The commanding officer of U.S. Coast Guard Training Center Cape May delivered the annual State of the Training Center Address in front of service members and employees here Tuesday at 9 a.m. Capt. Bill Kelly spoke to an audience of more than 300 military, civilian and Auxiliary personnel highlighting the significant accomplishments of the training center staff in 2011 and the challenges they face in 2012.
Kelly highlighted the completion of the $3.7 million gym renovation project, the $9 million beach replenishment effort, the renovation efforts to Etheridge Hall and the $2.5 million rehabilitation effort to Pier 3 aboard the facility. These construction projects are aimed at improving the quality of life and the mission readiness of the unit.
“The service has limited resources, and it must invest them wisely in a location where the Coast Guard can be confident it will be spent appropriately for projects that will ensure we maintain our shore infrastructure,” said Kelly during his address
