England Air Force Base was closed in 1992. Since then the base has been turned into
an Airpark with various businesses occupying the vacated buildings. The golf course has
undergone a major overhaul, changing it from a nine hole course to eighteen. Part of the
base housing was turned into a very nice community for senior living. The local airport
was changed from the old Esler Field in Pineville to the Airpark and renamed Alexandria
International Airport.
Update (24 December 2007): Two new fire stations have been constructed. A multi million dollar air terminal and new control tower are now in use. A new hotel has been opened, along with other new constructions, and modifications to the existing buildings. A number of the old buildings have either been replaced or just torn down which better beautifies the grounds.
The golf course has been renovated and is now a new 18 hole facility with a new clubhouse.
We are still looking for photos and other mementos from the past. If you have such and would like to have them posted here please send them to the Webmaster.
