The Department of Defense has allocated $54.7 million to the Army post for infrastructure repairs, including upgrades to roads, small-arms ranges and heat-distribution piping. The money is part of the $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

Small-arms range repairs: $1.5 million.
Major range road repairs: $2.226 million.
Heat-distribution piping repairs: $10.57 million.
