History
This site became an FAA/ADC joint-use site in 1964, furnishing radar track data to the FAA and data tied to USAF Direction Centers. The initial ARSR-2 radar equipment remained in place until updated to a Common Air Route Surveillance Radar (CARSR)with a 7172 Antenna.

By 1990 the site was equipped with an ARSR-2 search radar and a CD-2A Common Digitizer. The Garden City CD-2A was scheduled to receive an upgrade kit to implement three level weather data processing on 25 May 1990.
