(KNZA)--The Kickapoo Tribe held a ground breaking ceremony Monday for their new, long awaited $1.6 million tribal administration building.

According to a news release, the structure has been in the planning stages for many years.

The new complex will consolidate several tribal programs that have been housed in various buildings on the Kickapoo Reservation. The new facility will also contain a storm shelter and other crisis mitigation components.

Construction of the just over 13,000-square-foot facility is made possible with funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency as well as private donations.

At the groundbreaking ceremony attended by members of the Kickapoo Tribal Council and tribal members, Tribal Chairman Randall said, “this new building belongs to our members and will be a lasting symbol of our investment in our Reservation and the people we serve.”

Construction by Red Circle Development of Merriam, Kansas will begin in mid-November, with completion projected for the end of May, 2016.
