Fort Monroe Reuse Plan

The Fort Monroe Reuse Plan was officially adopted August, 2008. The Fort Monroe Federal Area Development Authority is the official “Local Redevelopment Authority” (LRA) recognized by the Department of Defense. The task of the FMFADA is to study and plan the best use of the resources that will remain when the Army closes the base in September 2011.

The FMFADA relies on the expertise of national consultants in the areas of BRAC law, environmental engineering, historic architecture and preservation planning, structural engineering, housing market analysis, commercial/retail analysis, public relations/marketing, and tourism planning.

The Fort Monroe Federal Area Development Authority (FMFADA) was created by legislative action of the Virginia General Assembly in 2007. Virginia’s Department of Historic Resources and the Department of Environmental Quality have major regulatory authority that influences the work. The Fort Monroe FADA will implement the Fort Monroe Reuse Plan, when the Army closes the base on September 2011.
