Preconstruction works are currently in progress, with site mobilisation scheduled for early October this year. The project is expected to be completed in August 2025.

The value of this contract will be entered into the company’s backlog for the third quarter of 2023.

Everglades and Dry Tortugas National Parks spokesperson Allyson Gantt was quoted by WGCU News as saying: “We’ve got plans to improve the kayak, launch, the kayak launch, and then there’ll be a new, separate building for canoe and kayak rentals.

“That was designated as a temporary visitor centre for a very long time, and it was very much a part of our plans to build a new one and name it after Marjory Stoneman Douglas.

“It was actually authorised by [US] Congress in 1989 as part of the Everglades National Park Protection and Expansion Act.”
