Tyndall Air Force Base is currently undergoing a $4.7 billion rebuild after taking damage from Hurricane Michael in 2018.

On Tuesday, the base posted to its Facebook, several pictures of a new 42,732 square foot marina that’s currently being built.

The facility is one of many projects taking place at the base. Officials say once complete, the marina will include a bar, restaurant, recreational storage space, a boat dock with 20 slips, and fishing areas.

The facility is expected to be completed by early 2025.
