Enid city commissioners approved a $21,500 contract with Northern Oklahoma College (NOC) to develop plans for dormitory housing at Vance Air Force Base. The initiative addresses a critical deficit of 258 officer dorms, which impacts pilot training schedules.
The overall project is estimated to cost between $40 million and $50 million, with NOC potentially acting as the contractor if the project receives approval. NOC will conduct a Housing Charrette to analyze existing conditions and provide necessary design information.
The dormitories will be leased to the Air Force, with operations maintained by NOC. The payback period for the investment is projected at about 10 years.
