Construction began in December 2001 by general contractor, Dave Hall Inc. of New Castle, and will be completed this year in April. The Smyrna Readiness Center features state-of-the-art Anti-Terrorism and Force Protection measures, a 141-seat high-tech auditorium, a fitness center, locker room and 5,800 sq. ft. assembly floor. Overall, the building will provide 54,000 sq. ft. of staff offices and common work areas on a 13-acre site. Soldiers from the 261st, 721st and 31st are scheduled to occupy the new site in June.
