Project Overview

In December of 2011, squadron leadership decided to undertake a massive project to revitalize and modernize our squadron building. The building is estimated to have been built in the 60′s, and was thought to have been last remodeled in the 80′s. Throughout the building there are signs of age, wear, old technology infrastructure and inefficient uses of space. At the completion of the project, the squadron will have a more comfortable and efficient meeting and operations space. The facility will also be better equipped to function as an alternate mission base.
