Defense Community Infrastructure Program

The Defense Community Infrastructure Program is a competitive grant program that assists state and local governments with addressing deficiencies in community infrastructure, supportive of a military installation, to, in order of priority, enhance military value (to include critical infrastructure), cadet training at covered educational institutions, installation resilience, and military family quality of life. Community infrastructure projects are transportation projects, community support facilities (e.g., schools, hospitals, police, fire, and emergency response), and utility infrastructure projects (e.g., water, wastewater, telecommunications, electric, gas, etc.) that are located off of a military installation or on property under the jurisdiction of a Secretary of a military department that is subject to a real estate agreement (including a lease or easement), and are owned by a state or local government or a not-for-profit, member-owned utility service.
