New Combined Shop Maintenance Support Building Construction Project
Construction has started on a new Combined Shop Maintenance Support (CSMS) Building for Western Pennsylvania after nearly a decade of planning. This building will be located at Pittsburgh International Airport near the 171st Air Refueling Wing, Pennsylvania Air Guard Station. The project is funded through MILCON Federal and PA State Capital Funds with an estimate cost of $31 million. The current CSMS Shop was built in the 1920’s and is in Coraopolis, PA along 5th Avenue with limited space for expansion. The new CSMS will greatly enhance the maintenance readiness of Western Pennsylvania Units while also providing a new updated work environment for federal technicians that are assigned to the shop. Construction is projected to be completed in Summer of 2027.
