Fort Eisenhower, Ga<\/strong>. \u2014 U.S. Senators Reverend Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff\u2019s bill to ensure Ft. Eisenhower families have access to early childhood education was signed into law by President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sens. Ossoff and Warnock\u2019s bill<\/a> extends the authorization needed to ensure completion of a new child development center on Fort Eisenhower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sens. Ossoff and Warnock secured bipartisan support in Congress last year<\/a> to deliver $21 million for a new Child Development Center on Ft. Eisenhowe<\/a>r\u2014 offering more space and modernizing classrooms to ensure high-quality early childhood education for Augusta\u2019s military families; however, the Department of Defense\u2019s authorization for the project is set to expire at the end of this fiscal year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fort Eisenhower Child Development Center Expansion Act<\/em> will provide the Army a one-year extension of its authority to continue work on the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m committed to making sure the military families on post and all who are serving at Ft. Gordon have access to early childhood education,\u201d Sen. Ossoff said.<\/strong> \u201cSenator Warnock and I wrote and passed this law to ensure the Army has the necessary authority to build this new child development center for Ft. Eisenhower families.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur military families sacrifice so much for our country, and it is our duty as a nation to ensure they have the support they need. That is why Senator Ossoff and I are working to upgrade and expand child care facilities at Ft. Gordon for Augusta\u2019s military families,\u201d said Senator Reverend Warnock. <\/strong>\u201cI will continue working to improve the living and working conditions for our servicemembers and their families across Georgia.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sen. Ossoff continues working to ensure Ft. Eisenhower\u2019s military families have the living and working conditions they deserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the last two years, Sen. Ossoff has led bipartisan investigations into the mistreatment and neglect of military families<\/a> living in privatized housing on Ft. Eisenhower, highlighting the misconduct that many families faced while living in these housing units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sen. Ossoff also oversaw home-by-home inspections of the privatized housing units<\/a> on Ft. Eisenhower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
