CREC plays a pivotal role in helping communities that host U.S. military installations access the funding and planning tools they need to thrive. Through partnerships with the U.S. Department of Defense’s Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation (OLDCC), CREC supports regions in designing and implementing projects that enhance infrastructure, workforce readiness, and long-term economic sustainability.
From broadband planning to strategic regional assessments, CREC helps ensure that defense communities are not only mission-ready but also economically strong and resilient. These projects often serve dual purposes — improving quality of life for civilians while supporting national security priorities.
