City to take over Air Force base for 108 million
San Antonio officials and top Air Force officers will finalize a $108 million transfer of Kelly Air Force Base to a city redevelopment authority. The four-decade deal makes GEDC owner of land buildings and utilities east of the runway as the base closes by 2001 and privatization begins with a C 5 maintenance contract later this year. The landmark conveyance is the largest of its kind to date and aims to protect local jobs while reshaping defense work at remaining depots.
