Facts: Employment and Business Opportunities

Published: November 23, 2016 | Category: BGCAPP Facts

The Program Executive Office, Assembled Chemical Weapons Alternatives’ (PEO ACWA) mission is to safely destroy the chemical weapons stored at the Blue Grass Army Depot in Kentucky and the U.S. Army Pueblo Chemical Depot in Colorado. In order to successfully accomplish this mission, PEO ACWA will oversee the design, construction, testing, operation and closure of pilot-test facilities at each of these locations.

The storage and elimination of the chemical weapons stockpiles can serve as an economic opportunity for a community. This rings true for the communities of Richmond, Kentucky, and Pueblo, Colorado, where PEO ACWA administers the chemical weapons disposal facilities. The continued storage and disposal mission will take several years and require local workforces. PEO ACWA is committed to tapping into local businesses and workers to support the disposal of chemical weapons. To learn more about employment or business opportunities in Richmond and Pueblo, refer to the contact information below.
