About 

Overview  

FloridaCommerce administers two military community programs, the Defense Infrastructure Grant (DIG) and the Defense Reinvestment Grant (DRG). 

Defense Infrastructure Grant Program (DIG)

The Defense Infrastructure Grant Program (DIG) supports local infrastructure projects that make a positive impact on the military value of installations within the state by addressing encroachment, transportation and access, housing, utilities, communications, environment, and security needs. Funds are used for projects that benefit both local communities and military installations.

Defense Reinvestment Grant Program (DRG)

The Defense Reinvestment Grant Program (DRG) provides support for community-based activities that protect existing military installations, diversify the economy of a defense-dependent community, or develop plans that facilitate the reuse of closed or realigned military installations, such developing and implementing strategies that will help communities support the mission of military installations.

Eligibility 

Eligible applicants include defense-dependent local governments and local economic development councils representing a local government with a military installation that could be adversely affected by federal actions.
