• “BUILDUP I” and “BUILDUP-LITE”• Originally, GPA had $137 million in projects whose need is either

created by the Military Buildup or was moved up by the Military Buildup.

• GWA had successfully negotiated for $420 million in projects.

• DOD had agreed to finance and pay for all incremental costs of Buildup

• Buildup-lite is expected to have less of an impact but we will continue to insist that the buildup pays for its impact so it not burden island residents or resources.
