Fort Lawton Closure Open
House
Wednesday, December 13,
2006
6:30 – 8:30 pm
Seattle Center • Northwest Rooms • Fidalgo Room
(near First Avenue & Republican Street)
The U.S. Army is closing the Fort Lawton Army
Base as part of the Base Realignment and Closure Act(brac ). The
City of Seattle will be hosting an open house to offer information
about this process and future plans for Fort Lawton to the
public.
What is
BRAC?
BRAC is the federal law and
process used to close or realign domestic military facilities. Fort
Lawton is being closed under the 2005 BRAC decisions. During the
BRAC process, the City of Seattle will serve as the Local
Redevelopment Authority andas such will develop a reuse plan for the
Fort Lawton property. This plan will be used by the Army in making
their decision on the future ownership of this property.
What will happen
to the fort in the future?
The
federal government is expected to convey at no cost, or reduced
cost, property requests for homeless and public benefit uses (such
as education, public health, parks & recreation, law
enforcement, etc.) that are in the local redevelopment plan. Any
property that is not conveyed for these purposes will be sold for
fairmarket value. Fort Lawton will likely close by late 2009.
Attend the open house on the 13th, visit www.seattle.gov/neighborhoods/fortlawton/fortlawton.htm,
or contact Christa Dumpys, Queen Anne Neighborhood District
Coordinator, at christa.dumpys@seattle.gov
or 206-684-4812. |
