Description
The Pennsylvania Military Community Enhancement Commission (PMCEC) Local Defense Group Grant is administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED). It funds projects that demonstrably support or enhance the military value of military installations and organizations in Pennsylvania. The program targets Local Defense Groups associated with installations and their surrounding communities, including improvements where military and community interests intersect.
Supported work includes military-value and economic-impact studies, joint land-use planning, consultants, facility development or construction, and activities addressing base realignment and closure (BRAC) or other federal actions affecting installations. Projects may also support additional military missions, education of elected officials, and related events. The broader commission works to strengthen and protect Pennsylvania’s military assets and their contribution to national defense and local economies.
