Funding Secured for Advance New Communications Facility Project for MCLB Albany
Friday, June 9th, 2023
U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff is delivering upgrades to Marine Corps Logistics Base Albany to strengthen national security.
Sen. Ossoff successfully brought Republicans and Democrats in Congress together to support the design of a new consolidated communication facility. According to the Marine Corps, the project will eventually provide the installation with a dedicated communications facility to more efficiently support the vital Marine Corps logistics mission.
“I’m working to upgrade Marine Corps Logistics Base’s communications facilities to strengthen national security and support this vital Georgia installation,” Sen. Ossoff said.
Without this new facility, according to officials, MCLB Albany would face limitations to its critical logistics capabilities, damaging national security and military readiness.
Sen. Ossoff secured $6.4 million for the project with bipartisan support in last year’s government funding package.
