New Signs Sprout on Former Air Base

New signage on a 238-acre parcel of the former 1,100-acre Willow Grove air base officially designates about 20 percent of the land as the Horsham Air Guard Station.

The name was selected more than a year ago, following the September 2011 closure of Willow Grove air base, but for the weeks and months that followed, the Horsham Air Guard Station remained sign-less.

That is, until recently when signs were installed along Easton Road in Horsham to designate the property, which is used regularly by the remaining military components: The 111th Fighter Wing for the Pennsylvania Air National Guard, the 56th Stryker Brigade for the Pennsylvania Army Guard and the Army Reserve Center.
