Alameda Navy Base Reuse Agreement In Doubt
Submitted by Paul Shigley on 25 February 2010 - 10:19amRelations between the City of Alameda and developer SunCal appear to have soured in the wake of voters’ overwhelming defeat of SunCal’s plan to redevelop Alameda Naval Air Station.

Moffett Field May Provide Base Reuse Model
Submitted by Paul Shigley on 21 October 2009 - 3:49pmThe Navy closed Moffett Naval Air Station in 1994, and, at first, some buildings sat empty. But now, given the right economic conditions, Moffett is poised to be a national model of base reuse with various parts serving as a business incubator, business park and research university. Collectively, those projects could add as many as 4,000 residences, more than 2,000 students and upwards of 5,000 employees to the former base.

El Toro Auction Offers Something For Everyone
Submitted by importer on 1 May 2003 - 12:00amWhile it might be hard to convince some of my left-leaning brethren of the case, the forthcoming auction of El Toro will likely benefit the local community, the military and private business, in that order. The City of Irvine, not known to be a pushover on matters relating to the former Marine Corps base, seems just short of ecstatic about the arrangement.
