FORT CARSON — Five barracks under construction at Fort Carson are being tested for mold after spores were discovered in least one of them.
Fort Carson spokeswoman Dee McNutt said all the buildings in the $135 million project will be tested and any required remediation will be completed before ownership is transferred to the Army.
The contractor for the barracks, Hensel Phelps Construction of Greeley, said the mold problem has been remedied. The company's president, Jeff Wenaas, said the mold grew after some of the modules got wet during transport.
The barracks are part of $2.25 billion in construction projects underway to accommodate 28,000 soldiers by 2013, nearly double the number of troops there in 2003.
