Um first groundbreaking ceremony .
We've had as far as the brigade goes ,

armory from the ground up . So pretty
exciting day . Um we're able to share
the day with some jewishhowardcounty
nephi city state representatives as
well as our state leadership on the
guard side .
Um Number one is , we're able to
uh influence how the building was made ,
everything from offices to our
conference rooms , the drill floor , I
have a say in it . Um I have to make
shift or or create something after ,
but I actually have a footprint that is
built for our units and how we operate .
Mhm . Um Well that's exciting . Uh
what's the timeline ? So the timeline ,
they're just obviously as you can , you
know , seeing here they are breaking
ground right now and in the fall of
2023 , so we're a little ways out , but
fall of 2023 will be moving in and
operating right out of here . How is
this going to make for individual
soldiers and how is it going to make
them better at their jobs and more
ready to go to work . This will be ,
this will be a perfect place for that .
It gives them um uh a location that's ,
there's , that can make it their own ,
it'll have every resource needed ,
it'll have all the equipment here as
well , so you don't have to go up to up
to Utah County for their equipment . Um ,
And then it's also , uh , as a new
building , it has all the technology
built into it as we advance as a guard ,
the internet capabilities and the
digital footprint we have . This
building will be able to handle that
