Study Aims to Align Military, Community Missions at Redmond Taylor Army Heliport
Joining Forces, a Regional Joint Land Use Study (JLUS), will identify and recommend communication and land use strategies that support continued military capabilities. The cities and counties surrounding Redmond Taylor Army Heliport, located on the northwest side of Mountain Creek Lake, will work with the facility to plan and carry out specific actions that will promote compatible community and economic growth.
Insight and input from Grand Prairie and Dallas residents are vital to the success of the study around Redmond Taylor Army Heliport. Short surveys at www.JoiningForcesNTX.org ask about compatibility issues like noise, safety/security, environmental resources and communication/coordination as well as how residents would like to learn about and stay involved in the study.
Land uses that can be incompatible when they occur near a military installation include urban growth, energy development, the presence of wildlife or water and land uses that restrict air space or create a threat to security.
The regional study coordinated by the North Central Texas Council of Governments also includes communities and military operations for Naval Air Station Fort Worth, Joint Reserve Base, Fort Wolters Training Center in Mineral Wells and Camp Maxey Training Center near Paris. Installations are nominated for a JLUS by the military, and the study is funded by the Department of Defense Office of Economic Adjustment.
