A 30 Year Battle Controversy over building more homes near Luke AFB continues... Luke Air Force Base located in Arizona continues to make the news when it comes to building new homes next to the air base. This battle has been going on for the last 30 years. Luke Air Force Base contributes over $2 Billion to the state economy. Plus, Congress is about to spend money on the F-35 jets. Luke would be the ideal site for the new f-35 training facility. However, large land owners continue to battle over the right to build new homes. There were talks of closing down Luke Air Force Base due to the number of homes so close to Luke and jets flying over residential area. It seems like there is hope for saving Luke Air Force Base. Governor Jan Brewer stepped into the talks to make this happen to secure Luke Air Force Base and to keep it open. All parties involved at the local, county and state levels must agree that there will be a stop to building new homes next to Luke Air Force Base. It looks promising that this will happen soon. We will keep you posted on this important topic. I believe the State of Arizona has to do everything in their power to keep Luke Air Force Base open both for national security and economic reasons. It makes sense to have an air force base in the desert. Personally, I feel protected having an air force base so close to Phoenix, Arizona. We have the best fighter pilots in the world being trained at this facility. |
