Original Plan
Initial proposals after the retirement of the air force base included an international airport, possible housing and the great park. In 2001, Orange County voters passed "Measure W" authorizing the former air station's use as a Central Park/Nature Preserve and multi-use development. The measure was passed which led to the designation of the land as the OC Great Park.

Famous quotes containing the words original and/or plan:
“All nationalisms are at heart deeply concerned with names: with the most immaterial and original human invention. Those who dismiss names as a detail have never been displaced; but the peoples on the peripheries are always being displaced. That is why they insist upon their continuity—their links with their dead and the unborn.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
“If you insist on asking me why I feel the way I do, I plan to take the Fifth Amendment.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
