Subject: | [CPEO-MEF] Luke Air Force Base (AZ) and encroachment |
LAFB better off than decade ago By Jill R. Goodman Independent Newspapers (AZ) November 7, 2005 Luke Air Force Base is better off now than 10 years ago, a Luke AFB official told the Glendale City Council last week. During a Nov. 1 City Council briefing, Rusty Mitchell, director of the Luke AFB community initiatives team, shared strides made in protecting the F-16 pilot training base annexed by Glendale in 1995. "We have literally gone from being known as the 'encroachment problem' back in Washington to the model of compatibility and land-use decisions around Luke Air Force Base," Mr. Mitchell said. "Our position has never been to stop development; it has always been to communicate with either the cities or the county, (and) the landowners so that we have compatible development around the base. And we have achieved that in spades over the last two years." ?
