Summary

  • Allows sponsoring communities within two miles of Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) to create Military Benefit Zones (MBZs), to allow for certain financing options for public improvements that meet certain requirements.
  • Allows communities that create an MBZ to issue bonds for the financing of public improvement projects within the MBZ boundaries.
  • Allows communities that create MBZs to apply to the Department of Commerce for a project award, the amount of which may then be collected through an additional sales and use tax credited against state sales and use tax.
