HILL AIR FORCE BASE -- A $105 million project to upgrade hundreds of outdated homes at Hill Air Force Base is now complete.
Air Force officials on Thursday held a ceremony celebrating 576 homes that have been renovated and 437 new homes that have been built since the project launched in September 2005.
The old units were built in the mid-1960s and had few of the modern amenities of most homes today.
Salt Lake City-based company Boyer Hill Military Housing will provide financing and property management of the homes for 50 years. The Air Force will take ownership of them after that.
The last two homes from the 1960s were demolished in March.
