The Pease Development Authority, the public entity that manages land around the former Pease Air Force Base near Portsmouth, N.H., has received the title to the final 268 acres of the base. The organization had leased the acreage from the Air Force pending the resolution of environmental issues covered under federal Superfund laws. PDA says it is well into developing the land for industrial and commercial use.
Air Force Gen. Alexus G. Grynkewich assumed command of U.S. European Command on July 1, taking over the key assignment as the U.S. and its allies contend with a resurgent Russia and a grinding war in Ukraine.
