Little Rock Air Force Base Increases Offer Of Land To School District

The AP (11/1) reported, "Little Rock Air Force Base now is offering more land to the Pulaski County Special School District for future school construction." In 2007, the Air Force "initially offered the district 20 acres near the base's back gate." Though the district "has not accepted the offer," Air Force Col. Andy Coggins told Superintendent Charles Hopson last month that the offer still stands and "is being increased by 77 acres." The AP added that school board President Bill Vasquez is ready "to get started on the project."
