FORT MCCOY, Wis. (AP) — Federal stimulus money will pay for $30 million in renovations at Fort McCoy near Sparta.

The money from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act will be used for a number of projects, including renovating the World War II era barracks, road reconstruction and water main maintenance.

A total of $37 million will be available for upgrading Army facilities in Wisconsin, including Camp Williams in Tomah and the Army National Guard in Onalaska.

Their barracks are awful. I'm glad they are using the money for things that need it and not piddling it away on crap projects.
