CBP seeks community input on Imperial County Border Barrier Project
IMPERIAL COUNTY, Calif. (KYMA, KECY)- The U.S. Customs and Border Protection are seeking the community's input on the new border barrier project in Imperial County.
The deadline for the responses has been changed from April 15 to May 15 due to the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic.
According to CBP, the coronavirus pandemic has created a challenging situation for stakeholders and the public to share key feedback and insights. However, it is being extended to allow the public more time to provide feedback to CBP.
In Imperial County, there will be approximately 11 miles of new steel bollard fencing.
The project also includes the installation of a linear ground detection system, road construction or refurbishment, and the installation of lighting, which will be supported by grid power and include embedded cameras.
The design of the new steel bollard fencing will include 30-foot steel bollards that are approximately 6” x 6” in diameter.
