Coconino County Community Development was awarded a $920,000-grant from the Office of Economic Adjustment through the Department of Defense. The grant will allow for the implementation of key strategies to protect the missions of military installations at Camp Navajo and the Naval Observatory Flagstaff Station, and to promote awareness of their activities in the community. The grant will also ensure the community is aware of regional dark sky initiatives and impacts, allow for a feasibility study and analysis of the potential for forest restoration industries sited on Camp Navajo, supports wildfire mitigation efforts within Camp Navajo and will fund a review of the impact that a potential wildfire would have on Camp Navajo’s mission, among other initiatives.
