Implementation Plan
This chapter identifies and organizes the recommended courses of action
(strategies) that have been developed through a collaborative effort between
representatives of local jurisdictions, Keesler AFB, state and federal agencies,
local organizations, the general public and other stakeholders that own or
manage land or resources in the region. Because the Keesler JLUS is the
result of a collaborative planning process, the strategies represent a true
consensus plan; a realistic and coordinated approach to compatibility
planning developed with the support of stakeholders involved throughout
the process. Each of the JLUS strategies that are included in this chapter is meant to
address specific compatibility issues that are described in greater detail in
Chapter 5 of the Keesler AFB JLUS Background Report. The issues are
included before each set of strategies as a point of reference to what the
strategies are addressing. They correspond to the issue numbers in the
Chapter 5 of the Background Report for easy reference and can be used to
read additional information on the specifics of the issues themselves.
The JLUS strategies incorporate a variety of actions that promote compatible
land use and resource planning. Upon implementation, existing and
potential compatibility issues arising from the civilian / military interface can
be removed or significantly mitigated. The recommended strategies function
as the heart of the JLUS document and are the culmination of the planning
process.
The key to the implementation of strategies is the establishment of the
JLUS Implementation Coordination Committee (see Strategy COM‐1A) to
oversee the execution of the JLUS. Through this committee, local
jurisdictions, Keesler AFB, and other stakeholders can continue their
collaboration and make adjustments to strategies over time to ensure the
JLUS continues to resolve key compatibility issues into the future through
realistic strategies and implementation.
It is important to note that the JLUS is not an adopted plan,
but rather a recommended set of strategies which should be
implemented by the JLUS participants in order to address
current and potential future compatibility issues.
