Jeff Hawkins, a biologist from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District, holds a big brown bat (Eptesicus fuscus) during a multi-species survey for federally listed species in Asheville, North Carolina, Jul. 25, 2024.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has submitted a “May Affect, Not Likely To Adversely Affect” determination to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, who formally concur with the determination, satisfying USACE’s Section 7/Endangered Species Act/National Environmental Policy Act regulatory requirements and providing the green light for the clearing of the project footprint for a 300-member Army Reserve Center.
The Army Reserve Center is designed to support the USAR’s mission to provide trained and ready units and individuals to mobilize and deploy in support of the national military strategy. The construction contract was awarded on June 20, 2024, for approximately $31.9 million and is anticipated to be completed in winter 2027.
