Fort Campbell is moving forward with its housing improvement plan.
The U.S. Army Garrison-Fort Campbell in partnership with Campbell Crossing-Lendlease has developed a plan for major home construction and renovation in the next five years as part of the long-term goal to replace legacy housing with quality homes for Soldiers and Families assigned to Fort Campbell.
Post officials say Campbell Crossing-Leadlease recently received the Army’s approval for the $87.4 million five-year development plan that includes the construction of 144 new junior enlisted units, the renovation of 170 multiplex units and the demolition of 250 homes in LaPointe Village.
The new junior enlisted homes will be constructed in an all-new neighborhood located between the Lee Park neighborhood and The Commons at Pierce Village Community Center, while the renovations will include major interior and exterior work to homes in New Hammond Heights. The effort is in concert with the Army’s Military Housing Privatization Initiative.
Renovations, as well as design and construction of new homes will be headed by Campbell Crossing-Lendlease. Tentative groundbreaking for the new homes is March 2, 2021, with anticipated completion in September 2023. Renovations are expected to be completed in fall 2023.
Designs for the new homes are in the initial planning phase but are expected to feature energy efficiencies as well as smart technology, large central gathering spaces in the neighborhood with a walkable design, and trails connecting to other communities.
