The Congress authorized funds to communities to expand
facilities and services needed for new workers and families when
the Trident submarine base becomes operational in the 1980's.
Findings/Conclusions: Under existing Federal programs, the
Secretary of Defense provides financial aid to other departments
and agencies for planning, construction, and/or subsidies of
schools, roads, water and sewer systems, low-rent housing,
recre&tion, and other facilities. Preliminary estimates included
a total cost of about $204 million to finance Trident-related
community impact costs. The Federal share was estimated to be
about $120 million. Current planning lacks estimates of
offsetting local revenue increases, his not fully considered
possible population increases in other counties, and depends on
certain assumptions and cost factors which should be
reconsidered. Recommendations: The Secretary of Defense should
instruct the Office of Economic Adjustment to (1) recognize and
consider that Trident-related growth may occur in counties other
than Kitsap, and that some of the work force from those counties
may be drawn to the Trident base: (2) determine the revenues
estimated to be generated by the increase in population and new
facilities and consider such data in arriving at an amount of
Federal funds to be rovided; and (3) reexamine its estimate of
costs for increased facilities and services resulting from the
Trident site, including those requirements not previgusly shown
in the Office of Economic Adjustment's estimate of costs.
