Work continues steadily to build a new $7.03 million shipping and receiving/mail freight facility near the new Gate 20 at Fort McCoy.
This project is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Contractor Relyant Global LLC was awarded this contract to design and build the facility, said Ken Green with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Resident Office at Fort McCoy.
The contract calls for the construction of a pre-engineered metal building that will have 19,500 square feet of space, Green said. This work includes all necessary infrastructure and related building needs.
As of April 24, construction was 75 percent complete, Green said. Contractors continue to install sheetrock and finish and paint it. Also, doors have been installed, roof trimming continues, and exterior grading is taking place.
Completion of the shipping and receiving facility should be sometime this summer, Green said.
Projects like this align with Fort McCoy’s long-range strategic planning objectives, including to “sustain and modernize Fort McCoy’s cantonment, range complex, strategic mobility, physical security, quality of life, and information technology infrastructure.”
Throughout the past decade, Fort McCoy has experienced unprecedented facility modernization, according to the 2020 Fort McCoy Executive Summary, which is produced by the Fort McCoy Garrison. The improvement effort also has included training-area development and expansion, increased training and customer-support capacity, and improved quality-of-life opportunities.
Construction projects like this contributed to the installation’s $1.18 billion economic impact to local communities near the post in fiscal year 2019, according to the executive summary. Data show $27.6 million in new construction at Fort McCoy during fiscal year 2019.
Located in the heart of the upper Midwest, Fort McCoy is the only U.S. Army installation in Wisconsin.
The installation has provided support and facilities for the field and classroom training of more than 100,000 military personnel from all services each year since 1984.
