The U.S. Air Force is seeking input from private industries and businesses on possible commercial development for 152 acres at Arnold Air Force Base in Coffee County, Tenn.
“This is what’s called an enhanced-use lease opportunity, where we offer land at a fair market value to enhance use of that land,” Arnold Engineering and Development Center spokesman Jason Austin said. “Generally, there’s a benefit to the government and the lessee.”
Arnold asked for the input — technically called a Request For Information — in March.
The Air Force doesn’t have “preconceived notions” about long-term uses for the property, he said. The government is fishing for ideas on long-term uses for the land that benefit the lease-holder and the government, he said.
