A contractor in Wasilla will build new housing for the US Coast Guard in Seward. The Coast Guard awarded a design-build contract valued at approximately $9.8 million to Orion Construction for six housing units and one maintenance support building.
Houses for Homeport
Orion Construction has more than forty-five years of experience in public works and commercial projects. Its portfolio includes Valdez Senior Housing, the Talkeetna Wastewater Treatment Plant, Wasilla High School swimming pool improvements, and military projects such as obstacle course upgrades at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson. In Seward, the company remodeled the cafeteria, bakery, and dish room at the Alaska Vocational and Technical Center.
The housing units are a key element of the Coast Guard’s efforts to homeport a Fast Response Cutter in Seward, providing modern facilities for Coast Guard personnel and families. Coast Guard Cutter Frederick Mann was commissioned in May and is temporarily homeported in Kodiak until facilities in Seward are ready.
