Each year, the Air Force redistributes unused funds that had been earmarked for other uses to worthy projects submitted by bases. Col. Ken Bryson, commander of CAFB's mission support group, says the money received is double last year's amount.
Bryson says projects range from repairing and repainting parking lots and runways, to a $4 million renovation of officers' dormitories and a $2.9 million renovation of the wing commander's headquarters building.
The base also plans to repair roofs on buildings base-wide; renovate the wing's repair hangar, which was originally built to service B-52 bombers; and to build new munition storage buildings, replacing buildings constructed in the 1950s.
