From the Huntsville Times:

NASA has announced plans to build an international base camp on the moon and permanently staff it by 2024, and it’s counting on Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville to help develop the lunar lander that will double as a moon construction truck.

Marshall will be responsible for the descent, or landing, stage of the lunar lander, which will be used to place crews, supplies, living and work modules on the moon’s surface.

I didn’t see any mention of an estimated price tag in the article.
