NORFOLK, Va. — Military bases across Hampton Roads and Virginia could see more funding for military construction under Congress's proposed defense budget.
The U.S. Navy could also see two more Virginia-class submarines in the Senate version of the $866 billion defense budget.
The legislation includes a 3.8% pay raise for servicemembers, $3.1 billion for Virginia-class submarine procurement, and more than $18 billion in military construction funding, including $1.5 billion for barracks, housing and childcare.
Here's how much funding could be allocated by the Department of Defense under the proposed National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026:

Joint Base Langley-Eustis would receive $49 million under the proposed budget, including:
The Pentagon would receive $34 million, including $34,000 toward an operations facility.
Virginia's funding could also include more than $12,000 to complete a child development center at Joint Base Little Creek-Fort Story.
The Dam Neck installation could also receive $26 million for its SOP Operations Building Addition. This is extended from Fiscal Year 2023.
As the funding is proposed at this time, military officials in Hampton Roads were unable to comment further about any potential projects.
