    The Department of Defense is forecasting a Notice of Funding Opportunity for a $75 million Community Noise Mitigation Program aimed at state and local governments. The funding, authorized under the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2022, is designated for installing noise insulation at “covered” facilities—such as schools, hospitals, and residences—within active military aviation noise areas. The program requires a 10% local cost share for project funding and emphasizes proposals that follow federal guidelines on noise mitigation. Interested parties must provide feedback by October 13, 2023, and eligible projects must demonstrate readiness to commence within 12 months of award. A selection panel will evaluate proposals on criteria that include community impact, project readiness, and noise mitigation strategies, ultimately leading to a final ranking and award process. The grants, based on specific eligibility criteria, must be awarded and obligated by September 30, 2025, allowing recipients five years to use the funds. This initiative reflects a commitment to improving community engagement and mitigating the adverse effects of military aviation-related noise.
