Navy to Lease Conroe Airport as Reserve Base
The Montgomery County airport at Conroe may be leased by the Navy as an air reserve base, placing more than 100 reservists weekly under training and a 25 man staff to maintain aircraft. The base would house over 850000 dollars in Navy equipment and serve Baytown and Gulf Coast reservists, replacing Dallas training trips. Negotiations have lasted weeks with the county court already offering the lease. Baytown reservist Frank R. Hefner supports the move and notes a new recruitment program.
