Hill Air Force Base and Boyer Hill Military Housing broke ground on Sept. 17 to begin a development that will add 26 homes for military families. The project aims to expand housing options for Airmen and their families on the installation.
The development is located in the Area A neighborhood on the west side of the installation and will consist of 13 new structures. Construction is expected to be completed in September 2027. To accommodate the new development, one existing fourplex in the project area was approved for removal.
This expansion is intended to increase the inventory of officer housing at Hill AFB. The project will allow certain existing officer units to be redesignated for senior noncommissioned officer housing, an initiative designed to help address waitlists for SNCO housing.
Col. Tyler Hess, 75th Air Base Wing deputy commander, stated that adding 26 housing units is a significant development. Hess noted that finding a home is a critical factor for military families who may be unsure of how long they will remain at a new installation, as housing affects school attendance and community experience.
Because the project is located in Area A, a neighborhood with historic significance, Boyer Hill Military Housing worked with the State Historic Preservation Office during the planning stages. Madisyn Galloway, Boyer Hill Military Housing assistant community manager, said the new residences are designed to align with the character of the surrounding neighborhood through compatible scale, visual elements, and materials.
Galloway said the project marks a milestone in the partnership with the United States Air Force and the commitment to providing high-quality housing for military families.
