Site work, paving and outdoor lighting for a mixed-use development in Naco, Arizona. Completed plans call for site work for a military facility; and water / sewer project.

Introduction Camp Naco is a cornerstone of Buffalo Soldier history in Arizona and represents the proud tradition of Black military regiments after the Civil War. The Camp's 100+ year-old adobe buildings and 16 acres sit just 600 yards north of the US-Mexico border in the community of Naco Arizona and reside on the ancestral lands of the Chiricahua Apache. In the aftermath of World War I and the Mexican Revolution, Camp Naco was one of 35 permanent camps established as part of the US War Department's Mexican Border Defense Project - a plan to build a 1,200-mile-long barrier of soldiers and military camps along the United States-Mexico border from Brownsville Texas to Nogales Arizona - to safeguard American citizens and economic interests. During this period, Camp Naco housed African American troops from the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry Regiments, and later the Twenty-fifth Infantry Regiment, collectively known as Buffalo Soldiers, who served their country with patriotism and resilience during a period of racial segregation. Today, Camp Naco remains the only surviving post from this historic border protection effort and endures as a testament to the military, economic, political, and cultural values that define the heritage of this unique place. In 2012, the Camp Naco Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and in 2018, the property was acquired by the City of Bisbee which continues to manage and maintain the site. In May 2022, Camp Naco was named one of America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. This was followed by two significant awards granted to the City of Bisbee and the Naco Heritage Alliance (the governing 501(c)(3) nonprofit): $4,600,000 from the Office of Arizona Governor Doug Ducey and $3,500,000 from the Mellon Foundation for the rehabilitation of Camp Naco's historic buildings and the development of community programming to sustain their future use.
