Closure and Transfer of Site
Closure of the site was ordered in December 1958 to be concluded no later than June 1966. The land is now occupied by Central Community College, which uses some of the former buildings, Hastings East Industrial Park (HEIP), a golf course, the GreenLief training facilities for National Guardsmen and Reservists, and the US Meat Animal Research Center, which was granted part of the site in 1964.

Famous quotes containing the words transfer and/or site:
“No sociologist ... should think himself too good, even in his old age, to make tens of thousands of quite trivial computations in his head and perhaps for months at a time. One cannot with impunity try to transfer this task entirely to mechanical assistants if one wishes to figure something, even though the final result is often small indeed.”
—Max Weber (1864–1920)
“That is a pathetic inquiry among travelers and geographers after the site of ancient Troy. It is not near where they think it is. When a thing is decayed and gone, how indistinct must be the place it occupied!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
