth 4. Develop planning, coordination and implementation strategies that help achieve the long term goals of the stakeholders during this period of growth and change. 5. Maintain a central point of coordination for all major stakeholders who are impacted by the expansion of Luke AFB. 6. Establish a clear set of action steps for local communities to manage future growth and demands for services. The Targeted Growth Management Plan will guide the investment and provision of necessary off-base public services, facilities and infrastructure to support the expanded mission and growth at Luke AFB.
