What is the status of the Navy School Property in Athens?
The Navy Supply Corps School, which occupies a 58-acre site in Athens, was designated for closure as part of the Navy’s Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process in 2005. That year, the Secretary of Defense recognized the Athens-Clarke County Local Redevelopment Authority (LRA) as the sole authority for the development and reuse plan for the site. In 2007, the LRA voted unanimously to approve the UGA proposal to establish a health sciences campus at the site. The Navy expects to vacate the site by 2011. By 2012, the site will be the UGA Health Sciences Campus.
