| Measurable Outcome Anticipated: |
| Florida Defense Alliance Grant Programs are an invaluable tool for protecting Florida's $30 billion investment in its defense industry as well as attracting new defense missions using Florida's air space and training ranges. The program facilitates refined responses to the upcoming BRAC and provides strong incentives for installation-community cooperation in addressing mutual problems on a least-cost basis. |
