THIS IS NOT WHAT THE ARMY INTENDED FOR THE TOWN OF HERLONG
On November 28, 2000, the Lassen County Board of Supervisors agreed to take 4788 acres of surplus Army land in Herlong.
435 Acres for the Town of Herlong
4353 Acres around the Amedee Army Airfield
The Army has a 50 year renewable lease with Lassen County for the Airfield
In 2003, the Sierra Army Depot transferred 4788 acres of land (which included the town of Herlong) to Lassen County under the newly formed Lassen County Local Reuse Authority.
The Board of Supervisors & Sierra Army Depot
developed a mandatory plan, for the use of the property in 2004,
which the Lassen County NEVER intended to follow.
Herlong 2004 Redevelopment Plan
This was the Plan ?
Until September 30, 2013, all property was owned and managed by the Lassen County Board of Supervisors
