I ran across that one too
I ran across that one too but I think it's recycled from the original problems with the environmental impact survey that held up the start of the project. There's an approved survey on file for the site now, and nothing else current with the EPA. The local tree hugers there seem more or less taken up with the new jets coming in and the possibility of more drilling in the gulf. The compound seems to be the major bill payer for the prime contractor (Hensel–Phelps) due to the downturn so it's getting their full attention. There's four miles of new paved road already in to the site from SR 85 and the foundations are already in for what looks like the Group HQ and and BN HQ's. It looks like they already built the track for some bizarre reason and framing is going up on the HQ and one of the other buildings from what I can see, (hard to find photo's that make sense, local media is not that good). I was wondering more about policy as the move schedule has 3rd BN heading down first but the Army Corps of Engineers Project Manger made a comment about Commo guys being the first wave to make sure everything is operational prior to the main body. I am planning on moving my family ahead (straight there when we PCS in July) and I am wondering if there is going to be some sort of ADVON I can volunteer for if the deployment rotation doesn't eat up the whole year gap.
