SAN ANGELO – The 63 year old lease between the City of San Angelo and the United States Air Force for the use of the Goodfellow Recreation Camp on Lake Nasworthy is expiring and City Council members will discuss its future during their regular meeting Thursday.

According to COSA Parks & Recreation Director Carl White, Goodfellow AFB is proposing renewing the lease, year to year, with automatic annual extensions, not to continue later than June 30, 2031.
