Abstract:

From World War II through 1955, Laurinburg Maxton Air Base, in Scotland County, sat unused and deserted. Located on 5,700 acres between Shoe hill Creek and the Lumber River, Airpine has been released by the government to a joint commission from the two neighboring towns. Airpine is the only park in America where class A manufacturing concerns operate side-by-side with a 900-acre pasture and feed lot for the commercial fattening of beef cattle. The Airport Commission has made elaborate and detailed plans for the development of this immense facility as one hundred zoned industrial sites are currently available.
