U.S. Customs and Border Protection have given $ 309 million Contract for the construction of the United States-Border Wall to Fisher Sand & Gravel, according to a statement from June 18 by the agency.
The North Dakota Dickinson firm will build approximately 27 kilometers of new border wall in the county of Santa Cruz, Arizona, which is within the Tucson sector of the United States border patrol. The project for “closing critical openings on the border wall” is funded by the agency’s 2021 financial exercise and will resume the work canceled during the Biden administration, by the North -American customs and the protection of borders.
This is the second contract for the construction of border walls of the second term of President Donald Trump. Watsonville, California granite construction, got the first: a $ 70 million contract to build approximately 7 miles of New border barriers to Hidalgo County, Texas.
The Secretary of the National Security Department, Kristi Noem, also issued a new resignation to accelerate the construction of up to 17 additional 17 kilometers of new border wall in Texas within the Rio Grande Valley sector of the agency, according to the statement. This allows builders to overcome environmental laws such as the National Policy Policy Act.
“This is the fifth resignation signed by Secretary Noem for the construction of a border wall and demonstrates DHS’s continuous commitment to ensure the expedition of the physical barriers needed to secure the southern United States border,” according to the statement.
Although the Trump administration continues to support the construction of the border wall, Texas has stopped financing his effort After installing only one fraction of the hundreds of kilometers of potential barrier defended by Governor Greg Abbott, Texas Tribune reported. 8% of the 805 miles of the state identified for construction is complete, with a cost of $ 3 billion.
