May 7, 2008 The Army will spend $52 million renovating four Korean War-era barracks at Fort Meade, officials at the military post in Anne Arundel County said this week.
The four buildings were each built to house about 166 service members in training. Renovations are scheduled to begin on two of the buildings this year and be completed by 2010, said Tom White, Fort Meade's housing officer. Renovations will start on the two others by 2010, he said.
He said Fort Meade recently inspected all of its barracks and relocated several soldiers who occupied rooms in need of repairs. Problems included mold, leaky pipes and windows that do not open, White said.
The announcement followed a controversy last month involving rundown housing conditions at barracks in Fort Bragg, N.C.
White said the renovation plans at Fort Meade were in place long before media coverage of the Fort Bragg conditions.
