Grand Central Air Terminal	188.83	Glendale	Between January 1942 and May 1943, the United States acquired legal interest in the Grand Central Air Terminal, which at the time was a privately-owned airport. A total of 188.83 acres were acquired for use by the military. A major portion of the acreage (181.7 acres) was leased from Curtis-Wright Corporation, and the balance (7.13 acres) was acquired through lesser interest. The site was utilized by the U.S. Army Air Force as a training facility and subsidiary airport during World War II. The site also served as a sub-base to Van Nuys Municipal Airport. From 1942-1943, the U.S. Army constructed improvements on the then-existing airport and adjoining land. In January 1946, the U.S. Army determined the site to be surplus to their needs and the major lease for 181.7 a res was terminated in 1948. The 7.13 acres of lesser interest use was terminated between 1944 and 1948. The streets had been closed and utilized by the U.S. Army. In October 1946, an agreement was executed between the U.S. Government and the City of Glendale, which relieved the U.S. Government of any further responsibility for street maintenance. Based on the foregoing, the site has been determined to be formerly used by the Department of Defense and is therefore eligible for the Defense Environmental Restoration Program-Formerly Used Defense Sites established under 10 USC 2701 et seq.
