  • Closure of AFIT Parcourse/Walking Track

    The site east of Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) and between National Rd., where the walking track / parcourse is located has been leased to a local developer, Synergy, through an Enhanced Use Lease (EUL) Agreement. The site will be a new office park with low-rise office buildings for commercial use.  Site work and construction is scheduled to begin Mar 2025.  A new perimeter fence will be constructed to allow public access to the development.  Once construction begins, the parcourse/walking track will be permanently closed.
