Venerable Fort Norfolk building sees last day

FORT NORFOLK, Va — The last remnants of venerable Building 36 were trucked away last week, part of the Fort Norfolk Project to construct a new guardhouse, security fence and parking lot to enhance force protection conditions for the Waterfield Building.
Building 36 served the District well over the years as a short and long-term multi-use facility, housing employees and equipment. I fondly remember working out on fitness equipment at Building 36, said several employees here.
Homeland Contracting Corporation, a small, woman-owned, disadvantaged business located in Virginia Beach, Va., is within budget and on schedule to complete the $750,000 project in December. "Traffic flow on Front Street will continue to be unchanged throughout the project," said Norfolk District Project Manager Craig Jones. “Some disruption will occur to parking lot areas to allow contractor to install utilities and create new parking spaces, but employees will receive advance notice prior to disruptions."
