February 1, 2023

The Top of Alabama Regional Council of Governments (TARCOG) is seeking proposals from firms and individuals to implement key recommendations identified in the Redstone Arsenal Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) between the Arsenal and its surrounding communities. The Redstone Arsenal JLUS process focused on promoting compatible community growth around the installation to preserve military capabilities. A primary goal of Redstone Arsenal’s JLUS is to mitigate existing and prevent future incompatibility issues between base operations and local communities.  The JLUS implementation project seeks to work towards enacting key compatible use recommendations identified during the JLUS process.

TARCOG was awarded a grant from the US Department of Defense, Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation (OLDCC), for implementing key recommendations identified in the JLUS for the Arsenal. It is imperative that Respondents examine and become familiar with the grant program established by the OLDCC. Funding for the project has been made possible through this grant and is contingent on strict conformance to the guidelines set forth by the U.S. Department of Defense.  Respondents shall comply with stated Federal Aid Contract Requirements.
