41-1531. Designating military reuse zone;
term; renewal


A. After executing a lease with a term of fifteen years or longer for the use or
occupancy of real property or improvements that are located on a closed military facility
with a runway that is at least eight thousand feet long at closing or after title to any
part of a closed military facility with a runway that is at least eight thousand feet
long at closing is transferred to this state or to another public or private entity, the
governor, after consulting with the director of the department of commerce, may designate
the property as a military reuse zone. Only properties that were used for operational and
training purposes of the active uniformed services of the United States qualify for
consideration as a military reuse zone.


B. The governor shall set a termination date for the military reuse zone that is
not more than ten years after the date the zone is designated. During the last year
before termination the governor may renew the military reuse zone for one term of ten
years. Thereafter, the legislature and the governor by joint resolution may renew the
military reuse zone for additional ten year terms.
