In the case of the establishment or expansion of a military installation, assistance may be made only if community impact assistance is not otherwise available and if the establishment or expansion involves the assignment to the installation of: (1) more than 2,000 military, civilian, and contractor Department of Defense personnel or (2) more military, civilian, and contractor DoD personnel than the number equal to ten percent of the number of persons employed in counties or municipalities within fifteen miles of the installation, whichever is lesser.
