The U.S. Air Force transferred 2.4 acres, the final piece of former 
Myrtle Beach Air Force property it owned, to Horry County, it announced 
today.

The land is the last to be transferred because it took additional time 
to clean up the land and bring it up to environmental requirements set 
by state regulators and the Environmental Protection Agency, said
