Welcome to the Fort Ord Reuse Authority ("FORA") website. We hope that your visit is useful, enjoyable, and informative. FORA is responsible for the planning, financing, and implementation of the conversion of the former Fort Ord to civilian activities. The approved Base Reuse Plan calls for significant commercial economic development, supportive housing, visitor serving facilities, and related institutional activities to replace the contribution to the local economy of the 15,000 soldiers and thousands of civilian employees when Fort Ord was active. Nearly two-thirds of the former base will be preserved and maintained as habitat for endangered species and recreational open space.
We value your interest in our work and hope that you will find this website helpful. We strive to make sure that our work serves the needs of the local and regional communities in fair and equitable ways. To this end, we have outlined items on this website for government, community, and business interests to fully appreciate and understand the scale of our work. On behalf of the Board of Directors and our staff, thank you for visiting our website. Please contact us is you have any further questions.
Mayor Joe Russell, Chair
Michael A. Houlemard, Jr. Executive Officer
