Subase New London Compatible Use Plan
About the Plan
What is the Compatible Use Plan (CUP)?
Military installations such as SUBASE New London are integral to the community and economy of southeastern Connecticut. The CUP is a plan designed to facilitate cooperative land use and effective communication between these local military installations and neighboring communities.
The goals of the plan are to:
Promote community development that is compatible with the military's operational missions
Seek ways to reduce spillover effects of SUBASE operations on neighboring communities
Address common challenges that impact both military and civilian personnel at the SUBASE
Increase public awareness of the military mission and its regional economic contributions
With these goals in mind, the planning process will explore opportunities for collaborating on topics such as transportation, zoning, housing, economic development, use of the Thames River, climate resilience, and more.
