Base expansion Scoping workshop in Wonder Valley

Residents concerned about the expansion plans of the Marine Corps Air-Ground Combat Center into Wonder Valley will be meeting to continue organizing a response on Saturday, January 3, 9 a.m., at the Wonder Valley Community Church, 82575 Amboy Road. Anyone interested in taking part is invited.

A special Scoping workshop will be held from 9 to 10 a.m. to help residents participate in the important Scoping process. Scoping is part of the environmental analysis required by law and allows stakeholders to state the issues they feel the analysis must address. (Learn more about the process here.)

At 10 a.m., following the Scoping workshop, the group will look at creating a name and a Mission and breaking into committees to address the issues.

Learn more in the Desert Trail.

The Trail also had an extensive report on the initial Dec. 20 meeting of the nascent Wonder Valley group.
