Congressman Van Drew: $400 Million Coast Guard Contract Officially Awarded, Project Moves into Design-Build Phase

Washington, DC - Today, Congressman Van Drew announced that the United States Coast Guard has officially awarded the $400 million contract to design and construct the new barracks and training facilities at Coast Guard Training Center Cape May. The contract moves the project into the design-build phase, bringing it one step closer to construction and giving a clearer picture of what these modernized facilities will look like once complete. "This is the single largest federal investment in the history of South Jersey, and we are finally seeing it come to life," said Congressman Van Drew. "The contract is awarded, the design is moving forward, and this is where it starts to become real. Almost every enlisted member of the Coast Guard begins their service in Cape May, and these young men and women deserve modern, reliable facilities from day one. That is exactly what this project is going to deliver."
