$1.5 Billion Included for BRAC at Fort Belvoir |
||
Ft. Myer and Pentagon Facilities Also Receive Funding | ||
Washington, D.C., June 25th – Congressman Jim Moran, Virginia Democrat and senior member of the House Appropriations Committee, supported a number of Northern Virginia BRAC-related and military facility funding requests in the FY’09 Military Construction Appropriations bill. The bill was approved by the House Appropriations Committee this week. “Ft. Belvoir is undergoing a facilities upgrade in order to accommodate the 19,000 new employees scheduled to be relocated there by 2011,” said Moran. “This legislation provides a major portion of the money required for construction of the new hospital, office buildings and a defense access road into the Engineer Proving Grounds. Much more is needed to mitigate the growing traffic congestion in the region that the BRAC moves will cause and I will continue to fight for our region’s fair share.” Ft. Belvoir BRAC-related military construction projects ($1.4 billion total) $36 million – Defense Access Roads – Finances the design and construction of installation entrances to the Engineer Proving Grounds. Construction is scheduled to be completed by December 2010. $300,000 – Hatfield Gate at Fort Myer – Provides for a study on a future expansion of Hatfield Gate at Ft. Myer designed to speed up the construction process. Fort Myer is expanding as part of the Army’s “grow-the-force initiative”, and this effort is necessary to ease traffic congestion along Washington Blvd. --30-- |
