I’m proud to recognize the contribution to the base operations the Envision Xpress employees make daily,” said Congressman Doug Lamborn of Colorado Springs, a member of the House Armed Services Committee. “Congratulations to Envision Xpress for eight years of quality service and for creating and sustaining local jobs under the AbilityOne Program for people who are blind or severely disabled.”
