GRANT NARRATIVE
UNLESS OTHERWISE LIMITED, DEEMED INAPPROPRIATE BY SPECIAL
CONDITIONS OR ALTERED BY APPROVED BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS/BUDGET
MODIFICATIONS,the following narrative provided by Grantee in Grantee's November 11,2021
grant application applies to this Agreement:
The project would fund the acquisition of a restrictive use easement in a runway clear zone to protect
flight training operations at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi's (NASCC) Navy Outlying Field
(NOLF)Cabaniss Field. The restrictive use easement would secure a 51.85-acre site outside the city
limits of the City of Corpus Christi (City) in unincorporated Nueces County and thus outside of
municipal authority to prevent incompatible land development which could threaten the future of
military flight training operations at the only multi-engine primary flight training field in the entire
U.S. Navy. The easement property is the sole remaining piece of property in the clear zone not
owned or controlled by the U.S.Navy.The City would hold title to the easement and be responsible
for enforcing the terms of the easement.
