Community Noise Mitigation Program (DOD).

The Defense Department's Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation is accepting applications for the Community Noise Mitigation Program. The program aims to reduce the impact of military fixed-wing aviation noise on covered facilities. The total funds available are $75 million, with $56.25 million allocated for funding at or near active-duty military installations, $18.75 million for guard or reserve installations, and $5 million for communities affected by new aircraft models. Local governments and Native American tribal governments are eligible to apply. Covered facilities include hospitals, daycare facilities, schools, facilities serving senior citizens, and private residences located near military installations or areas with high levels of military aviation noise. A 10 percent nonfederal match is required. [Extracted from the article]
