Hawley on new housing to be built at Ft. Leonard Wood

The Army will build 180 new homes at Fort Leonard Wood for military personnel and their families. 

Missouri U-S Senator Josh Hawley says more than 41 million dollars will go towards construction of new housing this year, followed by 50 million next year:

“The housing at Fort Leonard Wood — much of it, most of it — is badly dated. I’ve been there, I’ve been in the houses, I’ve talked to the families, I’ve talked to the kids, I’ve seen what it’s like and there needs to be replacements across the board.”

Hawley says he’s been pushing for funding to build new housing at Fort Leonard Wood for three years, dating back to the Trump administration.
