The Omnibus Appropriations bill for the 2016 fiscal year is set to be voted on this month and includes three military construction projects for Jacksonville bases.

As far as local Jacksonville moving companies have learned from Congressman Ander Crenshaw of the House of Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense, the proposed fiscal bill will help support the military projects for Littoral Combat Ships. If it is passed, the projects will receive $16.1 million for the construction of support facilities.

Leader of the LCS Squadron at Mayport Naval Station, Captain Paul Young, says the construction is expected to begin early in 2016 and be completed a little over a year later. However, Mayport Naval Station is not the only Jacksonville military base that is said to receive additional funding for the 2016 fiscal year.

The Omnibus Appropriations bill has also set aside $8.2 million to go to Naval Air Station Jacksonville (NAS JAX) for the construction of a facility to support the MQ-4 Triton unmanned aerial surveillance system.

Apparently, surveillance is a top priority for 2016, as the bill also set aside another $8.4 million for the Fleet Support Facility to install the Littoral Surveillance Radar System at their air station.

If you are moving to Jacksonville for military job opportunities or reassignment/relocation, All My Sons Moving & Storage can help make your move seamless. Now is the perfect time to move to Jacksonville to live at NAS JAX or Mayport, as the bases receive an increase of funds, an increase in equipment and air support, and more technologically advanced systems.
