Airport built on a former Air Force base

Austin-Bergstrom International Airport occupies the site of the former Bergstrom Air Force Base, which closed in 1993; the civilian airport opened on that property in 1999. The conversion from military base to commercial airport is a documented land-use transition that left military-era infrastructure repurposed for civilian aviation and support facilities. The airport's origin as a former military installation is a frequently noted example of a jurisdictional and land-use border being transformed.
