Work as part of an $850,000 grading project is shown May 1, 2023, on the cantonment area at Fort McCoy, Wis.
An extensive grading project began in April 2023 around Fort McCoy’s building 2000 on the cantonment area to improve drainage in that area, according to the Fort McCoy Directorate of Public Works.
The project was awarded to RHI Construction, and Gerke Excavating of Tomah, Wis., is working as a subcontractor on the project.
The work comes just several years after building 2000 itself was upgraded in 2018-19 with an approximate $5.1 million renovation.
The project’s completion is expected to be summer 2023.
Fort McCoy was established in 1909 and its motto is to be the “Total Force Training Center.”
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 nearly every year since 1984.
