Fort Hunter Liggett is set to invest $9.6 million in upgrading the HVAC and domestic hot water systems at its historic Hacienda lodge. The project will implement a geothermal system to improve indoor air quality and enhance the guest experience by eliminating outdated infrastructure.

Funding comes from the Army Reserve’s REFoRM program and additional Army Energy funds. The contract for the project has been awarded to McKenzie Construction, with completion expected in four years to coincide with the Hacienda's centenary in 2030. The upgrades are part of a broader initiative to enhance energy and water resilience at Fort Hunter Liggett.
