Jake Roth , the head of master planning for the Garrison ' s Directorate of Public Works , provided an update on the construction happening at the new Lab Revitalization Project for the Space and Missile Defense Command . Construction projects are taking place all over Redstone Arsenal , from the Fowler Road area to the secure area of Redstone Gateway near Gate 9 . About a year ago , a groundbreaking ceremony was held for the Missile and Space Intelligence Center ' s Advanced Analysis Complex at the Richard C . Shelby Center for Missile Intelligence . The first phase of this $130 million project , which covers 102 , 000 square feet and is currently under construction , is expected to be finished by September 2025 , according to Jake Roth . He also mentioned that Phase II is a projected $150 million , 154 , 000 - square - foot multi - purpose operational facility with a large data center for high - performance computing . This phase is currently being bid on . Another development happening on the site is a Lab Revitalization Project , which is a 7 , 700 - square - foot facility for research , development , test , and evaluation for the Space and Missile Defense Command . It is expected to be completed by November 1 . "We ' re getting ready to start the bidding process for primary substation 4 in the coming months , " he said during his presentation at a Facebook Town Hall . "We already have three other primary stations that receive high voltage power from TVA and distribute it throughout Redstone Arsenal . " These primary stations are connected and provide power for the entire site , according to Roth . "The fourth station is necessary to meet the increased demand from all the recent and planned construction on Redstone Arsenal , " he added . It will also enhance the electrical grid ' s resilience by providing an additional geographically diverse station and high - voltage power feed from TVA . Construction is set to begin later this winter and should be finished by spring 2026 . The new primary substation will be located at the intersection of Patton and Mills roads . Another project that is visible on the east side of Rideout Road near Gate 9 is the second phase of infrastructure improvements for the secure area of Redstone Gateway . In the summer , specifically in June , there will be adjustments made to Goss Road , connecting it to the existing roundabout in the secure area . This will eliminate the need for a U - turn on Rideout Road and provide easier access to Goss Road , Fox Army Health Center , the golf course , and other amenities . Derrick Gould , the director of the Garrison’s Family and Morale , Welfare and Recreation , mentioned that construction on a new Food , Beverage and Entertainment Center will begin in a few weeks . Challenger Bingo will move to the new building , which will also feature a new food spot for Redstone housing residents and other visitors . The grand opening is set for summer 2025 .
