Contrary to the latest headlines, the final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) does NOT indicate that a decision has been made.

Truax was identified as a preferred site for the F-35 fighter jets based on logistical considerations (cost of construction, existing infrastructure, etc.) and that hasn’t changed. But the Air Force reviewed over 6,400 public comments on the draft EIS (thank you to everyone who commented!) and will incorporate them to determine by the end of March whether Truax is still a good location.

It’s possible that the Air Force may choose another site based on the enormous environmental, social and fiscal impacts of siting the jets here – and our continued public opposition.

We need to keep up the pressure to make sure they understand the level of opposition.
