OLDCC Projects

Enables the Alamo Area Council of Governments to perform a military installation resilience assessment for Joint Base San Antonio, Fort Sam Houston, Lackland Air Force Base, Port San Antonio, and Kelly Field.  The assessment will include electrical, gas, and petroleum product infrastructure, availability of alternative and backup power sources and critical loads in the study region, including communications infrastructure supporting energy industrial controls and backup energy requirements for water/wastewater lift and pump stations, and present a prioritized list of recommendations that the community and Joint Base San Antonio may undertake, supporting the resilience of both Joint Base San Antonio and the greater Alamo Region.

Enables the Alamogordo School District to complete the construction of an elementary school and middle school to replace #48 Holloman Elementary School (486 students) and #50 Holloman Middle School (191 students) to address condition and capacity deficiencies. The new design includes a progressive program vision for the PK-5 facility with a STEAM focus with 2 maker spaces and a virtual reality science lab. The school serves students who are children of military, civilian, and contractors who work Holloman Air Force Base.

Enables the Alaska Energy Authority to undertake a project to extend electric service approximately thirty-four miles to the remote Black Rapids Training Site, where presently diesel generators provide the sole source of electrical power. The project expands access to training assets by accommodating greater training rotations with more personnel and equipment; thus enabling a higher state of readiness where cold weather and mountain warfare tactics and techniques are needed.

Enables Albuquerque Public Schools to remedy the facility condition and capacity deficiencies at the Sandia Base Elementary School located on Kirtland Air Force Base. The school is ranked #42 on the Secretary of Defense's Public Schools on Military Installations priority list and contains modernization and new construction for the Kindergarten through fifth grade facilities. In 2022, Sandia Base Elementary School was projected to serve 576 students of which most are military connected.

Enables Albuquerque Public Schools to remedy the facility condition and capacity deficiencies at #42 Sandia Base Elementary School (576 students) for the construction of a new school for kindergarten through fifth grade facilities. The school serves students who are children of military, civilian, and contractors who work at Kirtland Air Force Base.

Enables the Altus Public Schools to complete the design of a new elementary school to replace #55 Mendel Rivers Elementary School (353 students) in order to address condition and capacity deficiencies. Jackson County has experienced 37 tornadoes since 1980, one of which directly hit Altus Air Force Base. The full gymnasium within Rivers Elementary School will provide the entire school population a FEMA approved safe space in the event of future tornadoes. The school serves students who are children of military, civilian, and contractors who work Altus Air Force Base.

Enables the Arizona Department of Transportation to undertake a project to construct new improvements along U.S. Route 95 and reconstruct the Wellton-Mohawk Irrigation Canal Bridge. The project will provide for safer and more reliable transport of personnel and equipment to and from the Army's Yuma Proving Ground and surrounding communities.

Enables Bayview Water and Sewer District to renovate the Bayview water storage tank in support of Naval Station Everett. The project will improve readiness and resiliency by providing additional capacity and ensuring the community and installation have a safe, reliable water supply.

Enables the Bluegrass Area Development District to prepare for the conclusion of the chemical demilitarization mission by conducting an analysis of the impacted workforce, and available resources and programs with the goal of diversifying the region's economy and retaining a majority of the 1,800 employees connected to the chemical demilitarization mission.

Enables the Central Florida Regional Planning Council to undertake a Military Installation Resilience Review with the Avon Park Air Force Range (APAFR) to assess changing natural environmental conditions (e.g., flooding, wildfire, drought, extreme weather). The project will provide an Infrastructure Analysis and Recommended Improvements; create a comprehensive strategy to address and mitigate risks; and develop a framework for ongoing collaboration to support resilience for the APAFR and surrounding communities. In addition, the study will determine water and power vulnerability risks at APAFR, and review capacity needs and resiliency issues to allow the community and the utility providers to plan collaborative mitigation measures.
