Montgomery & Air Force Swap Land

Montgomery and Maxwell-Gunter Air Force Base finalized a land swap yesterday that was 20 years in the making.

The south and west portions of the Riverside Heights will go to the Air Force in exchange for Maxwell Heights, the location of former military housing. Maxwell-Gunter needed the property at Riverside Heights for base housing because it is adjacent to the base and allows for tighter security. Montgomery's plans for the former Maxwell Heights land is still under consideration, but most likely will not be residential, as it is close to the runway.

Residents of the subsidized housing area were given vouchers to help with relocation to other parts of the city.
