Three separate agencies will oversee the lengthy process of redeveloping the Brunswick Naval Air Station property. Local and state officials gathered Thursday in Brunswick to announce that groups representing Brunswick, Topsham and the state will work together to find appropriate uses for the 3,200-acre complex in Brunswick and the 80-acre Topsham Annex.
