ELLSWORTH AIR FORCE BASE, S.D. – Western South Dakota and the Ellsworth are undergoing big changes as part of the B-21 expansion.
There are currently 38 different projects happening to support more people in the area and changes to the base itself.
Monday was the fourth of seven weapon generation facility groundbreaking events at the base.
Air Force officials say the new generation facility is meant to act as an all in one storage and maintenance facility for Ellsworth’s current and future munitions.
They say the new facility will directly support the B-21’s role as a strategic deterrent for adversaries.
Several thousand new airmen are now going to be calling Ellsworth home through the expansion.
