HANSCOM AIR FORCE BASE, Mass. – The Department of the Air Force announces the availability of a draft Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact for the relocation of personnel here.
The proposed action would relocate more than 150 Air Force personnel to administrative workspace in an existing off-base commercial building located within 10 miles off Hanscom Air Force Base, Massachusetts.
The Air Force requires a facility with approximately 30,000 square feet of administrative office space and existing parking. The leased property would meet expected administrative interior configuration, communications and security requirements, which may require modifications to interior spaces and supporting infrastructure.
The duration of the lease would be an initial base year and four option years. The analysis of the proposed action includes evaluating four alternatives based on four regions within 10 miles of the installation. If the Air Force pursues this proposed action, then the final location will be determined through on an open-source competitive solicitation process.
The Draft EA and FONSI address potential impacts of the Proposed Action and the No-Action Alternative on the natural and man-made environments.
Officials anticipate less than significant impacts related to the proposed action.
Copies of the Draft EA and FONSI are available for review and download.
The 66th Civil Engineering Division does not provide hardcopies. Anyone without internet access is encouraged to contact his or her local library for assistance in downloading the document.
