George AFB Data Review

George Air Force Base is a former United States Air Force base located within the city limits of central Victorville, California and about 75 miles northeast of Los Angeles, California. George Air Force Base was officially decommissioned in December 1992. In 1993, President Bill Clinton announced a “Five Part Plan” to speed economic recovery in communities where military bases were to be closed. One part of this plan called for improving public participation in the base’s environmental cleanup program. George AFB was among several installations where environmental cleanup was placed on a “fast track” so base property could be quickly transferred to the community for reuse. While the base remains closed, local rumors continue of the Wherry housing units being haunted. (source: Wikipedia)
