CMB is a grouping of EB-5 Regional Centers that has its beginning in the CMB Export EB-5 Regional Center.
The CMB Export EB-5 Regional Center (CMB) was authorized on August 15, 1997 and subsequently reaffirmed and geographically expanded April 2007, June 2010, May 2012 and July 2013. The formation of CMB (an acronym for “California Military Bases” or “Closed Military Bases”), as originally constituted, was intended to assist California communities which have experienced the devastating economic effects of military base closures due to the determinations of the Federal Base Realignment and Closure Commission (“BRAC”). The CMB Export geographic scope originally outlined in its authorization included the counties of San Bernardino and Riverside in Southern California and the county of Sacramento in Northern California. The business or operational focus of the original regional center designation was the rehabilitation to civilian use of the closed or realigned military bases and to provide jobs in the counties in which they reside.
