Mather Cleared for Transfer to Sacramento County

totaling 3,533 acres at the closed Mather Air Force Base, has been  
cleared for deed transfer. This includes Mather's airport with one of  
the longest runways in the country and Mather Regional Park, with  
hiking trails, vernal pools, a lake and picnic areas.

Soon after Mather closed in 1993, the Air Force Real Property Agency  
leased the property to Sacramento County enabling redevelopment ahead  
of deed transfer. Nearly twenty years later, Mather is home to a  
corporate campus, residential neighborhood, cargo airport and  
expansive parklands. Although most of Mather's 5,718 acres is still  
owned by the Air Force and leased to Sacramento County, this is about  
to change with the upcoming transfer.

Removing a final hurdle to land transfer, the Air Force and  
regulatory authorities last month deemed all properties on Mather  
"suitable for transfer." This comes on the heels of decades of  
environmental cleanup performed by the Air Force and certified by  
regulators.
