A plan to modernize Border Patrol’s busiest facility includes $500,000 for new art in San Diego, the Weekly Standard reports.

The San Ysidro Land Port of entry, which handles traffic between San Diego and the Tijuana region, is undergoing $735 million in upgrades.

The artwork is part of the third phase of the project, which spans more than a decade.

The GSA recently began soliciting contractors, including artists.

The spending is in line with the GSA’s “Art in Architecture” program, which calls for one-half of one percent of construction expenses to be spent on artwork.

The federal government is accepting registration from artists until Oct. 6.
