The Department of the Navy invites public comment on a Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) for its disposal and a reuse of the NMCRC (Naval & Marine Corps Reserve Center) Tacoma.
The NMCRC was designated for closure under the 2005 BRAC process. As required by BRAC, the Local Redevelopment Authority (LRA) concluded in its Redevelopment Plan that the highest and best use for the property is inclusion into the Port of Tacoma's Master Plan. The Port is a National Strategic Port.
The Port is proposing a comprehensive master redevelopment plan for the Blair Peninsula to transform the existing industrial and commercial scape into terminal facilities.
Copies of the Draft EA can be downloaded at the BRAC website. The public may submit comments by June 12, 2009 to:
Director, BRAC PMO West
Attn: Mr. Patrick McCay
1455 Frazee Road, Ste. 900
