Funding for the $23 million project comes from the U.S. Army. When finished in 2014, the center will support the missions of the Maine National Guard’s 133rd Engineer Battalion and other units, according to Army spokesmen.
JCN Construction, based in Manchester, N.H., and with a Brunswick Landing satellite office at 25 Orion St., has been awarded the project contract. When built, the facility will feature solar panels for electricity, a parking shelter and a vegetated roof system to reduce and mitigate storm water runoff.
