FORT POLK, La.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Corvias has completed a major energy modernization initiative across its military housing community at Fort Polk, converting approximately 3,600 homes to high-efficiency ground source heat pump (GSHP) technology.

The project replaces legacy HVAC systems with geothermal heating and cooling for more consistent indoor comfort, quieter operation, and improved efficiency. It builds on prior energy enhancements at the site, including advanced metering and optimized hot water systems. The upgrades are expected to reduce annual electricity consumption across Fort Polk’s military family housing community by 30 percent, generating more than $2.6 million in annual utility and operational cost savings.

Strengthening Military Housing

“Energy modernization is a key part of our long-term partnership with the U.S. Army and reflects our commitment to listening to residents and delivering tangible improvements that matter in their daily lives,” said Kolby Stobbe, SVP, Property Operations, Corvias. “At Fort Polk, we’ve delivered a community-wide transformation that increases resident comfort and strengthens long-term housing performance and resilience.”

The milestone is part of a $92 million investment in infrastructure improvements to the Fort Polk military family housing community, including:

  • Full interior renovations of approximately 140 homes
  • Exterior upgrades to nearly 1,000 homes, including new siding, paint, trim, and gutters
  • Roof replacements and structural improvements
  • Updated kitchens with modern appliances and finishes
  • Improved lighting, fixtures, and flooring
  • Neighborhood playground enhancements and refreshed community spaces
  • Utility and drainage upgrades to support long-term performance

A Model for Whole-Community Modernization

As one of Corvias’ long-standing public-private housing partnerships with the U.S. Army, the Fort Polk military family housing partnership demonstrates how sustained reinvestment can elevate the resident experience while also driving local economic impact. Together, these improvements transform legacy U.S. Army housing into refreshed, modern neighborhoods that better reflect the expectations of today’s service members and their families.
