DYESS AIR FORCE BASE $1.3 MILLION IN MATCHING GRANTS SINCE 2020

Partners with our Protectors

In 2022, the DCOA committed $580,000 in matching funds for Defense Economic Adjustment Assistance Grants for upgrades and improvements at Dyess Air Force Base.

For the last three years, the DCOA has committed more than $1 million in matching grants to improve infrastructure for Dyess Air Force Base. These improvements are critical to positioning Dyess Air Force

Base in such a way that it will continue to increase the value to our nation’s defense and strengthen its position as one of the country’s premier air bases.

The 2022 grants are divided into two portions: $300,000 will upgrade fiber infrastructure to position Dyess Air Force Base for future communication needs with the addition of the new B-21 Raider bomber being housed in Abilene, and $280,000 will bolster security in and around the base to protect the incoming B-21 Raider bomber and its resources.
