MacDill Air Force Base Military Installation Resilience Review (MIRR)

The Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council was awarded a Community Economic Adjustment Assistance for Responding to Threats to the Resilience of a Military Installation grant from the Department of Defense. The 18-month, $570,000 grant is designed to examine the long-term resilience and sustainability of MacDill Air Force Base and its surrounding community.

The Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council will complete a Military Installation Resilience Review (MIRR), which is a community-driven initiative to analyze risks and future climate conditions and implement actions to foster, protect, and enhance military installation resilience and sustainability.

Project Goals:

  • Identifying shared vulnerabilities and risks of critical infrastructure that service the military installation and surrounding local jurisdictions;
  • Prioritizing community projects (located “outside of the gate”) that also strengthen the readiness, capabilities, and operability of the MacDill Air Force Base; and
  • Providing coordination opportunities for potential funding resources, including the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation (OLDCC).
