GSA Announces Design-Build Construction Award for Grand Portage Land Port of Entry

CHICAGO – Today, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) announced the award of a $105 million Design Build Construction contract to McGough Construction—as part of the Administration’s priority to put America first and reinforce national border security—for design and construction of the Land Port of Entry Project at Grand Portage, Minnesota.

“This project will help deliver on President Trump’s priorities to secure the border and create American jobs,” said GSA Acting Administrator Mike Rigas. “The Grand Portage Land Port of Entry project is another example of how GSA partners with other federal agencies to deliver for the American people.”

GSA’s goal for the project is to provide necessary operational space, reduce traffic congestion,  facilitate trade and travel volumes, and enhance safety conditions. The project will replace all existing outmoded buildings with new, modernized facilities with improved security, efficiency, and increased capacity. 

Construction is planned to begin in summer 2026, with the new port opening in fall 2029. The current port will remain open during construction.
