THE METROPOLITAN TUCSON CONVENTION AND VISITORS BUREAU HITS THE MARK ON OUR FUTURE SUSTAINABILITY

Tucson Forward supports the kind of economic development that is being promoted by the Metropolitan Tucson Convention and Visitors Bureau. One of “The Five C’s” that Arizona still has to offer is “Climate”. We wholehearted support tourism for Tucson which “is already a $2.4 billion industry” It does no harm to the community as in the case of loud aircraft, especially the F-35. Tourism is how Tucson will go Forward.

TUCSON FORWARD’S LEGAL TEAM SUBMITS A STUNNING COMMENT LETTER ON THE DRAFT EA FOR THE OPERATION SNOWBIRD EXPANSION AT DAVIS-MONTHAN

UPDATE OCT 5, 2012: The OSB EA Comment period has closed. The EA final record is projected for completion in Jan 2013. Please read the following comment letter submitted by Tucson Forward Inc. and the Arizona Center for Law in the Public Interest

Guest Opinion The Air Force’s draft assessment of its plan to expand Davis-Monthan’s Operation Snowbird is stunningly deficient

The fundamental deficiency of the assessment is its failure to explain how the total number of Operation Snowbird flights can be almost doubled and yet have no significant effect on the surrounding human environment. Residents who live under the current Snowbird flight paths, as well as simple common sense, tell us this can’t be true.
