City taking lease on air base in Syracuse
Syracuse advances toward city ownership of Mattydale Army Air Base by approving federal and state leases. The federal lease allows interim city operation for airport purposes while the state lease has the Syracuse Realty Board administering a veterans housing project on the base. The plan envisions eventual city ownership subject to possible War Department reclaim during national emergencies. Equipment at the base would transfer to the city as per the lease, with housing project finances reverting to the state.
