Rule Set (Binding)
- Rule 1 (Eminent Domain): takings are permitted only from government or municipal entities; no civilian or private-party domain takings are permitted.
- Brownfield-first siting: every state candidate is a brownsite, former military site, or vacant public-industrial parcel.
- Day-1 environmental cleanup: remediation funding and execution begin at activation.
- Private participation path: private firms may lease/operate, but land control must remain government/municipal under TriSeadon entry conditions.
Role in the National Shipbuilding Initiative
- 50-state module campuses are support-force multipliers for modules, sensors, weapons components, testing, logistics, and training support, not a 50 full-hull-yard concept.
- These campuses feed GOGO/GOCO/COCO build lanes through standardized interfaces and DLA-managed inventory pathways.
- Activation is synchronized with the national ramp schedule so module throughput grows as hull throughput grows.
- State/federal capital model is designed for recovery: 1:1 activation match, then state and federal shares split contractor lease/rent streams for the first 10 years, or until the initial public capital is recovered.
National 50-State Module-Campus Expansion Framework
State-congressional case: this is a jobs-and-asset model. Federal matching dollars help stand up each campus, then ownership transitions to the state, contractors pay rent to operate, and states retain the facility as a long-life economic and strategic asset.
Participation policy: this is an open opt-in program, not a mandatory requirement. States can join at launch or opt in later as political and budget conditions change over the 25-50 year program horizon.
Is up to $150M from a state a huge ask? It is a serious capital ask, but it is not unreasonable if the federal 1:1 match is real and the result is a fully remediated, turn-key module campus. In this model, a state is not buying a concept. It is co-funding a core activation package of up to about $300M built around up to $150M state and up to $150M federal, with additional assistance available through hazmat, learning, union, VA, and similar programs tied to cleanup, utilities, access, workforce ramp, and a standing industrial asset it will ultimately own.
Why that matters politically: the state gets brownfield remediation, durable skilled jobs, contractor lease income after transition, and a recoverable public asset rather than a one-time grant burn. The proposal only works if federal terms, cleanup liability, and transfer conditions are clear enough that a governor, legislature, county, and host city can defend the commitment as development policy, not as speculative defense spending.
Expected campus scale: these are not super-yards and they are not meant to build full capital ships end to end. The baseline planning assumption is a module campus with two joined 100-acre yards sharing infrastructure and able to run two separate module or program lines at once. The campus may scale down to a single yard or up to three or four yards sharing the same backbone if local land, workforce, and demand justify it. A waterfront location is useful for some states, but many of these campuses are inland module, storage, training, or systems sites rather than full naval construction yards.
- National inclusion rule: all 50 U.S. states are offered participation in the state-campus framework, including states that already host GOCO, GOGO, or COCO yards.
- Multi-site rule: some states may host more than one campus based on readiness and strategic demand.
- Campus-size rule: new module-campus sites should plan around two joined 100-acre yards wherever practical, but may scale from one yard to as many as four yards sharing infrastructure when location, workforce, and mission demand justify it.
- Phased expansion rule: a state may pursue a second yard after the first yard has completed transition to stable state-controlled contractor-leased operations and is meeting performance, occupancy, and compliance targets.
- Site identification status: each state should carry one primary candidate plus two alternate candidates for Phase-0 validation and fallback sequencing.
- Siting priority: brownsites, environmental recovery sites, former military parcels, and public-industrial land are prioritized for acquisition and reuse.
- Federal action sequence: U.S. government acquires eligible site control, starts cleanup scheduling, and funds yard buildout under phased activation gates.
- Capital treatment rule: federal state-campus capital is structured as recoverable funding, not permanent one-way spend, through the first 10 years of contractor lease/rent recovery or until the initial public capital is recovered.
- Activation-offset rule: each campus should seek cleanup grants, hazmat support, workforce-schooling funds, union apprenticeship partnerships, VA education support, veteran-transition incentives, and similar programs where available.
| Funding and Ownership Model | Program Rule |
|---|---|
| State participation baseline | State commits up to about $150M per approved module-campus activation package. |
| Federal match | U.S. government matches the core state contribution at $1-for-$1 (up to about $150M federal match per module-campus activation package). |
| Local co-funding path | States may require county and city beneficiaries to provide part of the state-side contribution or percentage-based co-share. |
| Eligible yard mission types | ISO/module fabrication, DLA storage, training yards, testing yards, weapons systems, power systems, sensor systems, and related defense-industrial support functions. |
| Default yard form | Default planning form is one campus with two joined 100-acre yards sharing utilities, rail, gates, security, training, and laydown backbone wherever practical. |
| Baseline yard size | Typical activation target is a two-yard campus with active yard cells of about 100 acres each, but the model can scale down to one yard or up to four yards under one shared infrastructure package. |
| Baseline activation package | Planning target is up to about $300M in core state-plus-federal capital per campus, with additional assistance potentially layered in through cleanup, training, union, VA, and education programs. |
| Transition model | After activation, each yard transitions into state-controlled, contractor-leased operations with federal compliance covenants and shared rent recovery during the first 10 years. |
| Second-yard eligibility | A state may apply for a second yard after the first yard completes transition and demonstrates stable operations, workforce retention, and covenant compliance. |
| Federal recovery note | State and federal shares split contractor lease/rent streams for the first 10 years, or until the initial public capital is recovered; after that, the state receives 100% of lease/rent streams. |
Transition intent: federal capital, grants, and cleanup support stand up the module campus, then contractor lease/rent streams repay the initial public capital during the first 10 years while workforce and production scale under national standards. After recovery, the state retains 100% of contractor lease/rent streams.

- Economic outcome: sustained jobs in state/county/city labor markets and durable supplier growth.
- Intergenerational outcome: the model supports long-run industrial continuity over 25-50 years despite election-cycle changes.
- Fiscal outcome: contractor lease and operating payments are shared during the first 10 years of recovery, then flow 100% to the state after recovery is complete.
- Asset outcome: the state keeps ownership of the facility for future industrial and defense use.
State Lease-Rent Recovery Model (Post-Activation)
- Federal recovery model: each yard transitions under a recoverable-capital structure so public build funding is repaid over time instead of treated as permanent loss.
- Recovery trigger: contractor lease and rent streams begin sharing back to state and federal partners once the campus is activated and occupied.
- Shared recovery period: contractor lease/rent streams are split between state and federal partners for the first 10 years, or until the initial public capital is recovered.
- Post-recovery rule: once recovery is complete, contractor lease/rent streams transition to 100% state (subject to continuing national mission-use covenants where applicable).
- Campus release rule: after recovery and covenant compliance, the campus remains with the state with hazmat reclamation resolved across the 200-acre site.
| Period | Payment and Ownership Rule |
|---|---|
| Activation and early occupancy | Federal/state execute buildout, cleanup, certification, and tenant activation while lease/rent streams begin to form. |
| Recovery Phase (up to 10 years) | Contractor lease/rent streams are split between state and federal partners until the initial public capital is recovered. |
| After Federal Payoff | State receives 100% operating income and holds full ownership for long-run economic and strategic use. |

- Phase 2: activation funding ties cleanup metrics, schedule performance, and workforce onboarding to release gates.
- Phase 3 (Years 1-5): federal-state transition period converts each activated site to state-owned, contractor-operated governance while maintaining compliance, labor, and mission-readiness standards.
- Any site requiring private/civilian eminent-domain action is automatically disqualified under Rule 1.
