More than $202 million in new construction on Fort Bragg is unaffected a by defense funding bill compromise presented by House and Senate leaders.
Overall, the proposed 2014 National Defense Authorization Act would provide $552.1 billion in funding for national defense and an additional $80.7 billion for the war in Afghanistan.
The compromise bill was released late Tuesday and is pending approval by the larger Congress, with some doubting whether it will be approved by the end of the year.
The House is set to adjourn for the month on Friday, and the Senate is scheduled to do the same next week.
