ARNOLD AIR FORCE BASE, Tenn. -- The Wingo Inn, located at Arnold Air Force Base, will be transitioned to recreational lodging.
One of nine lodging facilities selected for divestiture by the Department of the Air Force, a decision was made by Arnold Engineering Development Complex senior leaders in August to transfer a portion of the building over to Outdoor Recreation at Arnold.
Of the 29 rooms, ODR staff will now manage and maintain 20 of those – 12 exterior entrance rooms, two Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant rooms and six suites.
Lodging employees have been retained based on positions available and positions required to continue operations. Room rates, which were previously set by the Air Force Services Center, may be set locally and may include seasonal rates.
Other useful remaining property will be used by ODR, with the remaining property expected to be sold.
