SALEM, Ore. – With the recent approval of the National Defense Authorization Act by Congress on January 1, 2021, the Oregon Military Department received approval to construct a $15,735,000 barracks building at the Camp Umatilla National Guard Training Center, formerly Umatilla Army Chemical Depot, near Hermiston, Oregon. This new 26,000 square foot barracks building is in addition to $11,280,000 for two additional barrack buildings also under design for the National Guard. It is planned that all of these projects will be bid out for construction this summer with completion in the summer/fall of 2022. The federal funding for these projects will also include needed infrastructure and supporting facilities necessary for the Oregon National Guard to conduct its training and mission.
