Promotion of the use of former sites

In October 2004, the Japan-US Joint Committee agreed on a return policy for six U.S. military facilities in the city. Of these, the return of Koshiba oil storage facility was realized in December 2005, the return of the Tomioka Warehouse area in May 2009, and the Fukaya Communications Station in June 2014.
In city, we set up "Yokohama-shi return facility ruins use project" by city management responsibility position in October, 2004 and summarized examination contents until then as "first report" in March, 2005 .
In June 2005, the “Yokohama City Return Facility Site Use Design Exploratory Committee” was set up with academics and others as a committee member, and in December of the same year, received “Proposals on the Use of Sites of Return Facilities”. Based on the opinions of many citizens, in June 2006, we formulated the "U.S. Army Facility Return Site Use Guidelines" After that, in March 2007, the policy for realizing the guidelines was compiled as the "Yokohama City U.S. military facility return site use action plan" (revised in March 2011).
Based on these guidelines and action plans, Motoichi will steadily promote the early return of U.S. military facilities and the use of former sites.
