A ceremony planned for September 4th will mark the start of construction on the $105 million dollar project as well as planned improvements to modernize facilities and infrastructure at the 80-year-old installation. More than one billion dollars of military construction projects are planned through 2027 to make way for six F-35 Lightning squadrons.
