-- Infrastructure Improvements at Shepherd Airbase:  $19.5 million has been requested for the West Virginia Air National Guard to complete the upgrade of the taxiway at Shepherd Airbase in Martinsburg, West Virginia.  The current taxiway was designed for small- and medium-weight aircraft and requires structural upgrades to make it serviceable to accommodate the conversion of the base to the much heavier C-5 aircraft, which are now stationed there.

 

-- Emergency Service Center at the Naval Security Group Activity:  $9.56 million has been requested for the U.S. Navy to replace the Emergency Service Center at the Naval Security Group Activity at Sugar Grove, West Virginia.  The project entails consolidating the current outdated fire station and emergency dispatch office into a larger facility that is fire and OSHA compliant, and helps to significantly improve the response time of emergency personnel.

 

-- Morgantown Readiness Center:  $21.4 million has been requested for the West Virginia Army National Guard to construct a new 53,000 square-foot Morgantown Readiness Center at the Morgantown Airport to replace the current 1973 facility, which is landlocked and offers no area for expansion. The project would aid the units’ ability to meet its readiness, recruiting and retention, and training objectives. 

 

-- Moorefield Readiness Center:  $14.5 million has been requested for the West Virginia Army National Guard to construct a new 55,000 square-foot Moorefield Readiness Center at the site of the new Eastern West Virginia Community and Technical College.  The Guard is currently leasing space for a military police company unit, and the new permanent facility would provide the necessary force protection, administrative, training, storage, and parking areas required for the unit to achieve proficiency in required training tasks. 

 

-- Enhanced Security at Yeager Airbase:  $9 million has been requested for the West Virginia Army National Guard to implement force protection and security enhancements at the Yeager Airbase in Charleston, West Virginia.  These improvements are necessary to better protect critical national security assets and personnel at Yeager Airbase, and to remedy identified deficiencies.   

 

-- Communications Training Facility at Yeager Airbase: $5.75 million has been requested for the West Virginia Air National Guard to replace its 1958 Communications Training Facility at Yeager Airport in Charleston, West Virginia.   The current facility is half of the space required, and has numerous health, safety, and fire code deficiencies. 

 

-- Logan Readiness Center:  $14.2 million has been requested for the West Virginia Army National Guard to construct a new 57,000 square-foot Logan Readiness Center near Holden, West Virginia.  The new center will replace existing armories in Monaville and Williamson, both of which are unable to meet existing force protection requirements and are grossly undersized and not configured for the currently assigned units. 

 

-- Buckhannon Readiness Center:  $7 million has been requested for the West Virginia Army National Guard to supplement programmed funds in order to construct a new readiness center in Buckhannon, West Virginia, which will be part of a larger complex.  The 1950’s center needs to be updated and expanded to accommodate the assigned units, as well as a 64-person engineering company that will be relocated from Weston in the future. 

 

-- Upgrades to the St. Albans Armory:  $2 million has been requested for the West Virginia National Army Guard to expand the 1960’s armory in St. Albans, West Virginia, by 4,600 square feet and to bring the remainder of the facility up to code in terms of life safety, fire, communications, electrical, and HVAC issues.
