Existing law, the Local Agency Military Base Recovery Area Act, authorizes local agencies to propose to the Department of Housing and Community Development specific geographic areas to receive regulatory, tax, and other governmental program incentives to offset federal military base closures by being designated local agency military base recovery areas. Existing law also requires the department to administer the act and to designate a military base or a former military base as eligible to be a local agency military base recovery area (LAMBRA) for an 8-year period.
This bill would declare the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation that would address the capacity for base reuse authorities and local jurisdictions with redevelopment project areas that incorporate the closed bases, to provide direct assistance for development projects.
