District Context & Mission Impact
This large-scale design-build contract vehicle is administered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers New England District (headquartered in Concord, Massachusetts). The New England District manages military construction, environmental restoration, and civil works projects across Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.
