WEYMOUTH - The overseers of the former South Weymouth Naval Air Station 
have offered to buy the remaining Navy-owned land on the site, a 
critical step in its redevelopment.

South Shore Tri-Town Development Corp. made the offer for the 835 acres 
after a year of appraisals and negotiations.

Officials would not disclose the sum offered to the Navy. The Navy and 
Tri-Town have both appraised the base land, and both are keeping their 
appraised values secret.

Development Corp.’s bid to buy air base land are how and when the land 
will be cleaned.

There are at least five sites on the base where there is known, major 
contamination. The Navy still controls this land, which includes hangars 
and a landfill.
