HOLLOMAN AIR FORCE BASE, N.M. - Holloman Air Force Base officials will speak
at upcoming scoping meetings September 12-14 across New Mexico to discuss
the Special Use Airspace Optimization Project.
The project is intended to optimize the special use airspace available for
current and future pilot training at Holloman Air Force Base.
The airspace associated with the proposed action, and its alternatives, lies
within the jurisdiction of the Federal Aviation Administration Albuquerque
Air Route Traffic Control Center -- who is coordinating with the Air Force.
The Air Force is advising the public of its intent to prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement, or EIS, to assess the results of modifying
or creating new special use airspace.
Three public scoping meetings are scheduled to be held to receive public
input. These meetings will be held: - 6:00 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 12 at the
Carlsbad Public Library located at 101 S. Halagueno St., Carlsbad, NM,
88220.- 6:00 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 13 at the Truth or Consequences Civic
Center located at 400 W. 4th Ave., Truth or Consequences, NM, 87901. - 6:00
p.m., Thursday, Sept. 14 at the Hilton Garden Inn located at 2550 S. Don
Roser Dr., Las Cruces, NM, 88001.
The public can submit comments online through the website:

Cardno, 501 Butler Farm Rd., Suite H, Hampton, VA, 23666.
