Description

Military Affairs Forum Military Affairs Forum works to enhance communication and opportunities between the civilian community and defense installations.     The JBLM JLUS (Joint Land Use Study) Doug Richardson, District 6 Pierce County Councilmember The JBLM JLUS (Joint Land Use Study) is designed to create a collective regional dialogue around sometimes complex issues of balancing military operational demands and mission changes with the region’s and local communities’ land use plans, economic development and infrastructure needs, and goals for environmental sustainability. The study area generally encompasses those communities within two miles of the JBLM boundary, evaluating existing or potential conflicts with the military installation’s operations. Resource: Project Website   2013 JBLM Survey Results Mary Huff, Interim Project Manager City of Lakewood - SSMCP Over 5,000 people who live and/or work on Joint Base Lewis-McChord responded to the SSMCP Needs and Preferences Survey in October 2013.  Ms. Huff will summarize those results from a regional perspective, and also highlight some of the key findings specific to Pierce County.  Topics will include servicemembers’ perceptions of safety and other quality of life issues in their communities; housing choices; and career/education plans for those servicemembers transitioning off active duty in the next two years.
