FORT RILEY, Kansas \u2013 Fifty-two new single-family homes were unveiled as part of an initiative by the 1st Infantry Division in partnership with Corvias Property Management in the Warner Peterson Neighborhood on Fort Riley, Kansas, July 11, 2023.<\/p>\n

Prior to unveiling the homes with a ceremonial ribbon cutting, remarks were made by Command Sgt. Maj. Christopher L. Mullinax, command sergeant major of the 1st Inf. Div. and Fort Riley, and Pete Sims, the Department of Defense Managing Director at Corvias, in support of the Army\u2019s resiliency goals and to improve the installation\u2019s desirability for Soldiers while stimulating the local community.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf all the places I\u2019ve lived, and I\u2019m not just saying that because I\u2019m the division sergeant major, I couldn\u2019t have had a better experience being here with the Fort Riley team and living on this installation,\u201d said Mullinax. \u201cThe reason that all works is because we have this great partnership with Corvias.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since the partnerships began in 2006, Corvias has invested about $600 million in improvements, which includes the development of 2,169 homes on Fort Riley. According to Sims, this is believed to have an economic impact of approximately $1.4 billion.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a trusted Army partner we not only focus on the homes and families but we also try to help our military partners with their goals and objectives,\u201d said Sims. \u201cOne of these is renewable energy.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Fort Riley, Corvias has developed around 12.3 megawatts of energy derived from systems capable of harnessing solar power. A new phase looking to add an additional 4.35 MW has been approved to begin in the near future.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a real great benefit to our housing community because it fixes our costs in the long term and then it helps the Army with their resilience and renewable energy objectives,\u201d said Sims.<\/p>\n

As part of The Army Climate Strategy, the service hopes to deploy a gigawatt of renewable energy projects by 2025, enough to supply 250,000 homes. This objective includes building micro-grids on every installation across the United States by 2035. By 2030 this strategy hopes to achieve a 50% reduction in net greenhouse gas pollution on Army installations with the ultimate goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.<\/p>\n

\u201cCorvias has created an environment where our Soldiers and their families can be successful,\u201d said Mullinax. \u201cWe have an elite group of civilians that work tirelessly behind the scenes in all sorts of different jobs. Being here with the Big Red One and being a Soldier living on the installation, they\u2019ve made sure I\u2019ve been taken care of.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
