Virginia Regional JLUS Implementation Strategy
Over the past decade, the Department of Defense (DoD) has invested billions of dollars in construction on military installations across the Commonwealth of Virginia. Actions impacting the Commonwealth resulting from the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) were very favorable and resulted in growth at almost every military installation and base in Virginia.
Coordinated land use planning and decision making is necessary to assess the Commonwealth’s position in protecting the military missions in Virginia in order to sustain the superiority of the nation’s defense in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
