The Department of Defense, Office of Economic Adjustment (OEA) provides grants to state and local governments to conduct a Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) to support the long-term sustainability and operability of the military installation complex. Fort Eustis has been nominated for the program to examine installation activities and surrounding land use and development plans to identify and document potential impacts and opportunities to establish shared goals and long-term compatibility with adjacent localities. The City of Newport News will serve as the JLUS project sponsor.
