Natural Resources
A brief History:
Goddard landas we know it today, was originally acquired by the USDA from private owners between 1929 and 1936. GSFC is located on five unconnected tracts of land that, with one exception, were subsequently purchased outright or occupied under revocable permit from the USDA. These tracts correspond to the eastern and western portions of the Greenbelt site combined; Outlying Areas 100, 200, 300, and 400 combined; and a small parcel on the west side of the Baltimore-Washington Parkway.
For Goddard’s current and future look, refer to Goddard’s Master Plan:
