The Department of Defense (DOD) has awarded $230 million as part of 26 new infrastructure grants.
In a release on Thursday, the DOD said that the Defense Community Infrastructure Program (DCIP) grants will fund infrastructure enhancements to support the mission assurance of a military installation, military family quality of life, installation resiliency, and/or the training of cadets at independent institutions.
Groundbreaking on the projects will commence pending the approval of environmental requirements.
“The Fiscal Year 2026 awards deliver historic funding to the Defense Community Infrastructure Program, driving critical infrastructure upgrades that directly strengthen military installations nationwide,” said Mr. Dale Marks, Assistant Secretary of War for Energy, Installations, and Environment.
