Naval Station Ingleside Seal
Naval Station Ingleside Electromagnetic Reduction Facility, Texas
Background on Installation
Naval Station Ingleside (NSI) was selected for closure under the 2005 round of Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC). The closure involves the reversion of two sites, the main Naval Station site of 576.62 acres (located in the city limits of Ingleside) and a separate dredge spoil area of 336.36 acres (located in San Patricio County) totaling 912.98 acres. All reversionary property was deeded to the Port of Corpus Christi Authority. The closure also includes a 155 acre (105.47 acres submerged) Electro-Magnetic Reduction (EMR) Facility located three miles northwest of the main base, which is not part of the reversion. The EMR Facility is the only property declared surplus . In response to the BRAC actions, the community formed the multi-jurisdictional Ingleside Local Redevelopment Authority (LRA) to plan for the reuse of the EMR Facility and to undertake a regional economic diversification strategy in order to help mitigate military and civilian job losses in the region, which are estimated at 6,605. Reuse planning of the main base was conducted solely by the Port of Corpus Christi Authority.

Newport Chemical Depot Administration Building
Newport Chemical Depot, Indiana
Background on Installation
The Newport Chemical Depot (NECD or Depot) is an Army Material Command facility located in Vermillion County, Indiana. The Depot is responsible for neutralization of the VX chemical agent stored on site. This neutralization process began in May 2005, and was completed in August 2008.

The Newport Chemical Depot Reuse Authority (NeCDRA) was established by Vermillion County to guide the county’s efforts to respond to the closure of the Newport Chemical Depot. NeCDRA is both the planning and implementation authority, with the ability to incur debt and to acquire and develop the surplus military property. NeCDRA is composed of five county residents appointed by the Vermillion County Commissioners.
