Present Land Use
The CAADC contains many facilities and infrastructure because it was once a fully operational Air Force Base. Existing facilities include an existing and operational airfield 11,800 feet long, with associated hangars and outbuildings.
Document Description
Castle Air Force Base was selected for closure in August of 1991, with all military activities ceasing in September of 1995. The Castle Joint Powers Authority (JPA) was formed in August of 1995 to oversee the development and reuse of the site. The CAFB site was renamed (CAADC) and the JPA developed a Reuse Plan, which identified appropriate uses for the CAADC with the intention of maximizing both economic and community-based benefits. Surrounding cities of Atwater, Merced and the County of Merced were included in the analysis process. The Castle AFB Reuse Plan and Local Agency Military Base Recovery Area Final EIR (CAFBRP and LAMBRA FEIR) were certified in 1996.
