FREDERICK, Md. — Allen Edwards, CEO of EBA Enterprises Inc. and a veteran who was once homeless, recently landed a $4 million federal government contract to do construction work on the Arlington National Cemetery visitors center.

The award is the largest job Edwards has won since he started his Service-Disabled Veteran Owned HUB Zone-certified small business in 2004, he said.

EBA Enterprises Inc. has four employees, but the company is using about 30 subcontractors, many of whom are veterans, to install chillers for heating and air-conditioning systems, ductwork, ceiling and tiles, and do landscaping work at the visitors center, Edwards said.
