Bay Ridge — 181 done, 149 to go
New homes in the Bay Ridge military family housing area border the area where the last remaining old homes have been leveled. Contractors have finished the asbestos abatement process and are continuing site work for utility installation. Slabs and infrastructure are being put in place. As of Tuesday, 181 Bay Ridge homes have been completed, and 149 are left to finish. Keesler’s $287 million military housing project, the largest program of its kind in Air Force history, started in March 2007. The target date for completion is July 2010, and so far, 74 percent of the work is completed, according to Dave Horner, project manager. (U.S. Air Force photo by Kemberly Groue)
