Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station --  The Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station (NFARS) hosted a groundbreaking ceremony for a $9.8M Community Activities Center. This new construction will replace a number of existing buildings to include the current all ranks club and base dining facility.

This project will provide increased processing and feeding of troops as well as offer base leadership with an improved area for commander's calls, promotion and retirement ceremonies, and staff meetings. The estimated completion date for this joint use facility is August 2011 and will be open to all military members, retirees, federal, state and local agencies.

"The Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station is truly becoming a joint service installation where other military and federal agencies are combining their services and being good stewards of the taxpayer's dollars," said Colonel Allan Swartzmiller, 914th Airlift Wing Commander.

Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station is home to the 107th Airlift Wing of the New York Air National Guard and the 914th Airlift Wing of the Air Force Reserve. The two wings work together in an unique associate relationship, sharing aircraft and facilities.

At the conclusion of the groundbreaking ceremony refreshments provided by NIMAC were prepared and served by the 914th Services Squadron.
