Readiness and Quality of Life Top Priority for Family Housing
Fort Johnson, LA (December 19, 2024) – Corvias is proud to announce a series of significant enhancements completed at Fort Johnson as part of an ongoing commitment to supporting military readiness and quality of life for service members and their families. These upgrades reflect the dedication to improving facilities, ensuring readiness and resiliency, and creating a safe, supportive environment for the community.
Key Enhancements and Projects
Over the past two years, Corvias has made substantial strides in upgrading Fort Johnson’s homes and infrastructure, with numerous projects now complete or nearing completion by mid-2025.
These upgrades include:
Renovations: A comprehensive renovation project which includes 185 medium-scale renovations, 1,058 exterior renovations, and 83 mansard roof conversions. All renovations are expected to be completed by March 2025.
Playground Installations: Four new playgrounds were constructed to provide safe and enjoyable recreational spaces for children.
Road and Sidewalk Repairs: A series of crucial road and sidewalk repairs are underway to improve access and safety for the family housing community’s residents. Notable projects on residential streets are completed or nearing completion.
Geothermal Upgrades: A total of 153 homes have received geothermal upgrades and 327 more are slated, improving heating and cooling comfort, energy efficiency and sustainability.
Site Grading, Concrete, and Foundation Repairs: Four foundation repairs, along with site grading and concrete work, are expected to be completed by the end of 2024.
ESPC Project: The Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC) Project offers high-efficiency upgrades across the installation, with guaranteed energy cost savings of $1.3 million annually. These improvements, completed at no upfront cost to the project, are helping to create a more energy-efficient Fort Johnson.
Solar Project: Corvias is also making strides toward sustainability with the implementation of a solar project, which will allow the family housing community to derive 40 percent of its energy from renewable sources and stabilize energy costs.
“We are excited about the positive impact these improvements will have on the residents of Fort Johnson, and we remain committed to providing high-quality, sustainable living environments for the military community,” Peter Therrell, Senior Vice President for Asset Management for Corvias said.
