Section 2821 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for FY 2000 (Pub. L. 106-65) authorizes DoD to
transfer base closure property to Local Reuse Authorities (LRAs)
under Economic Development Conveyances (EDCs) at no cost to
stimulate economic redevelopment and long-term job creation, and to
modify existing EDCs. No cost EDC agreements require the LRA to
reinvest proceeds from use of the EDC property for 7 years. The
Military Departments require an annual financial statement
certified by an independent CPA to monitor this provision. The
annual reporting requirement may be modified for rural
communities.
