DDS unveil 5 year infrastructure investment plan

With the new DDS GHQ about to become operational (though much work needs to be done on Helnikan Island) the DDS have announced a 3.2 billion 5 year plan for improvement of the 3 next most important sites in the DDS.

DDS City on Proxima 7, DDS Communications HQ on Proxima 5 and DDS Engineering HQ on Solaris will all receive full refurbishments in the plan due to start in 2114. Key infrastructure like networks, power and water will all be upgraded and security will be enhanced. DDS Research will receive a new centre dedicated to worm drive technology at DDS City and DDS Communications will built a new VLF broadcasting site and research lab.

Part of the plan will be funded by selling surplus land. No fewer than 17 small DDS sites will be closed over the next couple of years and the personnel and facilities moved to DDS City. The sale of land could raise 1.1 billion zarks, the rest will come out of the DDS infrastructure budget.
