25 years after closing, ex-McClellan base draws $600M investment

Following its shutdown in 2001, McClellan Air Force Base prompted worries about economic decline. However, the area has been revitalized with McClellan Park, which boasts a $600 million investment and encompasses 10 million square feet of facilities. The site now functions as a public-use regional hub, enhancing local transportation and offering significant employment opportunities, while also emphasizing environmental restoration initiatives since the base's closure.
