This represents a reduction<!--more--> of 83 homes at the<br>\r\nVal Del site when compared to the original proposal.<br>\r\nDevelopment would also require housing area<br>\r\ntransportation infrastructure (e.g., roads) and utility<br>\r\nconnections for each housing unit, as well as desired<br>\r\ncommunity features such as athletic areas and community<br>\r\ncenters.  The land area underlying the on-base units<br>\r\nwould be leased to the developer for a period of up to 50<br>\r\nyears; the land area for the off-base parcel is privately<br>\r\nowned and a developer will develop, own and operate the<br>\r\noff-base housing area\/units.\r\n<p>\r\nHard copies are available for public review at the South<br>\r\nGeorgia Regional Library in Valdosta, Georgia.
