Military family housing

Not only will this project improve the living situation of dozens of military families, but the improvements will increase energy efficiency on Eilson Air Force Base. This project will replace 72 1962-vintage military family housing units at Eielson Air Force Base, AK, with 76 modern homes that are more energy efficient. This project was awarded for $50 million in August 2009 to Lakeshore Engineering Services, a small business concern, and started construction in September 2009.
