Original Plan
Initial proposals after the retirement of the air force base included an international airport, possible housing and the great park. In 2001, Orange County voters passed "Measure W" authorizing the former air station's use as a Central Park/Nature Preserve and multi-use development. The measure was passed which led to the designation of the land as the OC Great Park.

Famous quotes containing the words original and/or plan:
“The ideas of an age are most abundant where they are not crowded by original ideas.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“Who is the happy Warrior? Who is he
That every man in arms should wish to be?
It is the generous spirit, who, when brought
Among the tasks of real life, hath wrought
Upon the plan that pleased his boyish thought:
Whose high endeavors are an inward light
That makes the path before him always bright:
Who, with a natural instinct to discern
What knowledge can perform, is diligent to learn;
And in himself posses his own desire;”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
