The full story

As part of the redevelopment of 1501 Langston Boulevard, the applicant proposes a roughly 1,409‑square‑foot Air & Space Force Association Heritage Gallery on the ground floor that will include exhibits, meeting space and the preserved Doolittle legacy wall. Applicant counsel described the gallery as a commitment the owner made to the AFA when it vacated the site; the space would have direct access from a pedestrian plaza onto the Custis Trail and be available for civic associations.
