Latest Outdoor Play Equipment News: Hot New Childrens Balance Bikes Introduced

NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Balfour Beatty Communities, LLC announced today that its Fort Bliss/White Sands Missile Range military housing privatization project with the U.S. Department of the Army will begin a new expansion phase covering the development and new construction of an additional 500 townhomes at Fort Bliss, TX. This is the second phase of an expansion project initiated in August 2011. The development and construction costs for this expansion phase have been primarily funded through the placement of a $141 million loan with the existing lender for the project. Balfour Beatty Communities will oversee the design, construction, and overall management, maintenance and operational responsibilities for the housing units, which are expected to be completed in January 2016. General contractor services will be delivered by Balfour Beatty Construction, LLC, based in Dallas, TX.

The significant growth at Fort Bliss in recent years has created an increased need for military family housing options, said Chris Williams, President of Balfour Beatty Communities. This expansion project will help us keep pace with this need as we look to deliver the highest level of service to the military members and their families stationed at Fort Bliss.

Balfour Beatty Communities assumed responsibility for family housing at Fort Bliss in July 2005. As a result of various initiatives within the Department of the Army, there has been a significant increase in the military strength at the installation, as they transform their focus from training to forces command. This refocus has led to an increased need for additional family housing options at the post. As a result of this expansion project, the total inventory of on-base homes will increase to more than 4,400.

The 500 newly constructed townhomes at Fort Bliss will be designated for Junior Enlisted (JENL) and Junior Non-Commissioned Officer (JNCO) ranks and their families. The new units will consist of two story, four-plex arrangements, and one-story duplex accessible units. Design and appearance will resemble single family homes developed under the Companys existing Fort Bliss project, featuring stucco and arched entries. Additional amenities for the service members and their families will include playground areas, basketball courts, volleyball courts and large gazebos. Construction is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2013.

We remain committed to sustainable and environmentally friendly development as we strive to deliver the highest quality product to the military families we serve and meet the sustainability goals of the Army, said Williams. This project includes upgrades to maximize energy efficiency that meet the National Green Building Standard. Once certified at the Emerald level, the project will be 50% more energy efficient than homes certified at LEEDs highest rating which only requires 10% efficiency above ASHRAE code.

Balfour Beatty Communities to Develop Additional Housing at Fort Bliss, TX

The Wood-Ridge Council introduced a bond ordinance for $800,000 for municipal buildings and ground improvements at a public meeting, Nov. 20.

The borough is anticipating several matching grants for several projects.

The town is expecting $20,000 from the County of Bergen Open Space Program to finance the construction of gazebos at Veterans Park on Valley Boulevard and $35,000 from the same department for playground equipment at Veterans Park.

The council also anticipates $22,500 from the County of Bergen Historic Preservation Program for the cost of a historical study in connection with future renovations of the Brinkerhoff House Library.

"That ordinance funds a number of projects. It completes the improvements to the civic and senior buildings," said Borough Administrator Chris Eilert.

Eilert said the funds would also go to replace two jungle gyms at Veterans Park and build two new gazebos.

The administrator explained that the study of the Brinkerhoff House Library was a prerequisite to any improvements because of its status as a historical building.

"That study will make us eligible for grant money for renovations," said Eilert.

It #39;s located in the Seine-Saint-Denis dpartement, the most populous dpartement in the Greater Paris ("Ile-de-France") area. To spend some green time while in Paris, take that mtro which terminates at PLACE 8 MAI LA COURNEUVE, then take the T1 tramway in the direction of Saint-Denis a few stops, to SIX ROUTES. From there, walk North a bit, and within ten minutes tops, you #39;ll find one of the many entrances to the park, along with an enormous horse/riding center. The park is so big, it has entrances in several different towns and cities just to the Northeast of the Paris city limits. The park has a firing range, dog runs, several lakes and a river, manicured gardens, inaccessible wildlife refuges, the riding center, sports fields (including a huge boulodrome), places for hiking, biking and jogging, picnic areas, pavillions, gazebos, and a variety of wild animals and fish. I saw a man fishing here, and also saw in Stains, one of the nearby towns, a bait and tackle store. These will usually rent you fishing equipment for the day and arrange for you to have a permit for your time here. You do need to be able to speak and understand French. I am available as a private guide. My spouse visits this park often, for jogging and bike riding.
