Military installations are crucial economic drivers in local economies across the country. No matter the service, location, or scale, military installations have an impact on the surrounding cities, counties, and regions that support them. Recognizing the pivotal role military installations play in local economies, and spurred on by BRAC, communities came together to provide coordinated support for military installations in their regions. Communities have found ways forward that better position their military installations and regions for mutual growth and prosperity. Economic Development Districts (EDDs) are well-suited to be the regional liaison with military installations across a wide variety of topic areas of mutual interest to military installations and their surrounding communities. This report examines some of the main challenges facing communities with military installations and offers how EDDs can best support these vital economic drivers in their regions. Throughout this report are examples from EDDs successfully managing these relationships and showcasing specific, replicable strategies that can be used at EDDs across the country serving regions home to military installations.
