American Hellenic Institute (AHI) President Nick Larigakis wrote to Secretary of Defense Dr. Mark Esper to raise the Institute’s concern that funding that has been authorized and appropriated by Congress for two military construction projects at NSA Souda Bay, Crete, has yet to be provided.
“…during my visit to NSA Souda Bay, where I received a high-level briefing from military officials, it was to my dismay to learn the $47.85 million has yet to be provided for the construction of those two projects at the Joint Mobility Processing Center and Marathi Logistics Support Center,” Larigakis wrote. “Because of NSA Souda Bay’s demonstrated importance to U.S. security interests in the region, to NATO’s mission, and to U.S.-Greece defense and security cooperation, it is imperative that this appropriation be provided without further delay for its intended use at the two projects.”
