Opportunities at Camp Atterbury Subject of the TEN Community Roundtable

Colonel Barry Richmond, Installation Commander at Camp Atterbury will be the keynote speaker at the TEN Community Roundtable on May 11 at 8:00a.m.  Colonel Richmond will discuss Camp Atterbury’s history from its inception in 1969 and their evolution into one of the only six permanent sites for national troop training and mobilization in the United States. Many businesses are not aware that Camp Atterbury has many jobs and contracts that are available to civilians and businesses.   This is a wonderful opportunity for local businesses to learn about the contracts that are available and how the bidding process works so that your efforts could be more successful.
