城堡承包建造圣路易斯的新退伍军人社区项目
Veterans Community Project (VCP) and Castle Contracting are building a community of 50 tiny homes for veterans experiencing homelessness as well as a Veterans Outreach Center to provide support services on a land parcel in North St. Louis.
城堡设计了现场和现场基础设施，是该项目的民用承包商。Kadean Construction正在建设外展中心，而小型房屋则由退伍军人社区项目预制和建造，并得到合作伙伴的支持。
房屋的大小为240平方英尺至320平方英尺，预计将用作过渡性外壳。该中心将是退伍军人可以接受咨询的地方。退伍军人社区项目执行董事亚当·麦克布赖德（Adam McBride）表示，现场工作正在进行中。

“We pulled in a lot of our trade partners and talked them through what the mission is and helped them to look at it that way as well as to say, OK, how can we do this,” says Ryan Neff, project manager for Castle. “None of us are trying to make money on this project. We're really trying to figure out how can we be the best stewards of the resources and help the most.”
Castle is both the engineer-of-record and the contractor on the project. Laborers Local 110 is sponsoring one of the tiny houses, all of which will be framed by union carpenters.
麦克布赖德说：“我们不仅可以在这里获得适合我们需求的3.5英亩土地，而且在北部，我们在前门门口有公共汽车运输，而南方的南方则是约翰·科克伦·弗吉兰（John Cochran VA）医疗医院。”

VCP是由一群战斗退伍军人在堪萨斯城建立的，他们的任务是填补一个将太多服务成员留在后面的系统的空白。组织发誓要为任何退伍军人服务，而不论出院状态，服务时间长度或服务类型。VCP已经建立了一个堪萨斯城校园，该校园已为4,100多名处于危险的退伍军人提供服务，并成功地将80名以前无家可归的退伍军人转变为自2018年开放以来的永久住房。
麦克布赖德（McBride）解释说：“ 80％的退伍军人与大多数人通过服务获得的关键支持服务没有联系。使与这些服务的连接变得更加容易，对将自杀的退伍军人人数降低到了真正的影响，这是我们所做的主要事情之一。”

11月29日,第一个在芝加哥的火车旅行new Red-Purple Bypass, a milestone in the largest capital project in the Chicago Transit Authority’s history at $2.1 billion. The bypass removes a bottleneck north of the Belmont Station, where as many as 150,000 riders travel daily at the intersection of the Red, Purple and Brown lines. Relieving pressure at this pinch point is expected to have a positive effect on the entire transit system, sections of which are more than a century old, according to the CTA.

The facility is anticipated to open in the first quarter of 2024. The project was expected to break ground in 2020, but was delayed due to the pandemic. WDC felt comfortable moving the project forward in late 2021.
