The new foundation is being laid at the Fort Fisher State Historic Site in Kure Beach, North Carolina. The Bordeaux Construction Co. crews are currently working on it as the first step in a multi-phase project that will also erect new facilities for the North Carolina Underwater Archaeology Branch.
Also, pending money from the state, work will be done on the Civil War fortifications of the fort as well. (Part of the fort's land face was leveled for a landing strip that was used for anti-aircraft practice during World War II. That part will be rebuilt.)
By May, the foundation will be complete and the new two-story building which will house the museum and visitors center will begin construction.
"Then we will start going vertical," said Ben Warren, vice president of Bordeaux Construction.
