  3. OVERVIEW • Joint Base Lewis-McChord • Growth from ~23,000 to ~40,000 Service members from 2002-2010 • Transformation of Army & AF Units (Strykers, C17s) • Training requirements now exceed infrastructure capabilities • Completely encroached, land & air • Bisected by I-5 • Emerging as a land and species sanctuary • Tribal entities on the installation • Competition for local resources • Surrounding Communities • Local growth of almost 170,000 in 10 years • 17 separate communities ranging from small (~700) to large (~200,000) across two counties • Seven school districts • Regional employment market is retail and tech-oriented • Shared I-5 corridor both sustains and limits growth opportunities • Developing tax base

  4. TACOMA 163 road miles JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD LOCATION • Part of Seattle Tacoma-Olympia metropolitan region • Bisected by Interstate 5 • JBLM – 86,176 acres • Yakima Training Center – 323,651 acres

  5. PLANNING CONTEXT IN WASHINGTON STATE Washington State Growth Management Act (1990) • Requires most counties and cities to formulate plans that align with 14 state goals. • Establish urban growth areas to curb sprawl, protect resource lands & critical areas • Buildable lands analyses, population and employment growth targets • Consistent, Comprehensive, Concurrent • Impact Fees (Optional) Military Growth is typically unknown and was not a part of GMA

  17. DEVELOPMENT OF A PARTNERSHIP: South Sound Military & Communities Partnership • Required a champion - Lakewood • Needed some seed money and third party counsel – OEA • Basic issues of common interest: • Housing • Economic Impact • Education • Health • Transportation • Plans & Policies • Public Utilities & Infrastructure • Public Safety & Emergency Services • Social Services • Quality of Life • Needed to formalize • Installation as anchor, not as lead • Unique & tailored organization • Leverage other existing models • Needs a small core group to plan • Must endure – about more than growth • Lessons Learned:

  18. SOUTH SOUND MILITARY & COMMUNITIES PARTNERSHIP The Way Ahead • Formalize a flexible organization • Elected officials • Staffing & contributions • Who has what role? • Stakeholders • Organizational tempo • Branding • Producing results

  19. “To foster effective communication, understanding, and mutual support by serving as the primary point of coordination for resolution of those issues which transcend the specific interests of the military and civilian communities of the Joint Base Lewis-McChord region.” OUR MISSION:

  20. WHAT IS THE TAKEAWAY? “There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know”. (Sec. of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, 2002) Be ready to implement!
