The 42nd Civil Engineer Squadron is scheduled to undergo a number of construction projects over the next year including multiple renovations as well as the planning of future building projects on base.

 

While many projects starting this year are repairs or renovations, one of the highlights is the initial planning for a new air traffic control tower here. Due to the current tower being one of the oldest still in use in the Air Force, Maxwell was recently allotted $18 million for a new one to be built, although a date has yet to be set for construction.

 

Below is a list of some of the other highlighted projects scheduled to begin/continue construction as well as estimated completion dates:

 

-ROTC dorm renovation: 5 Sept. 2018 – 31 March 2019

-Riverfront Inn dining facility HVAC repair: 20 July 2018 – 16 Jan. 2019
