Master Planning

Sustainable Installation Management Plans

The NRI Master Planning team supports the Army mission and objectives of a sustainable master planning process through detailed and wide-ranging development, operations and management. Our team delivers installation-specific and headquarters-driven planning and guidance for future installation development. NRI approaches development plans holistically and collaborates with installation staff to deliver total asset principles. We generate objectives within our comprehensive development plans that seek to conserve land and natural resources, as well as multiply the longevity of the facilities.
Our team’s local and innovative approach for sustainable land and resource management and planning is accomplished with our acquisition, studies, management and planning of geospatial data, real property inventory, environmental elements, utilities and facilities and construction initiatives. Our services support economic efficiency, quality of life and environmental stewardship throughout garrison communities. NRI finds creative solutions that most efficiently use installation assets, while adhering to basic master planning principles and the Army’s Master Planning and Programming process.
