Additional Property Attributes

Potential future land use may be production of alternative energy through wind or solar.

Former Use: The Subject Property includes 492.60 acres of land previously operated by the U.S. Government as part of an over-the-horizon backscatter radar facility. The setting is rural and adjacent land use is primarily agricultural, used for the cultivation of blueberries and cranberries. The Subject Property includes two distinct areas identified as Sector 1 and Sector 3, respectively. Each sector previously supported an antenna array comprised primarily of a metal ground screen that extended approximately 5,000 feet in length and 1,000 feet in width. The majority of metal ground screen was recently removed from the Subject Property, however, wooden perimeter fencing and small sections of ground screen remain. Sector 1 of the Subject Property includes a large single story metal receiver building and a small garage, both constructed on concrete slabs. Sector 3 includes a single Receiver Building, also constructed of metal on a concrete slab. Both sectors are serviced by private water supply wells and septic systems. The facility was originally developed by General Electric Aerospace beginning in the early 1980�s and was only operational for approximately 3 months between 1993 and 1994. The facility was placed in �caretaker status� in 1997 and is currently vacant and unused.
