Washington • Two projects at Hill Air Force Base in Ogden totaling $54 million will be delayed as President Donald Trump steers Pentagon money to help pay for a new U.S.-Mexico border wall, the Defense Department announced Wednesday.
Trump’s emergency order will divert $26 million slated for a new Composite Aircraft Antenna Calibration Facility and another $28 million for the Utah Test and Training Range Consolidated Mission Control Center, according to Utah’s senators who had urged the Pentagon to leave Utah’s planned projects alone.
The two buildings were set to be built next year, though now will not be constructed unless Congress again sets aside money for them.
