Finally! The Grand Opening of Vista Field is Set for June 16th...

It's really a pretty big deal, the Grand Opening of Vista Field!

The municipal airport at Vista Field closed in 2013. Since then, city and county officials have worked to devise a plan to transform the 103 acres into a town center with neighborhoods and lifestyle amenities.

What will the finished project at Vista Field be?

The port says once the entire site is finished:

The development will feature a network of finely-grained streets with wide, pedestrian-friendly sidewalks and other urban lifestyle amenities. Vista Field will foster new jobs, housing options, civic amenities, entertainment, and recreational opportunities that everyone can enjoy.
There will be a mix of residential options appealing to various ages and incomes at full build-out, including single-family homes, condos, multi-family housing, spaces for mother-in-law cottages, and even opportunities for places to live above and work below.

Many of the included towns jump out at the casual observer as popular summer-rental spots--the Ozarks' Branson, Missouri, or Arizona's Lake Havasu--it might surprise you to dive deeper into some quality-of-life offerings beyond the beach and vacation homes. You'll likely pick up some knowledge from a wide range of Americana: one of the last remaining 1950s-style drive-ins in the Midwest; a Florida town that started as a Civil War veteran retirement area; an island boasting some of the country's top public schools and wealth-earners right in the middle of a lake between Seattle and Bellevue; and even a California town containing much more than Johnny Cash's prison blues.
