Chatham Poised for Navy Jet Base Says Ayres
Rep. William H. Ayres announced the Navy plans a 5 million dollar jet training base in Chatham Township with construction to start in June after House Armed Services committee approval in January. The base would employ about 400 military personnel and be relocated from Akron’s Naval Air Station to the site. The township, about 15 000 acres with over 1 000 residents, splits on the project citing economic benefits but concerns over noise taxes and livestock impact.
