Just months after the Pentagon announced that they would close the Brunswick Naval Air Station, The State of Maine and the towns of Brunswick and Topsham have moved quickly to begin the redevelopment process.

Three separate agencies will oversee the lengthy process of redeveloping the Brunswick Naval Air Station property. Local and state officials gathered Thursday in Brunswick to announce that groups representing Brunswick, Topsham and the state will work together to find appropriate uses for the 3,200-acre complex in Brunswick and the 80-acre Topsham Annex.

Gov. John Baldacci called Thursday's events "a huge step . . . This gives the process an official stamp. It is rare that towns could do this so quickly."
