Orlando Partners may begin redeveloping the base property as early as August. That is when the City of Orlando plans to purchase the installation from the Navy and resell the property to the developer. Officials estimate the entire project of redeveloping the Naval Training Center will last ten years. The Navy will continue its training mission through a lease-back with the City of Orlando until closure, scheduled for April 30, 1999. Christopher L. Zevallos has been named the 1998 Naval Reserve Sailor of the Year during a May 7 ceremony at Naval Reserve Force Headquarters in New Orleans.
