Military and Defense Programs
Request for Proposal (RFP)
For FY 14/15, Enterprise Florida offers a Defense Infrastructure Grant Program (DIG) to communities that host military installations. The intent of the DIG is to fund projects benefiting the local community and the military bases, operations and missions located within it. DIG provides support for local infrastructure projects including those associated with the following issues: encroachment, transportation and access, utilities, communications, housing, environment, and security that have a positive impact on an installation’s military value and the surrounding community. Infrastructure grants may also be used to conduct studies, develop presentations, analyses, plans, and modeling in direct support of infrastructure projects. Applications will be accepted only from eligible economic development applicants serving in an official capacity as assigned by a county, chamber of commerce, municipality, special district, or state agency with the proper authority to complete the project.
