The 1,120 square-foot store will be expanded to 5,000 square-feet. Construction is expected to be complete by December 2016 at a total cost of $2.8 million. I have been working on improving the store since my first term in Congress. A study I included in the 2011 National Defense Authorization Act determined the project to be viable, but the expansion was delayed for over two years, while a team from the U.S. Navy made sure there was no unexploded ordnance on the site. The existing store, which serves nearly 4,000 active and reserve service members, retirees, and their families is small, deteriorating, and in need of a major overhaul. Our service members, veterans, and their families deserve better and can finally look forward to a new and improved AAFES Troop Store on Saipan opening soon. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
