Old Wallops Coast Guard Station Offered
Free or Will Be Demolished If Not
Moved
The 1883 Wallops
Island Coast Guard Station near Virginia’s Assateague Lighthouse is up for
grabs according to a U. S. Navy spokesperson. The station was discontinued
in 1947 and was acquired by the Navy’s Wallops Flight Facility. The problem
is that the Navy wants it moved and it will be given free to anyone that
agrees to move the structure.
If no one can be
found to take the historic station and move
it, they plan to demolish it.
Although some
organizations have expressed an interest in the
property, none have the money to move it.
Interested parties
can contact the Public Affairs Officer, Keith Koehler,
at 757-824-1579 or email him at
a.Koehler@nasa.gov by July 28.
