JLUS Project Overview
What is a Joint Land Use Study?
A Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) is a cooperative land use planning effort conducted as a joint venture between an active military installation, surrounding cities and counties, state and federal agencies, and other affected stakeholders. The Camp Grayling/Alpena CRTC JLUS is a compatibility planning study funded through a grant from the Department of Defense (DOD) Office of Economic Adjustment (OEA) and matched by the State of Michigan.
What is the JLUS Study Area?
The study area encompasses Camp Grayling and the surrounding communities in a 20-mile radius and the Alpena CRTC and the surrounding communities in a 15-mile radius.
What is the goal of the JLUS?
The goal of the JLUS is to encourage local governments, together with the State, to work closely with the military installation to implement measures that prevent the introduction of incompatible civilian development that may impair the continued operational utility of the military installation and to preserve and manage the public health, safety, and welfare of those living near an active military installation, and associated ranges, Military Training Routes, Special Use Airspace, and Military Operating Areas.
The JLUS planning process is intended to increase public awareness of the military missions and contribution to the regional economy.
The JLUS planning process is intended to manage and preserve military readiness and defense capabilities while supporting continued community economic development.
