Land Exchange Bill Introduced in the House!

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

We’re pleased to announce that the Southeast Arizona Land Exchange and Conservation Act, the legislation that will allow us to proceed with the development of our project, was introduced in the United States House of Representatives by Congresswoman Ann Kirkpatrick. You may have seen the article on this in the Arizona Republic. In the article David Salisbury pointed out that this introduction is the culmination of Congresswoman Kirkpatrick’s countless hours of meetings with stakeholders and her deliberate and thorough discussion of this matter with constituents regarding this important legislation.

We would like to thank Representative Kirkpatrick for her work on this legislation and applaud her efforts to collaborate with all of the stakeholders in this process. We realize that the introduction of our bill is a first step in a long process and look forward to working with her office as the bill progresses.

As someone following our project, I encourage you to share your input on this legislation with Representative Kirkpatrick. You can find her on Facebook or you can contact her office at:
