Bush calls for a $42 million operations and technology center @Menwith Hill
STUTTGART, Germany — President Bush is asking for $430.3 million in military construction funds for Europe in 2006, mostly for housing and other projects at U.S. bases expected to be around for years.

Much like the 2005 construction budget, the largest amounts of funding are slated for Army facilities in Grafenwöhr, Germany, and air bases in Ramstein, Germany, and Lakenheath, England. A $42 million operations and technology center at the National Security Agency at Menwith Hill, England, has also been requested.

It's worth reading the article in full as this post gives the impression that the money is being spent on some sort of expansion however it is clear this funding is for housing to accomodate the existing staff. As some of the housing dates back to the 1940's it's not really surprising.
